"I can honestly say that if all software companies were as
knowledgeable and quick to serve their customer, no one would complain
about software functionality ever again. I whole heartedly
recommend Teratrax to anyone who manages SQL Server based applications"

Teratrax Performance Monitor allows you to significantly reduce time
spent on collecting scattered Microsoft SQL Server performance data and
user activity across your enterprise leaving you with more time to spend
on other tasks. It monitors SQL Server instances using a low-footprint
technology and collects performance information that you can analyze
with an easy-to-understand user interface. You can monitor real-time
activity or go back in history and correlate performance data over time.
Analyzing the history of key performance indicators like cache hit
ratios, slow SQL code, and system utilization (memory, CPU, disk,
network, etc...) helps you identify busy periods, eliminate bottlenecks,
and increase SQL Server throughput.
Alerting features in Teratrax Performance Monitor allow you to
monitor all your enterprise servers and get notified when any server
stops responding or when a job fails or slows down. Whether you have a
few dozen jobs or hundreds of jobs, Teratrax Performance Monitor can
save you long hours of manually checking the status of individual SQL
Agent jobs. Alerting is also available for slow SQL code, deadlocks, and
SQL Server blocks. You can easily create custom e-mail alerts and stay
updated on the status of your SQL Server operations.

SQL Server Performance Counters
The most important performance counters to watch when tuning SQL
Server performance are CPU usage, memory usage, cache hit ratios, and
disk I/O. Even though CPU capacity and available memory are crucial,
disk I/O is frequently the cause of bottlenecks in most systems. Paying
extra attention to disk I/O and cached disk access is worthwhile.

SQL Server Blocking and Deadlocks
The more blocking happens on SQL Server the less concurrency the system. A
certain amount of short blocks are unavoidable but too many blocks for longer
periods of time can degrade performance and increase the chances of SQL Server
deadlocks.

Advantages of SQL Server 2005 (64-bit)
64-bit processors are expected to dominate the markets by the end of 2007. It is
clear that the industry is moving towards the 64-bit platform fast, especially
for server hardware. The move towards the 64-bit platform has been driven by
lower hardware prices, especially after the introduction of x64 architecture by
both Intel (EM64T) and AMD (AMD64).
