SQL Server index defragmentation and performance management tool for centralized index maintenance.
Vendor
Idera
SQL Defrag Manager is a SQL Server management solution designed to monitor, manage, and automate index defragmentation across multiple SQL Server environments. It provides centralized visibility into index fragmentation levels and enables automated maintenance to help maintain database performance. The solution identifies fragmented indexes and applies corrective actions such as reorganizing or rebuilding indexes based on configurable thresholds and policies. It supports scheduled execution of maintenance tasks to reduce administrative effort and minimize operational disruption. SQL Defrag Manager is intended for database administrators who require structured, policy-driven index maintenance across distributed SQL Server infrastructures. It operates within existing SQL Server environments and focuses on maintaining index health to support stable query performance.
