Maintaining a good and healthy database backups is our #1 priority. SQLOPS DBA Services ensures a solid backup and restore strategy to handle any adverse or unexpected events. While the standard out-of-the-box database backups are sufficient, we go an extra mile to ensure that your backups run faster, lighter, are compressed, and are successfully restorable. SQLOPS will not only automate a solid strategy for database backups and restores but would also document the strategy along with the steps

We take security extremely seriously. Our partners call us super-extra-cautious. We ensure that the access is controlled and granted to only those that are explicitly approved. We help with encrypting specific attributes or the entire dataset to ensure sensitive data is not compromised in any way. We go an extra-mile in helping manage server-level security as well.

With proactive monitoring, we got our eyes and ears into the behavior and performance of your production environment. We feel proud when we help solve performance issues for your database. We are 24×7 looking for ways to identify performance opportunities from the databases. SQLOPS team is extremely talented and capable to handle and address any performance issues.

If you can’t measure, you can’t manage. We are a huge “Back to the future” fan and apply the same logic when working with any databases. We measure the capacity usage including the storage, memory, compute, connections, log, and more to ensure we are able to scale the production databases proactively and avoid any outage or business interruptions.

While we ensure that the database is highly available, we also ensure that in the unforeseen events, the databases is disaster recoverable across any geography. SQLOPS engineers will ensure that in the event of a disaster, your database is brought up and made accessible in as quickly as possible within SLAs defined.

We go the whole nine yards. If your company hasn’t implemented any change management tool or release pipelines, we assist you with change management process by building a workflow around it. SQLOPS team would be available 24×7 to assist your team with any change management requests for production environments.

We ensure that connectivity to the databases is accurately configured when connecting via an application, SQL Server, or any other ODBC connections. SQLOPS team will be standing by to assist any user that runs in to connectivity issues and assist them with SQL Server connectivity issues.

As part of storage management, we ensure that the storage is properly configured, allocated, partitioned and managed. At SQLOPS, we are light-weight problem embedded in the health dashboard that would alert us based on the % of storage available.

Whether it’s a job failure, process blocking, package failure or simply that a process is taking longer than normal. We configure light-weight alerts management system that would allow us to alert important events to our support team or your team based on the severity of the incident. Our alerts go beyond the traditional email and pager systems.

Agent jobs are important and a single failure could impact the stability of your production databases. At SQLOPS, as part of proactive monitoring, we help categorize and monitor every single SQL Server Agent job and ensure that any failures or delays are investigated and reported. In many cases, based on available TSG’s (Troubleshoting Guides) we can also take corrective action.
