Description
This is the Annual Subscription Renewal for SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) for Azure SQL Database. Renewing this license is critical for controlling cloud costs.
DPA helps you identify expensive queries that drive up DTU or vCore consumption. By keeping your subscription active, you ensure your team can continuously tune the database, preventing the need to upgrade to more expensive Azure service tiers.
Why Renew DPA for Azure?
- Cost Control: Continuous tuning prevents "performance creep" that forces you into expensive Azure tiers.
- Cloud Insight: Maintain visibility into Azure-specific metrics like DTU percentage and Data IO.
- Anomaly Detection: Keep the machine learning engine running to spot deviations in query performance instantly.
- Hybrid Support: Manage your cloud and on-prem databases in the same dashboard.
Why Buy From Softech.store?
- ✔ Authorized Distributor: We sell authentic SolarWinds cloud subscriptions.
- ✔ Cloud Savings: We help you ROI-justify the purchase by identifying potential Azure savings.

Trending FAQs: Cloud Database Renewal
Q: Is this for "Azure SQL Database" or "SQL on Azure VM"?
A: This specific license is for the PaaS offering: Azure SQL Database. If you are running a full SQL Server on a virtual machine (IaaS), you should buy the "SQL Server" license instead.
Q: How does DPA connect to Azure?
A: DPA connects just like any other application, using a standard JDBC connection string to your Azure SQL endpoint. You just need to ensure network connectivity (port 1433) from the DPA server.
Q: Can I run DPA itself in Azure?
A: Yes! You can deploy the DPA server software on an Azure Virtual Machine (from the Marketplace) to keep it close to your monitored databases, minimizing latency.
Q: Does it support Azure SQL Managed Instance?
A: Yes, DPA supports Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI). The licensing model is typically per-instance.
