SQL defrag manager
What's New in SQL defrag manager 2.5
- Proactive Resource Verification – Proactively
monitor critical system resources to ensure they are
within acceptable limits prior to beginning the
defragmentation
- Policy Monitoring and Alerting – Continuous
monitoring of system policies and notifications in the
event of defragmentation success, failure or delay due
to resource usage

What's New in SQL defrag manager 2.0
New options for managing defragmentation
- Support for new SQL Server 2005/2008 defragmentation
options
- Online Re-index (for SQL Server Enterprise Edition)
- Sort in tempdb
- Trigger defragmentation based on either
fragmentation percentage or scan density
- Prioritize defragmentation processes based on
fragmentation level, page density, or index size
- Limit the number of defrag operations to the “top x”
worst indexes
- Customize remediation actions based on index size
- Define a “Hard Stop” Time so defrag operations will
not run past scheduled intervals
- Customize frequency of defragmentation analysis to keep data up to date without wasting server resources
Policy-based Automation/Scheduling
- Defragmentation policies can be applied at the
server, database or index level to apply the same
defragmentation management policy to multiple objects
all at once. Changing the policy changes the
defragmentation approach across all objects
simultaneously
- Policies allow for flexible customization including all of the new defragmentation management options listed above
Auto-Discovery of SQL Server indexes
- As databases, tables and indexes are created or deleted over time, SQL defrag manager automatically adds new objects and drops deleted objects on a daily basis
Remote Repository
- Support installations that use a remote SQL Server repository (from the service)
Built-in reports
- 10+ new built-in reports based on SQL Server Reporting Services
GUI enhancements
- Improved ease of use
