SQL defrag manager is the only SQL Server defragmentation solution in the industry that automates the time-consuming process of pinpointing fragmentation "hot spots" and takes action to defragment indexes automatically or on demand.

Powerful, automated, defragmentation management

Flexible, customizable control of defragmentation: defrag processes can be triggered by fragmentation percentage or scan density, and prioritized based on fragmentation level, scan density, or index size. Additionally, defrag operations can be limited to the “top x” worst indexes, or by a “hard stop” time.
Policy-based management: 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.
Index management: SQL defrag manager allows you to specify how much free space via the fill factor setting ,SQL Server should leave on an index page to limit page splitting and shifting. This helps you to decrease the frequency of your index rebuilds and improve the performance and availability of your SQL server applications. Additionally, you can view the history of the index fragmentation with the fill factor changes made over time through the graphical user interface.
Centralized Management: The SQL defrag manager management console provides a real-time window into fragmentation levels, and the ability to view and manage defragmentation activity across hundreds of servers and thousands of databases.
Comprehensive Reporting: SQL defrag manager provides comprehensive reporting of analysis and defragmentation activity, giving DBAs and managers the information they need to ensure that database performance is continuously optimized.
Proactive System Resource checking: Ascertains the utilization of key system resources prior to executing the defragmentation utility. If the metric is at a customer defined threshold, the execution of the defrag operation will be either be delayed, prevented or run as scheduled.
Email Notification: provides an early warning system to the database administrator. If the resource check detects that a user defined threshold has been exceeded prior to executing the utility, an email alert is sent to the DBA. When the defrag job is completed normally, the DBA is notified.
Detailed Metrics: includes information such as fragmentation percentage, index and table size, free bytes, page density, rate of fragmentation increase, defragmentation methods and post-run results, and time to execute.






“SQL defrag manager makes defragmenting SQL Server a breeze. It constantly analyzes SQL Server indexes and fragmentation levels, and only defragments the indexes that really need it. This is not only a huge time savings, it also defragments during the slow times – usually when I’m asleep!”
--John Burris, DBA, DMAC

“SQL defrag manager makes it very easy to monitor fragmentation and schedule defragmentation across all of the SQL Servers in our enterprise. Now that we have SQL defrag manager implemented, we have come to rely on it as a safer and quicker defragmentation process over manual fragmentation analysis.”
-- Rick Manderville, Database Support Manager, New Mexico Department Of Health
