Managed SQL Server, looked after for you
SQL Server holds business data for many Windows applications. It needs scheduled backups with a tested restore, index and statistics maintenance and tight access.
SQL Server: what we look after
- Full, differential and log backups scheduled and copied off the server
- Index and statistics maintenance jobs
- Memory settings, disk and growth monitoring
- Logins and permissions reviewed
When SQL Server goes wrong
- A transaction log that grows until the disk is full
- Queries that slow down as data grows
- A database with no tested backup
Who uses managed SQL Server
Businesses that run Windows applications on Microsoft SQL Server.
What it needs
A licensed edition, enough RAM and fast disks, with space for logs and backups.
What we check first
Before we change anything on a new SQL Server setup, we look at these, and we tell you what we found in plain words:
- Backup chain and last restore
- Log file growth
- Maintenance jobs
- Logins and permissions
From order to a watched SQL Server setup
SQL Server is part of every managed plan. Besides what is listed above, each plan includes outside checks every minute, off-server backups, security hardening and a team that answers your tickets. The price counts servers, not apps.
Tell us what you run

We look before we touch
We check what is installed, what is out of date and what is not backed up, and tell you in plain words.
Backups and watching first
Backups and outside checks are set up before any change, so we can always go back.
Then the steady work
Updates, security, tuning and fixes follow, and you can ask us anything by ticket.

Can you handle licences?
Licences are a separate matter and depend on your setup. We tell you what your server needs and help you buy it correctly.
Is SQL Server covered by the managed plans?
