Description
This is the Annual Maintenance Renewal for SolarWinds DPA - Virtualized Edition (Category 2). This license covers standard databases: SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle Standard Edition (SE), and PostgreSQL running on virtual machines.
This renewal is essential for maintaining visibility into the "Application-to-Disk" stack. It includes the VM Option, allowing you to pinpoint whether a slowdown is due to a bad SQL query or a resource-starved Virtual Machine.
Virtualization Admin Review
"We were blaming the network for SQL slowness until DPA showed us the 'VM Co-Stop' was high. We adjusted vCPU allocation and performance doubled instantly."

FAQs: DPA Virtual Renewal
Q: Can I use this for SQL Server on Physical Hardware?
A: Technically yes, the license works, but you are paying for virtualization features you aren't using. You should consider the "Physical" renewal SKU if you have migrated off VMs.
Q: Does this cover Oracle Enterprise Edition (EE)?
A: No. Oracle EE falls under Category 1 (High-End). This SKU is for Category 2 databases.
Q: What happens if I don't renew?
A: You will lose access to support and new features. Crucially, if your vCenter version is upgraded, an unmaintained DPA may lose its connection to virtualization metrics.
