Introducing Cloud DBA
Many companies don’t have just one SQL Server but usually more than they realise. The behaviour of is also different in many cases because SQL Server is never a solution by itself, it’s always part of a larger architecture. This makes it hard, if not almost impossible, to have a “one size fits all” kind of way to manage it. Disk throughput and size, CPU needs, etc. can vary significantly and default settings and best practices that work in one situation are not applicable to another. So even if we do happen to use a lot of Powershell to monitor systems, it is not about the technology. We will use our hands-on experience to keep a close look at your systems and tweak, tune and expand our monitoring where needed on a constant basis. You are getting a managed service, not a monitoring tool.
We mostly start with a scan of your whole environment, all of it, not one or two instances. And come up with an actionable plan based on that for the short term. After implementing our data collection and letting it run for a while we can create a roadmap for you. This includes upgrades, migrations, consolidation, tuning efforts, training, etc. We will arrange it for you completely so you don’t have to worry about anything, or we will help your team to be succesful in optimizing your Data Platform landscape.
