At Britec we have seen a concerning increase in improperly maintained databases

Typically, SQL hosts all of your critical business data in some form, it is one of the first things our team audits when working with new clientele.

Proper SQL maintenance on your business databases has multiple positive impacts on everything from security to business performance.

Worst & Best Case Scenarios

Here are some more details on why this is something to be taken seriously.

With an ongoing SQL Administration your application performance will both be consistent and fast!

A properly maintained SQL server benefits from an overall improvement to application performance for any apps and services that use the SQL.

Britec knows that time = money. Your entire team relies on software, which in-turn depend on SQL Databases. Improved performance creates efficiencies across your entire business.

Without functional SQL backups, customers won’t be able to recover from a disaster.

Here are some real examples Britec has come in to fix:

  • Britec was brought in to assist in a disaster recovery when the company realized that the SQL backups were not working. A small problem quickly became a big problem.
  • In a separate project, Britec was brought in to fix application-performance related. Britec discovered that the SQL server was failing and needed to be completely rebuilt.

While just two examples, both instances could have been prevented by proper processes surrounding SQL Administration (and save 5-figures $$$).

Here is how Britec approaches SQL Administration:

  • MS-SQL Database Tuning

  • Service Packs & Cumulative Updates

  • Validation of Nightly Backups

  • Regular Maintenance Routines

  • Check + Adjustment of Configuration Settings

  • Database(s) Health & Performance Monitoring

  • Vigilant Security Monitoring

  • Monitoring of Database Sizes

  • Reindexing Databases

What are the benefits of SQL Administration for business databases?

  1. Improve database throughput & performance.
  2. HDD Space/Storage management (SQL logs grow overtime, trimming them on a set schedule ensures that they are not taking too much space on your HDD)
  3. Disaster recovery (should dataloss, ransomware or other issues occur).
  4. Reduce the likelihood of logical data errors.
  5. Maintain the overall heath of the database.
  6. Report any inconsistencies within the database systems.
  7. Ensuring the SQL Server software is patched with latest security updates.
