Why do you need a SQL Server health check?

1. Increase the SQL Server database performance

Do you experience performance issues with your data-driven applications? Are your ETL jobs or BI reports stuck in a bottleneck?

The typical reasons behind that include unoptimized queries, default configuration settings for your ever-growing database landscape, lack of indexes, many parallel queries, or even a weak database architecture. The ABCloudz experts have proven hands-on experience with optimizing complex SQL Server database systems and applications.

After running the SQL Server performance check, the ABCloudz team provides you with a detailed performance report. We can prioritize these discovered issues and provide you with resources for their expert resolution. Our solution architects can go even further and come up with a modernization roadmap, which shows a path to move your system to the cloud.

2. Address security issues and vulnerabilities

Are you sure that your SQL Server databases store customer's sensitive data safely and according to the latest industry standards and compliance regulations?

You can rely on ABCloudz certified professionals to run a rigorous security check, which will help discover the existing security vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and issues. By comparing your SQL Server settings and parameters to modern security best practices and standards, we provide your team with a comprehensive list of discovered issues.

The trusted ABCloudz team can then address these issues or work with your database administrators or security officers to help fix them. Finally, you will be sure that both your SQL Server database and the applications store, transfer, and manage data according to the established organization’s security policies.

3. Improve your backup and failover strategy

Have you tested your database failover solution? Do you know how long it takes to restore your system after a failure?

Our team of certified SQL Server professionals helped hundreds of our customers build SQL Server failover solutions. Over the years, we’ve established a proven approach, which allows for creating an exemplary failover solution without sacrificing the performance and without breaking your bank. And by running a SQL Server backup and disaster recovery check, we can optimize your backups, improve their reliability, and develop a more cost-effective solution.

At the same time, our solution architects may design an alternative failover solution for you by leveraging the best cloud services.

How it works

Up until SQL Server 2012, you could rely on the Microsoft SQL Server Best Practices Analyzer to identify potential issues with your SQL Server deployments. Now, Microsoft stopped releasing the tool. Therefore, you need a reliable partner to run a thorough SQL Server health check.

We at ABCloudz have established a set of golden rules and best practices, which help look at your SQL Server databases and applications from different angles. For example, we usually start with performance and security checks and then continue with improving your failover strategy and backup approaches.

Our basic SQL Server health check gathers data from your environment for at least 24 hours. Usually, this allows for understanding the critical issues and finding a way to address them. However, setting up long-term monitoring for a month helps get a better understanding of what is going on inside your SQL Server database system.

After this initial analysis, we provide you with a comprehensive report that covers discovered issues and includes suggestions on how to address them. What makes ABCloudz different from other service companies is that we provide you with human resources to address these discovered issues.
