Idera Announces Availability of Mobile SQL Server Management Software for BlackBerry

SQL mobile manager version 3.0 offers mobile SQL Server
performance monitoring, diagnostics, and administration from
BlackBerry devices
HOUSTON--(Business Wire)--Idera, a leading provider of management and administration
solutions for Microsoft SQL Server, today announced the availability
of SQL mobile manager version 3.0, a software solution that enables
database administrators to monitor SQL Server performance and perform
SQL Server management tasks -- anytime anywhere -- from wireless
handheld devices. SQL mobile manager version 3.0 now supports
BlackBerry Wireless Handheld Devices as well as Windows Mobile
Devices.

"I am amazed at the number of SQL Server management tasks that I
can perform with SQL mobile manager. Recently, SQL mobile manager also
saved us a lot of time and headache. We were doing maintenance on a
SQL Server in another state," said Darryl Billick, System
Administrator, Verifications, Inc. "It was 2 AM on a Sunday morning
when something went wrong with our connection, preventing us from
finishing our work. I used SQL mobile manager to quickly reboot the
server. Five minutes later we were able to access the box again and
continue working. When I told the local PC tech that I didn't have to
wake him because I was able to reboot SQL Server with my 'phone,' he
was very impressed!"

Recently selected as a winner in the Best of Connections Awards at
DevConnections, SQL mobile manager makes database administrators more
productive and extends the functionality of BlackBerry handheld
devices with these powerful SQL Server management capabilities:

Provides immediate access to real-time SQL Server performance
metrics and alerts: View the health, performance statistics, and

expense required for on-site visits.

Peace of Mind: With anytime, anywhere access to critical database
performance information, database administrators can quickly and
actively check the status of any SQL Server worldwide to ensure
