AUSTIN, Texas, May 14, 2024 — SolarWinds, a prominent provider of observability and IT management software, has introduced substantial enhancements to its SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA). These upgrades are designed to offer enterprises enhanced visibility and control over databases in both on-premises and cloud environments, particularly focusing on optimizing PostgreSQL databases.
Enhanced PostgreSQL Support
The latest version of SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (2024.2) now offers exceptional support for PostgreSQL, a leading open-source database management system with over 1.7 million global deployments. A standout feature in this update is the Tuning Advisors, which scrutinizes queries, tables, and indexes to provide actionable insights for optimizing database performance and reducing bottlenecks.
Streamlined Migration Support
Another key enhancement is the Migration Support feature, which simplifies the transition from Oracle to PostgreSQL. This capability aims to reduce costs and ensure efficient, consistent management across critical databases.
“At SolarWinds, we understand the critical role of database performance in driving business success,” said Jeff Stewart, VP of product management at SolarWinds. “These enhancements to our database performance management solutions aim to provide our customers with the insights, monitoring capabilities, and AI-powered guidance we know firsthand they need to deliver a seamless user experience through even the most complex database management challenges.”
Unified Observability and User-Friendly Interface
Unlike other database management solutions, DPA offers comprehensive, unified observability across complex on-premises and cloud database environments. Its user-friendly interface is designed to be accessible even to non-database professionals, easing the monitoring process and facilitating migration from Oracle to PostgreSQL.
Advanced Performance Analysis
DPA utilizes wait-time analysis to identify the root causes of performance issues, helping IT teams maintain database efficiency and stability during migrations from legacy systems. The solution monitors critical SQL query performance metrics such as response time, throughput, and resource consumption, providing continuous insights to guide performance improvements over time.
Database Performance Analyzer is part of SolarWinds’ extensive database performance management portfolio, which also includes SQL Sentry and SolarWinds Observability. Leveraging AI-powered insights, the SolarWinds suite helps enterprises proactively streamline, optimize, and de-risk their systems while keeping costs under control.
