Professional Microsoft SQL Server support by ASAP – monitoring, optimization, backup, and recovery.

Professional Management, Monitoring, and Database Optimization

ASAP provides a comprehensive Microsoft SQL Server management and support service, including administration, monitoring, performance optimization, and ensuring continuous database operation. Our database administrators (DBAs) ensure the reliable, secure, and efficient performance of your SQL infrastructure – whether on-premises, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments.

Core Service Components

Continuous Monitoring and Preventive Maintenance

  • Real-time monitoring of system load, blocking processes, wait statistics, and SQL Server logs.

  • Proactive detection of anomalies before they become incidents.

  • Regular performance and trend reports.

Administration and Performance Optimization

  • Configuration of SQL instances, memory, I/O, and parallel processing parameters (MAXDOP, Cost Threshold for Parallelism).

  • Optimization of queries, indexes, and execution plans.

  • Management of database growth, filegroups, and transaction logs.

Backup and Restore

  • Backup strategies aligned with RPO (Recovery Point Objective) and RTO (Recovery Time Objective) – defining acceptable data loss and recovery time.

  • Combination of full, differential, and transaction log backups.

  • Regular test restores to verify backup integrity and effectiveness.

High Availability and Disaster Recovery (HA/DR)

  • Implementation and management of Always On Availability Groups (AG) for Enterprise Edition or Basic AG for Standard Edition.

  • Support for Failover Cluster Instances (FCI) using Windows Server Failover Clustering (WSFC).

  • Configuration of Log Shipping and Replication (Transactional, Snapshot, Merge) for DR scenarios and data synchronization between environments.

Health Check, Audit, and Security

  • Periodic review of configurations, permissions, indexes, and statistics.

  • Access audits and recommendations for security hardening (Transparent Data Encryption – TDE, Transport Layer Security – TLS).

  • Status reports and optimization recommendations.

Migration and Consolidation

  • Migrations between SQL Server versions (e.g., SQL Server 2012 → 2019/2022) and to Azure SQL Database or Azure SQL Managed Instance.

  • Instance consolidation and licensing cost optimization.
