f.a.q

How can you improve our current SQL Server performance?

I conduct a thorough performance analysis, identifying bottlenecks related to indexing, query optimization, I/O, and memory usage. By implementing best practices such as index tuning, partitioning, and optimizing execution plans, I ensure your database runs efficiently under any load.

We don’t have a dedicated database administrator. Can you help us manage our SQL Servers efficiently?

Absolutely. Many companies operate without an in-house DBA, which often leads to performance issues and security risks. I provide managed SQL Server services, covering monitoring, maintenance, and optimization, ensuring your databases remain reliable and secure.

We are planning a SQL Server migration. How do you ensure minimal downtime and data integrity?

I follow a structured migration strategy, including a detailed assessment, proof-of-concept testing, rollback planning, and automation where possible. Using advanced techniques like log shipping, replication or AlwaysOn availability groups, I ensure seamless transitions with as little downtime as possible.

Our databases are growing rapidly. How can we scale effectively without performance degradation?

I analyze your workload patterns and propose tailored scaling strategies, such as horizontal scaling, data partitioning, and indexing optimizations. If needed, I design high-availability and disaster recovery architectures to ensure uninterrupted growth.

We use a mix of on - premises and cloud databases. How can we optimize our hybrid environment?

I help businesses integrate and optimize hybrid SQL Server environments by leveraging cloud benefits while maintaining critical workloads on-prem. This includes implementing Azure SQL Managed Instances, hybrid replication strategies, and cost-effective licensing models

How do you approach disaster recovery and high availability for critical SQL Server databases?

I design robust HA/DR solutions using technologies like Availability Groups, Log Shipping, and Failover Clustering. I also develop and test DR plans regularly, ensuring your business can recover quickly from unexpected failures with minimal data loss.

How can we reduce SQL Server licensing costs without sacrificing performance?

I analyze your workload and usage patterns to identify cost-saving opportunities, such as right-sizing your instances, consolidating servers, or leveraging licensing benefits like Software Assurance. Many of my optimizations have led to significant cost reductions.

Can you train our IT staff or developers to improve their SQL Server skills?

Yes, I offer customized training covering database performance tuning, troubleshooting, security best practices, and efficient database design. These sessions empower your team to handle routine database challenges effectively.

What sets you apart from other SQL Server consultants

With over 15 years of experience managing complex SQL Server environments, I combine deep technical expertise with a strategic, business-focused approach. I don’t just fix issues; I create long-term solutions that align with your business goals, ensuring reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency.

Do you work on-site?

I typically work off-site to ensure efficiency and flexibility. However, under special circumstances, I’m available for on-site meetings to establish collaboration and assess needs. This can be arranged for an adjusted fee, ensuring a tailored approach to your project.
