May 2011 Summaries

PagerDuty has announced a partnership with Red Gate Software, integrating Red Gate's SQL Monitor with PagerDuty's alerting system to enhance database monitoring and incident management for SQL Server databases. This collaboration allows SQL Monitor users to receive alerts through various channels such as phone calls, SMS, or email, and to utilize PagerDuty’s features like automatic alert escalation and incident tracking. The integration simplifies the setup process by enabling SQL Monitor alerts to be forwarded to a PagerDuty-provided email address, where they are intelligently parsed to trigger or resolve incidents based on the severity of database issues. This partnership not only strengthens the functionality of SQL Monitor by providing comprehensive monitoring and reporting but also improves the efficiency of support teams by offering tools for fair on-call duty scheduling.

PagerDuty is seeking to expand its team, inviting individuals interested in transforming the IT operations software industry to apply for positions at their dynamic 5-person startup. The company offers opportunities to work on a product that has already demonstrated market success and serves a diverse clientele, including both startups and Fortune 500 companies. Potential applicants can find job postings and further information on their website.
