Quest Discovery Wizard for SQL Server – Beta“Discover your SQL Server environment”SQL Server databases are proliferating throughout organizations. This presents a challenge to all levels of the IT organization – how many SQL Servers are deployed, how many are running mission-critical versus non-critical applications, where are they located, are any candidates for consolidation? Quest Discovery Wizard allows you to detect SQL Server instances and monitor the current network for changes. It provides a number of discovery methods which help you to reveal even those SQL Server instances which cannot be detected using the native tools. Discovery Wizard allows you to: - Find how many databases there are and how much data is there
- Determine databases that are good candidates for consolidation
- See history of these databases including when created and installed
- Learn what versions of SQL Server are deployed and what their service packs are
- Understand server names, instance names and operating systems
- See who the end users are
