Discover what clients are saying about Red9
Red9 has incredible expertise both in SQL migration and performance tuning.
The biggest benefit has been performance gains and tuning associated with migrating to AWS and a newer version of SQL Server with Always On clustering. Red9 was integral to this process. The deep knowledge of MSSQL and combined experience of Red9 have been a huge asset during a difficult migration. Red9 found inefficient indexes and performance bottlenecks that improved latency by over 400%.
