    “The simple tool for today’s complex world”


    Server Forecast 1.0(For Sybase databases)

    A new product designed to meet a growing need to monitor database systems for analysis and preventive maintenance.  This product performs real-time monitoring of several Sybase database servers and reports on server statistics, availability, performance and contention. 

    This tool isn’t just for database administrators; it’s for everyone who cares about the status of their system.  Now, if you want to monitor several database servers throughout the day or quickly check the status of a server, Server Forecast allows you to do it from your desktop. 

    Server Forecast provides a user friendly, graphical representation of the server’s condition based on locks, blocks, tempdb and process activity.
     

    specialized

    One of the things that makes Server Forecast unique is its ability to extract information from a Sybase server that usually involves custom-made scripts designed by a consultant.  Now, companies can reap the benefit of pre-designed solutions to reveal potential anomalies in production systems based on development monitoring.  Hiring a consultant to explain when and why your system is slow can be expensive, but with Server Forecast, it doesn't have to be.

    Client-Based

    Like some database monitoring applications, you are required to create a database or install server-side components which can involve additional maintenance from a database administrator.  Even if the database footprint is small, it creates another level of concern and maintenance although you may only need certain statistical information.  Also, if your network goes down or the server-side component crashes, it can be difficult to determine where the bottleneck exists to even use your "monitoring" tool.  Depending upon your monitoring needs, a good monitoring tool should inform you whether your database server is down independent upon your dependent server-side component or operating system's condition. 

    Server Forecast is a client-based tool that extracts information from your server without the need for server-side installs.  Depending upon the typical nature of your system and situation, the need for a DBA to monitor your system can decrease.  By placing the power of monitoring your system back in your hands, you can properly allocate and track your budget toward DBA maintenance costs.

    User Friendly

    It can be challenging trying to understanding the various aspects of a relational database management system.  Server Forecast allows you to feel at ease when deciphering information about your system.  With an easy-to-use graphical interface, you can monitor the various aspects of your system without being a rocket scientist!  Analyzing the affect of your applications in a production or development environment hasn't been easier.
