Red9 DBAs have audited 10,000+ SQL Server databases. They all had performance, security, or configuration issues.
Schedule Your SQL Server Health Check ➜A SQL Server–focused firm staffed by senior database experts.
Many SQL Server environments appear to be running normally while underlying issues quietly degrade performance, reliability, and security.
These problems often remain undetected until they cause:
Red9 helps organizations identify and resolve these issues before they become critical incidents.
Find what's wrong with your SQL Server, and what to fix first. Run 145 read-only checks and get one prioritized report in under 30 minutes.
It runs against live production with zero writes, ever, and nothing gets installed on your server.
The same 145 checks Red9's SQL Server experts run on client estates every week.
Point it at your server and read the report. No consultant to book and nothing to schedule.
The same 145 checks have surfaced these patterns across 10,000+ SQL Server audits. Each one is easy to detect and hard to fix alone:
Slow queries impacting application performance and end-user experience, often invisible to standard monitoring tools.
Indexing gaps that force unnecessary full table scans and drive up query cost and response times.
Memory and storage configuration issues that silently limit throughput and inflate infrastructure costs.
Access control and permission settings that expose sensitive data to unnecessary risk.
Backup and disaster recovery gaps that would fail under real-world outage conditions.
High-availability configurations that appear healthy but would fail during an actual production outage.
Running the check takes 30 minutes. Acting on 40 findings is where teams get stuck — that's the part Red9 does for a living.
Every card is a real production engagement, benchmarked before and after on the client's own workload. Client names stay under NDA. The numbers are exact.
