Bradmark Rolls out Its Latest Version of Surveillance For Sybase(TM).

HOUSTON -- Bradmark Technologies, Inc., an established provider of data management solutions, today announces the general availability of Surveillance for Sybase(TM) version 3.0.4. Key enhancements include: Sybase MDA table monitoring, ASE 15 native support, Windows Event Log Monitoring, Windows Service Monitoring, Enhanced User Defined Collections and much more.

Surveillance for Sybase is the first comprehensive and cross-functional set of monitoring tools that satisfies all of an organization's data management needs across an entire Sybase installation and beyond. Surveillance for Sybase real-time monitoring tools, which include Surveillance DB for Sybase ASE, Surveillance IQ for Sybase IQ and Surveillance RS for Sybase Replication Server have all been built from the ground up by one development team, and the unique agent-based architecture is suited to any size implementation.

"Surveillance 3.0.4 demonstrates Bradmark's commitment to providing top tier monitoring solutions for the Sybase ASE database marketplace," said Raj Rathee, ASE product manager, Sybase. "Sybase ASE has established itself as one of the most cost-effective data management platforms for business-critical computing and the new Bradmark offering will complement ASE's capabilities."

As shipped, Surveillance contains a comprehensive set of pre-defined rules that can easily be configured to warn DBAs of impending performance and availability issues on ASE databases across the enterprise.

Surveillance continues to offer support for a wide range of ASE versions (11.0 through 15) and supports utilizing Monitor Server and DBCC access to the monitor counters for environments where the MDA tables are not installed or available.

A central history database provides a repository from which historical reports can be produced for after-the-fact performance analysis and troubleshooting, as well as capacity planning for all monitored databases on the network. "This new release simplifies Sybase ASE database management by providing insightful views of performance indicators with drill-downs to the process and executing SQL level for root cause analysis," said Tom Callaghan, Bradmark's Vice President of Product Development.

Surveillance has an extensive alerting and alarming facility that can be easily set up to notify multiple DBAs by e-mail, pager, HP Openview or Tivoli alerts, pop-up windows, or record the alert message in the Windows Event Log. The DBA can also execute a fix-it script or operating system program, including ISQL. The flexible agent architecture allows you to scale to any size configuration and simultaneously monitor multiple database instances from multiple database vendors. With Surveillance, you can monitor your entire Sybase environment from either a single or multiple console configurations with an intuitive graphical user interface.
