Microsoft Server Performance Advisor (SPA) 3.0 helps IT administrators collect metrics to identify, compare, and diagnose potential performance issues in deployments of Windows Server 8 Beta, Windows Server 2008 R2, or Windows Server 2008. SPA generates comprehensive diagnostic reports and charts and provides recommendations to help you quickly analyze issues and develop corrective actions.
SPA 3.0 features an improved interface design, automated data collection, and a consistent SQL data schema. The SPA framework requires Microsoft SQL Server or SQL Express (free version) but does not need to install anything on the servers under test. SPA can be run entirely using freely downloadable software from Microsoft.
This page provides a brief introduction to SPA 3.0 and links to download the SPA 3.0 software and the accompanying user’s manual and development guide.
