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.
