What we fix

Is anyone actually watching your SQL Servers?

These are the problems that turn into outages and lost data when nobody owns the database.

Backups that have never been restored

A backup job that reports success is not a restore. We restore your backups every week and tell you if one fails.

Nobody reviewing security

Failed logins, orphaned users, and over-broad permissions pile up quietly. We check them every week and fix what we find.

Slow queries and blocking

Missing indexes, stale statistics, and deadlocks slow your applications down. We find the cause and tune it.

Maintenance jobs that quietly stopped

Integrity checks and index maintenance can fail for months before anyone notices. We watch them and keep them running.

Patches falling behind

Missing service packs and cumulative updates leave known bugs and security holes open. We keep your instances current.

SQL Server is nobody’s main job

Your developers or IT team cover the database on top of everything else. We take it off their plate.

Free 30-minute review

A call with a senior DBA. Walk us through your setup and leave with a short list of the risks we would fix first. No access to your servers needed, and no account to create.

Pick a time

Free health check

We check one SQL Server instance for backup, integrity, security, and maintenance problems, and send you a written report of what we found. Read-only: we change nothing on your server.

How we work

You see everything we do on your servers

1

Free review

A 30-minute call or a free health check on one instance, so you see our work before you pay for anything.

2

Secure access, your way

We connect the way your IT team prefers, such as a VPN, a jump host, or remote desktop. You control that access and can remove it at any time.

3

Weekly checks and test restores

Every week we check each instance and restore its backups, then send you a report of what we found and what we did.

4

Fixed price, fixed term

One monthly price per instance on a 3, 6, or 12-month plan. Plans do not auto-renew.
