In addition to Hyper-V support, the enhancements to SQL Diagnostic Manager include advanced monitoring and alerting that allows users to define specific alert responses that are triggered after multiple user defined key metric thresholds have been breached; and a tech preview of the new SQL Diagnostic Manager console which provides non-DBAs with quick access to the overall health and status of the SQL Server environment from any browser.
New Features SQL Safe Backup
Enhancements to SQL Safe Backup enable recognition of which AlwaysOn Availability Group replica is defined as the preferred replica in SQL Server to apply that backup; support for SQL Server Express featuring backup, restore and log shipping polices for SQL Server Express Edition, and support for SQL Safe repository; and centralized multi-instance licensing enhances users ability to deploy SQL Safe in large enterprise environments.

And finally new capabilities in SQL Compliance Manager allow users to schedule automated repository archives and more efficiently manage their systems; a Compliance Configuration Wizard providing step-by-step help for attaining SQL compliance; and SNMP alert notifications when critical SQL Server events occur.
