BRISTOL, U.K., 14 September 2009 - Norb Technologies today announced that it is making SQL Enterprise Monitor for SQL Server available for download at www.norbtechnologies.com/downloads.aspx.

"SQL Enterprise Monitor saves time for busy DBAs, quickly identifying problems which other SQL Server tools lack," said Rachel Clements, joint CEO at Norb Technologies.

"We based our product on feedback from real-world DBAs with real-world problems, and their demand for details that are missing from Microsoft's own tools."

"SQL Enterprise Monitor eliminates per-server license fees, and boasts a raft of new time-saving features that let DBAs know about and fix problems quickly, before users and colleagues start yelling."

For busy DBAs, the product provides at-a-glance information about SQL Server and related services that are paused or stopped,

across the enterprise.

With one click, issues that cause major production and development problems, such as service pack differences, security mode and collation sequence differences are easily identified, compared and reported.

Spotting problems such as failed jobs right across the organization is now quick and easy thanks to the new job monitoring features.

A free 14-day trial version is available to download from www.norbtechnologies.com. SQL Enterprise Monitor costs $295 per licensed user and has enterprise support for unlimited SQL Servers. It is also available at a discount as part of the Smart DBA Toolkit bundle.
