DBA On-Call Coverage

Full-Spectrum SQL Server
Engineering

From a 40-second report query to a zero-downtime migration to Azure SQL MI - we've seen it, fixed it, and documented the runbook.

Performance Tuning

Query plan dissection, missing index identification, wait-stat analysis, TempDB sizing, and execution plan cache optimization.

High Availability & DR

Always On AG design, Failover Cluster Instance, log shipping, distributed availability groups (since SQL Server 2016), and contained availability groups (new in SQL Server 2022) - tested failover under 30 seconds.

Replication & AG Setup

Synchronous and asynchronous Always On replicas, distributed AGs, readable secondaries for reporting offload, and peer-to-peer transactional replication with conflict detection.

Cloud Migration

Zero-downtime lifts to Azure SQL, AWS RDS, and Azure SQL Managed Instance with Azure Migrate compatibility assessment and validated rollback plans.

Managed DBA Service

Ongoing operations - proactive monitoring, maintenance, and incident response - delivered by our dedicated Remote DBA and SQL Server Support teams.

Security & Compliance

TDE, Row-Level Security, Dynamic Data Masking, SQL auditing, and hardening for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001.

From Slow to Blazing Fast
in Days, Not Months

We don't just suggest improvements - we implement them. Our systematic approach to SQL Server performance has delivered an average 4X speed gain across 80+ production deployments.

Wait-stats triage: CXPACKET, PAGEIOLATCH, SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD
Execution plan dissection, Query Store plan forcing, and missing index analysis
Extended Events session design for zero-overhead production tracing

Always On Availability Groups design, implementation, and quarterly failover drills

Move to Azure SQL
Without the Downtime

SQL Server migrations fail when the runbook is written on the day. We run Azure Migrate compatibility assessments weeks before cutover, resolve every blocking issue, then execute via Always On AG log-chain sync - sub-30-second application pause, pre-validated rollback at every step.

When Production
Goes Down

Reactive 24/7 incident response - on-call DBAs, SLA tiers, and a battle-tested runbook from first alert to root-cause fix - is the focus of our dedicated SQL Server Support service.

Incident ownership

Not Just DBAs. SQL Server SREs.

We tie every engagement to measurable SLOs. Quarterly failover drills, automated health baselines, and post-incident reports with prevention plans are standard - not upsells.

Certified Expertise

MCM and MCDBA-certified engineers with 10+ years in enterprise SQL Server environments.

Systematic Tuning Framework

Wait-stat analysis, execution plan dissection, and Query Store plan forcing - not guesswork. Median OLTP query response improvement across engagements: 4X.

99.99% Uptime SLA

We design HA architectures - not just set them up. Quarterly failover drills, health-policy tuning, and error budget tracking are standard, not upsells.

15-Minute P1 SLA

Contractual P1 < 15 min, P2 < 1 hour, backed by on-call rotation and a battle-tested runbook - detailed on our SQL Server Support service.

Cloud-Native & Hybrid

Azure SQL MI, Azure SQL DB, SQL on Azure VMs, AWS RDS, and Kubernetes-based SQL Server - we architect for the deployment model your workload actually needs.

Compliance-First Mindset

Every engagement includes a security baseline review aligned to SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS.
