Microsoft SQL Server

SQL Server underpins most line-of-business applications a company runs. Its licensing is per core and expensive, its backups are often misunderstood, and its performance problems are usually indexes and memory rather than hardware.

We install and tune SQL Server, set up Always On for high availability, fix backup chains and recovery models, and right-size licensing.

How we work

Windows Server work follows the roles, not the boxes. Domain controllers, file servers, application servers, RDS and SQL each have their own migration path, and we plan them separately so one cutover does not take everything down. New servers are built from a hardened template with patching, monitoring and backup agents from day one.

Every version has a support date and we track them for you: what is in mainstream support, what is extended, what needs Extended Security Updates and what must move now. Licensing is reviewed at the same time so a refresh does not turn into an audit problem.

Hyper-V, Active Directory, RDS, Exchange and SQL Server are supported as first-class roles, with hardening baselines and documentation handed over at the end of every project.
