SQL Server Health Checks

Identify Mis-configurations and Problem Conditions before the Impact your Business.

Misconfigured SQL servers can have a significant impact on the performance, reliability, availability and recoverability of your business’ core database infrastructure. Given the high cost of SQL Server licensing, it’s always impressed us to find how many businesses fail to properly configure SQL Server to maximise the return on their investment!

Our SQL Server Health Check service conducts a detailed review of your SQL Server infrastructure, akin to a Microsoft SQL RAP (although we’d argue ours is even more detailed), which looks at everything from the hardware layer including disks, CPU, memory and network, up through the OS configuration and into SQL Server itself and even into specific problem databases.

For clients who have elected to perform our SQL Health check as part of our Managed SQL Server on boarding process, we’ll also incorporate remediation activities as part of our health check.

DBA Services do what they say they will: they look after your SQL databases. They do it in an unfussy way. They are bold enough to be decisive but respectful enough to consult you as needs must. They are a key component of our IT strategy.

He was particularly knowledgeable in monitoring, maintenance and diagnostic work. As demand for the system grew, Sia helped to scale the DB infrastructure to provide best performance. I would strongly recommend Sia to anyone seeking someone with excellent DBA skills, up to and including enterprise-level infrastructure.

We engaged DBA Services to assist us with our PCI Compliance. Sia and his team provided excellent service, pitched directly to our needs in a timely fashion and at a competitive price. There really isn't anything else I could have asked from them.

His willingness to help us where he could was greatly appreciated and we'll be going back as a result
