Experience Shared by Our Clients
Our clients value us for delivering exceptional results, responsive service, and unmatched expertise. Here’s what our clients have shared:
Impressed with the responsiveness and professionalism
We initially engaged Red9 to troubleshoot a series of aging SQL databases that had slowed to a crawl and become a major pain point for our client. Red9 dove in headfirst, optimizing the databases, auditing the results, and – once the situation was stable – advising on a strategy for moving forward.
Before taking on the first job, Red9 talked us through the issues we were experiencing to ensure they were the right fit. It was clear from that initial project that they are incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. Beyond the technical expertise of Red9’s DBAs, I’ve been – and continue to be – impressed by the responsiveness and professionalism we’ve come to rely on.

Lerner Solutions
60% decrease in CPU
On an urgent SQL issue, Red9 DBAs did a great job. Our customer (AllAware.com) moved their SQL environment from a rack solution with Fiber SAN to the Azure cloud. This exposed wasteful I/O practices in their SQL environment. With little notice, Red9 found and fixed various SQL misconfigurations and wasteful practices. After a weekend of work, the customer saw a 60% decrease in CPU utilization as a direct result of Red9’s efforts.

Even under 5,000+ concurrent connections, Red9 keeps us running smooth
Red9 are experts in large scale MS SQL Database environments exceeding 5,000+ concurrent connections. They understand complex, heavy load TSQL transactions. Red9 knows how to maintain high standards in tuning, database structure, indexes, stored procedures, best practices, up-time, and smooth performance. If you want to sleep better at night knowing your database will run well, I recommend Red9.

Highly regarded SQL database expertise
It has been a great pleasure working with Red9. From the get-go I could tell Red9 SQL DBAs knew what they were talking about, and put my mind at ease. We will be using Red9 going forward for everything database related. I would highly recommend Red9.
Mike Kennedy

Always willing and able to resolve our issues
We don’t have an in-house database administrator – Red9 is our DBA now! Reliability and knowledge – Red9 is very knowledgeable about SQL and was able to put a project together for us in a very short amount of time. When we need any assistance, they are always willing and able to resolve our issues within a reasonable time! I am not sure you will find anyone else who can perform as well as Red9! I don’t think there’s anything they cannot handle from a SQL perspective.

Significant performance improvement in minutes
In just a few minutes, Red9 was able to find significant performance improvement opportunities in our database. These improvements were in areas we hadn’t even considered. Red9 came up with many ideas; just the top 2 to 3 were enough to give us a significant performance boost. Red9 DBAs have extensive knowledge when it comes to SQL Server. I can’t imagine there is anything they don’t know. We plan to continue to work with Red9 on a regular basis and continue to enjoy the benefits of their knowledge.

Fixed in 30 min, what others could not do in 3 weeks
Red9 is UNBELIEVABLE! We had a server connection issue for over 3 weeks. Two so-called professionals couldn’t solve it. We hired Red9, and within ONE HOUR, they identified the problem, advised us on the Server Hosting company, and within 30 minutes, we had access to the crucial data we needed. Anyone looking for a TRUE professional for SQL or SQL Server, look no further; Red9 is the company you want and need!

The biggest benefit has been performance gains and tuning from migrating to AWS and a newer version of SQL Server with Always On clustering. Red9 was integral to this process. Red9’s expertise in SQL migration and performance tuning, combined with their deep MSSQL knowledge, has been a huge asset. Their flexibility and professionalism during a difficult migration were highly appreciated. If you’re unsure about choosing Red9 as your SQL Server Support firm, set up a call with one of their experts for a performance assessment. Red9 identified inefficient indexes and bottlenecks, resulting in a 400% improvement in latency.

Reliable partner around SQL
We have worked with Red9 on and off for several months now. They helped us prepare for a SQL upgrade, reviewed our backup and recovery approach, and tuned a few reporting queries that had been slow for years. Nothing dramatic happened, which is exactly what I want from a database perspective. Things run, people do their jobs, and if something looks off, Red9 is there to take a look.
Jason F.
Director of IT Operations

Red9 was involved in large SQL server projects. They designed the Microsoft SQL Server Clustering and Disaster Recovery Real-Time solution, optimized stored procedures, and quickly fixed critical performance bugs. Red9 also set up monitoring for all our servers with a new tool. Their senior DBAs managed multiple SQL servers and could quickly troubleshoot issues, often beyond the scope of SQL. Red9 provided dedicated support during every critical incident.

Sebastian R.
DBA Manager
Made a noticeable difference
We brought Red9 in after a spike in CPU and random timeouts that kept popping up during peak hours. They reviewed how our database was configured, looked at the problem queries, and suggested a set of focused changes that our team implemented the same week. After that, the workload settled down and users stopped reporting delays. It felt less like a big “project” and more like having someone experienced quietly tune things until they just worked. Very impressed with how straightforward the whole thing was!
Caleb R.
Director of Infrastructure and Operations
Our go to SQL people
We asked Red9 to look at some inconsistent performance we were seeing on our main SQL Server… nothing catastrophic, just slow enough that people started asking questions. They walked through our setup, pointed out a few indexing gaps and some config choices that weren’t helping us, and after they fixed those, things stabilized. What I appreciated most is they explained the why behind each change, so I could relay it to my team without guessing.
Darren K.
Chief Technical Officer (CTO)
Exceptional skill, patience, and communication for fast problem solving
Red9 DBAs are incredibly skilled at what they do. Our DBA was pretty patient and he was good about staying in communication. He knew that we were anxious to get the problem solved and he was able to do that.

Thank you
Thank you for checking into this and fixing it for us.
Audrey T.
User Experience Manager
Quite happy!
I am (we all are) quite happy with results we are having today. Once again you have saved us from a potentially huge crisis. We believe our internal app has some serious problems and this has been happening for a very long time. We lacked monitoring, had less of a load, our SQL Server load has doubled, and had far fewer employees earlier this year and small outages were not as much as a concern back then as they are now. The combination of a steady increase in SQL load and record counts, yesterday was a breaking point.
Joshua K.
Sr. Database Administrator
Red9 is the go-to for SQL Server performance solutions
I highly recommend Red9 DBA as a SQL Server DBA. Red9 worked for us on a project for several months. Upon kicking off the project, Red9 was able to quickly identify and fix several SQL performance issues we had been struggling to trace for several weeks. Additionally, they made several other recommendations and configuration changes that had a significant positive impact on database performance. I will absolutely use Red9 again in the future and would recommend it to anyone looking for a strong SQL DBA.

Camila N.

Red9’s expertise ends midnight alerts: seamless performance and automation achieved
Red9 implemented a project internally named “The NOT waking up the DBA’s”. The result is – great. As I was one of them. Also wanted to mention the work with analytics team and the analysis servers to get the indexes tweaked and the performance tuned. Red9 has automated log shipping file pulls and pushes. Reduced IO load on PROD. Now process runs solid. When in the past this process used to break once or twice per week and wake the DBAs up.

If you’re running MS SQL Server, do yourself a favor and give the Red9 team a call!
These folks are MS SQL Server experts! They took on the management of five of our servers — quickly assessing their current state, recommending (and then implementing) a holistic range of best practices, and continuing to provide proactive monitoring and ongoing optimizations. Our system availability improved, our system speed improved, our security improved, and — perhaps just as importantly — my sleep at night improved knowing the Red9 team was taking care of the database servers.
Lexton R.
Vice President, Platform Engineering
The Red9 SQL DBA team is outstanding at what they do.

The single biggest benefit was Red9’s ability to identify and resolve major pain points
Before Red9, we faced major performance bottlenecks with our main business application, and our provider couldn’t resolve the issues. Without an in-house SQL Server expert, we couldn’t determine the cause. Red9 identified our difficulties, pinpointed needed resolutions, and joined a call with our app developer to address the issues. The biggest benefit of working with Red9 was their ability to resolve major pain points quickly and effectively. We are confident Red9 will be a long-term partner for our business.
Lucas L.
