Case Study · Distributed Replay Migration
Saved a Professional Services Firm $117,654 a Year by Right-Sizing Their SQL Server Infrastructure
A professional services firm was paying for 16 CPU cores of SQL Server Enterprise licenses they weren't using — both Azure servers were averaging under 10% CPU utilization. The real bottleneck was 500-IOPS Standard SSD storage. Red9 cut compute from 16 to 8 cores per server and upgraded storage to Premium SSD with up to 10× the throughput. Result: better performance at lower cost, $117,654 saved in year one.

Red9 Boosts Database Performance and Refines SQL Hiring, Transforming Our Tech Operations
The team made major performance improvements to several database servers based on Red9's work/research. They were also instrumental in refining our interviewing process for SQL candidates.
No More Daily Reboots
Update on daily reboots. We stopped reboot last weekend and we didn't face any issues. We're going to stop daily reboots tomorrow (Friday) as well and monitor weekday status.
Extremely Helpful
Red9 provided a DBA who was an expert, accurate, extremely helpful, and we could not say enough positive things about their level of skill and ability to understand the issues at hand and explain both at a high level and with intricate attention to detail. Will definitely hire again.

FAQ
SQL Server Consulting and Support in New York
Do you work with companies across all five boroughs?
Yes. We serve organizations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as northern New Jersey, Westchester, and Long Island. All of our work is done remotely, so location within the metro area doesn't affect response time or service quality.
Can you work within our compliance requirements?
We work with financial services firms under SEC and FINRA requirements, healthcare organizations under HIPAA, and other regulated industries. We follow your security protocols, use encrypted connections, and work within whatever access controls your compliance team requires.
What if we already have a DBA but need specialized help?
Many of our New York clients have in-house database staff. We work alongside your team for specific projects like performance tuning, migrations, or assessments. We're not trying to replace your people; we fill gaps in SQL Server expertise that generalist DBAs may not cover.
How fast can you respond to an emergency?
Our average response time across all clients is 7.3 minutes. For critical production issues, we respond within the hour. We've handled emergencies for trading floors where every minute of downtime has a measurable dollar cost.
Do you support Azure SQL and cloud environments?
Yes. We support on-premises SQL Server, Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, and hybrid configurations. Many of our New York clients are in the middle of cloud migrations and need help managing both environments during the transition.
What does a typical engagement look like?
Most clients start with a free 110-point assessment. From there, some move to a consulting block for a specific project (migration, performance tuning, security audit) and others sign up for ongoing managed services. The assessment gives both of us a clear picture of what your environment needs.
Can I run the SQL Server checks myself instead of booking a call?
Yes. If you'd rather run things yourself, you can use our free SQL Server Health Check tool — it covers the same 110 points and you keep the report. Most teams still book a call afterward to talk through the findings, but there's no pressure to.
New York Metro Service Area
Red9 serves the entire NYC metro and the broader tri-state region, from Manhattan and the outer boroughs out to Long Island, Westchester, and the New Jersey side of the Hudson. Same senior DBA on the call whether your stack is on Wall Street, in Williamsburg, or across the river in Hoboken.
- Manhattan · Brooklyn · Queens · The Bronx · Staten Island
- Wall Street / FiDi · Midtown · SoHo · Chelsea (business districts)
- Jersey City · Hoboken · Newark (NJ side)
- White Plains · Yonkers · Long Island · Westchester (NY suburbs)
Most tri-state engagements run remotely over VPN and RDP, with bank-grade security on top of yours. Response stays fast, and on-site visits are available across the metro when it adds value.
