Federal DPA Testimonial
“Currently we only use DPA, which helps our IT
Developers with the database. In the future we
would like to use software that monitors network
traffic, trace routes, etc.”

SQL Server Performance
State and local testimonial
“The database team uses SolarWinds
Database Performance Analyzer to manage up
to 50 licenses. Performance problems can
come from all directions, so this tool is
extremely useful because it's a catch-all.”

SQL Server Performance Tuning
Optimize servers and databases with SQL performance tuning
• Use response time analysis for SQL performance
tuning
• Identify bottlenecks, pinpoint their root causes, and prioritize your
actions based on user impact
• Gain critical insights with response time analysis
• Measures time for every wait type for each query, and compare
this data across queries
• Leverage SQL tuning tools
• Establish wait time baselines and get information on causes and
potential fixes
• Use real-time metrics
• Measure current server speed, perform in-depth query, index, and
setting tuning, and track results

@solarwinds
Database Performance Management
Cross-platform support for both cloud and on-premises databases. Anomaly
detection powered by machine learning gets smarter over time to help you
identify the bottlenecks slowing down your applications.
• Multi-dimensional wait analysis – Set the exact context for troubleshooting performance hits
with accurate root cause determination
• Detailed query-level performance analysis – Get query-level wait profile, advisors, inefficient
data access, statistics, plan changes, blocking involvement, and resource metrics all correlated in
one view
• Expert advice for query and table tuning – Proactive tuning and optimization with index
recommendations and performance projections along with inefficient query analysis
• Virtualized database monitoring – Best-in-class VMware® VM and host analysis including event
logging
• End-to-end performance monitoring – Orion Platform integration provides a single-pane-of-
glass view from the network to the storage array via AppStack™ and PerfStack™ dashboards
