Need regular help taking care of your SQL Servers?
This is the better fit when SQL Server needs review every month, not one isolated fix. It can include backups, SQL Agent jobs, monitoring, performance, recovery checks, and planned changes.

SQL Serverservices
I offer different SQL Server services for different needs: monthly DBA support for regular attention, focused reviews for known problems, and consulting when the situation is broader.
I check backups, jobs, monitoring, performance issues, recovery plans, upgrade work, and the current setup around production SQL Server.
Backups, SQL Agent jobs, and monitoring only get checked after something breaks.
Performance issues keep coming back, but nobody has time to review waits, plans, and indexes properly.
Restore testing, patching, and planned changes stay on the list because daily work always wins.

Scope, first month, included work groups, and alternatives.
Already know which SQL Server problem needs attention?
These pages fit when the work is clearly an audit, a performance diagnosis, an upgrade, or a recovery check.
Environment review
SQL Server health audit
Practical review for older SQL Server environments, weak ownership, and systems that need a clear first pass.
- A practical findings list tied to production risk.
- Clear next steps instead of one large generic tuning bucket.
Performance
SQL Server performance review
Performance and concurrency review for blocking, deadlocks, broad slowness, and unstable workload behavior.
- A review order that focuses on the actual blockers.
- Workload-specific review of access paths, transactions, and timing.
Recovery
SQL Server recovery readiness
Backup, restore, and DR review for companies that do not want recovery planning to stay theoretical.
- Restore and DR gaps tied to business risk.
- A realistic sequence for fixing backup and recovery weaknesses.
Upgrade
SQL Server upgrade support
Upgrade and rollout support for version changes that need readiness review, rollback thinking, and calmer execution.
- Readiness review grounded in the actual environment.
- Clearer rollout and rollback thinking before the window opens.
