Performance Optimization
Enhance your database’s speed and efficiency. This includes identifying slow processes, optimizing SQL queries, designing and managing indexes for faster data retrieval, and adjusting database settings and architecture for optimal performance.
High Availability and Disaster Recovery
Ensure high availability and robust disaster recovery for your SQL Server databases by implementing various strategies such as Always On Availability Groups for minimal downtime, log shipping for reliable disaster recovery, failover clustering to automatically shift to a standby server during a failure, and data replication to synchronize data across different servers, enhancing overall availability and fault tolerance.
SQL Server Health Checks
Get a clear, comprehensive assessment of your SQL Server environment. Our SQL audits identify potential risks, performance bottlenecks, and opportunities for improvement, identifying where best practices aren’t there, and ensuring your systems are running at their best.
Migrations and Upgrades
With minimal downtime, migrate or upgrade your SQL Server databases to newer versions or cloud platforms like Azure or AWS. We manage version upgrades, cloud migrations, and cross-platform transitions.
Backup and Recovery Planning
We develop and implement comprehensive backup strategies tailored to safeguard your data. Our services include thorough recovery testing to ensure that, in the event of a failure, data can be restored swiftly and reliably. To further protect against ransomware, we establish a multi-layered backup approach with three backup destinations, one of which is configured as a one-way, write-only backup. This secure setup ensures that critical backups remain intact, safe from modification or deletion by ransomware threats.
Database Design and Architecture
Design optimized database schemas, create data models aligned with business goals and balance normalization and denormalization for optimal performance and flexibility.
Security and Compliance
Enhance security and compliance with data encryption to protect sensitive information and meet regulatory standards. Implement robust access controls and conduct audits to ensure adherence to industry regulations.
SQL Server Development
We develop custom stored procedures and functions to automate essential tasks and enhance operational efficiency. Our expertise extends to designing and implementing robust ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes, ensuring seamless data integration through tools like SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). Additionally, we create tailored reporting and analytics solutions to deliver actionable business insights, empowering your team to make informed decisions based on real-time data.
