It offers shared, consolidated management of heterogeneous resources from any location, alerts that provide state- and threshold-based notifications about availability and performance in real time, and intelligent tools for spotting performance and usage trends, all via a thin-client, rich Internet application delivered through your Web browser.

Use SAP Control Center to track a variety of performance metrics, gathering statistics that over time will give you powerful insight into patterns of use and the behavior of databases, devices, caches, and processes on your servers. You can display collected data as tables or graphs. By plotting results over any period of time you choose, from a minute to a year, you can both see the big picture and focus on the particulars. Detailed knowledge of how your servers have performed in the past helps you ensure that SAP ASE meets your needs in the future.
