SQL Server Health Check

Solve Problems. Reduce Risk. Improve Performance.

What is a SQL Server Health Check?

A SQL Server Health Check is a doctor’s visit for your database.  During a Health Check, UpSearch’s Data Estate Advisors evaluates your entire SQL Server environment, from the hardware to the OS, to the database itself.

We collect and analyze key metrics to determine what is healthy and what needs help and provide a complete report including actionable recommendations to help you get the most out of your database environment.

Do you know why your SQL Server is not performing well?

Whether you’re currently experiencing problems in your database, or just want peace of mind knowing that everything checks out, contact UpSearch today to find out how we make SQL Server work for you.

SQL Server Health Check

“The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland engaged UpSearch for an assessment of the SQL environment. The assessment process included staff interviews and system assessments. The assessment work was not only informative but they quickly established missing logfile routines and nightly SQL DB backups. UpSearch provided a professional engagement and deliverables that are exemplary of Microsoft partners.” 

Charles Barendt, Director of IT, Diocese of Cleveland

“We were extremely happy with UpSearch’s work. They provided a very helpful overview of our SQL Server environment. We were able to implement most suggestions ourselves. I would happily recommend UpSearch to anyone looking for outsourced SQL Server DBA Services.”
