GAIN PROFESSIONAL INSIGHT ABOUT YOUR DATABASE HEALTH & PERFORMANCE
With frequent new releases of database updates and patches, it is easy to fall behind. Keeping up with new versions and service packs are critical to database security and performance, but there are many other factors that affect a database’s performance and overall health.
1. Discovery and Data Collection
During a database health check, our DBA architects perform a comprehensive analysis of your database environment. They start by meeting with your team to discuss and understand your database environment as well as your issues and concerns. Databases are used for different purposes and it’s important for our DBA architects to understand the technical aspects as well as the business purpose of a database. We then run a health check that collects over 200 data points on various levels: server, operating system, instances and databases.
2. Health Assessment
Our database experts analyze the information collected and compare it to industry standards and best practices. The findings are scored, prioritized and detailed in a report with actionable remediation recommendations.
3. Report & Review
We review each of the findings and recommendations in the report with your team gathering additional insights and feedback, providing you with a detailed report as well as implementation recommendations.
