SQL Server Monitoring vs. Compliance: Why DBAs Need Both
Learn why SQL Server monitoring and SQL Server compliance both matter, and how DBAs can balance performance, uptime, security, and audit readiness. When managing SQL Server databases, teams often ask what should take priority: monitoring and uptime, or compliance and security? High availability and performance are critical for business continuity, but failing to meet security and compliance requirements can lead to serious financial, operational, and legal consequences. In this session, Monica Rathbun and the IDERA team explore the balancing act between SQL Server performance monitoring and SQL Server compliance. You’ll see why DBAs and IT teams need a holistic approach that combines proactive monitoring, performance tuning, compliance frameworks, auditing, and security best practices. Topics covered include: Why SQL Server monitoring and compliance both matter How performance, uptime, security, and audit readiness are connected Common trade-offs between availability and compliance Real-world scenarios where uptime and security priorities compete How proactive monitoring helps protect SQL Server performance How compliance auditing supports governance and risk reduction Why DBAs should not have to choose between performance and compliance How to build a more resilient and compliant SQL Server environment Practical strategies for aligning monitoring, tuning, security, and compliance workflows This video is ideal for SQL Server DBAs, database administrators, IT managers, security teams, compliance teams, database engineers, and anyone responsible for SQL Server performance, uptime, auditing, or regulatory requirements. Watch this session to learn how to balance SQL Server monitoring and compliance without sacrificing one critical database responsibility for the other.
