SQLBeat Case Studies

SimplePart

SimplePart operates a multi-datacenter enterprise environment, with federated database services spanning four datacenters and 30+ synchronized MS-SQL servers using SQLBeat's SQLFed (www.sqlfed.com) technology.

SQLBeat monitors 90 servers and via SQLFed orchestrates transaction synchronization via SimplePart's private cloud of 10,000 transactions per minute. Weblog data is read in at an average of 44,000 log rows per minute. Web monitoring tracks configuration, content and code across 3,200 separate IIS-farm bindings.

Monitoring and Alerting delivered via SQLBeat is core part of SimplePart's 99.99% SLA.

Planet Payment

By leveraging SQLBeat and SQLBeat's onsite DBA Services, Planet Payment has been able to reduce average transaction processing time by 30% and average transaction over-time ratio (a measure of the number of transactions that run longer than target runtimes) by 75% - all while supporting an increase in transaction volume of more than 100%. SQLBeat DBAs have also implemented application level monitoring, and a comprehensive Disaster Recovery plan.

Using SQLBeat's integrated data warehouse, SQLBeat DBAs have also constructed a Dashboard Reporting system that allows Planet Payment staff to monitor database and enterprise performance, and to track trends in their own application-level transaction processing.

Presently, SQLBeat DBA staff manage Development, Quality Assurance and Production database environments. Planet also uses SQLBeat to provide real-time performance monitoring of their production systems, and SQLBeat staff is on-call 24/7 to address any issues that arise. SQLBeat staff also provides development support, code reviews and deployment management - on average, 30 hours per month.

Georgia Department of Education

By leveraging the full suite of SQLBeat's monitoring systems, The Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) has been able to reign in over 100 servers of all types. Not only are all SQL Servers in the enterprise monitored on a 24x7 basis, but so are SharePoint servers, Web Servers, File Servers as well as Oracle Database and Application Servers.

Using SQLBeat's integrated data warehouse, SQLBeat DBAs have also constructed a Dashboard Reporting system and carefully targeted monitoring that allows SQLBeat and GaDOE staff to monitor database and enterprise performance, and to track trends in their own application-level transaction processing.
