WellData is platform agnostic when it comes to the hosting of the Microsoft SQL Server instances under its care.
The same high levels of Microsoft SQL Server support are employed whichever platform is hosting the database.
Often a great alternative to running Microsoft SQL Server on a server or virtual machine, Azure SQL platforms come with their own unique challenges and support requirements; less focus on backups and patching, more focus on security, performance and costs.
Our Microsoft SQL Server team have been working with Azure SQL Databases and Azure SQL Managed Instances since their public release (and even a little before that!) and have built up considerable experience and knowledge in how to best utilise, configure, and monitor these platforms.
From security configuration and performance enhancements to high availability and cost optimisations, WellData’s experienced SQL Server team are here to help.
For your business critical Microsoft SQL Server instances, having robust high availability and disaster recovery (HADR) measures in place is a must.
High availability to keep your applications running in the event of server failure or planned maintenance, and disaster recovery to allow your business to continue trading even after a catastrophic datacentre failure or cyber incident.
Microsoft SQL Server provides many features to acheive HADR, including AlwaysOn Availability Groups, AlwaysOn Failover Cluster Instances and Log Shipping – but these are only useful if configured correctly, monitored effectively and tested regularly.
Whether you already have HADR measures in place, or need to implement HADR for vulnerable standalone instances, WellData’s Microsoft SQL Server team are here to help.
We deal with HADR features on a daily basis and know the pros and cons, gotchas and pitfalls of all Microsoft SQL Server features.
Let the experts put your mind at rest knowng your critical SQL Server workloads are protected.
Developed over a number of years, our most experienced support consultants at WellData have created a thorough and concise structure for reviewing and health checking Microsoft SQL Server databases.
Microsoft SQL Server health checks are available as a one off service or are included in our comprehensive Microsoft SQL Server database management contract.
The current supported versions of Microsoft SQL Server are SQL Server 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2022. Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2016 ends in July 2026.
When a Microsoft SQL Server instance version comes to the end of its supported life, there are many reasons why it should be upgraded to a later, more featureful, and secure version supported by Microsoft’s security patches, hotfixes and cumulative updates.
Unfortunately, upgrading is not an option for some instances, but this is where our database managed services can help.
We support any version of Microsoft SQL Server, even if they are end-of-life.
Do you need real-time reporting data but don’t want your business analysts running large reports against your application databases and slowing down your end users?
Microsoft SQL Server replication could be the solution.
Sometimes classed as a ‘dark art’, replication is often avoided or maligned by less skilled DBA’s.
Our Microsoft SQL Server team know that replication is a great feature and can signficantly improve an organisations reporting capabilities.
Whether you are already using replication, or would like to help in setting it up, let WellData use their extensive experience in configuring, managing, monitoring and troubleshooting replication issues to help you maximise the benefit and minimise the risk to your reporting data.
At some point you will be thinking of migrating some or all of your Microsoft SQL Server instances to the Cloud.
Changing platforms in such a major way is not simple; a lot of thought and planning should go into the whys, wherefores, and methods of moving, what is probably a business-critical system, onto Cloud infrastructure.
This migration could be a full, partial or hybrid cloud solution; via either lift-and-shift of existing servers (Infrastructure-as-a-Service, or IaaS) or migration to a cloud native platform (Platform-as-a-Service, PaaS).
WellData is well-placed to assist with this journey, from initial strategy, through migration planning to final execution.
Having performed a successful migration, WellData is then in a position to provide the subsequent Microsoft SQL Server cloud support, taking full advantage of the new benefits of being Cloud based.
The number of Microsoft SQL Server databases and instances in an organisation can grow relentlessly over time.
This affects the cost of support and, to some extent, overall reliability.
It then becomes necessary to consolidate these databases onto a smaller number of platforms, either physically or virtually.
However, the process of consolidating databases can present significant risks—change is risky!
To reduce this risk, an organisation needs the resources, skills, and experience to perform the consolidation in a planned and controlled way.
The problem is that any single organisation performs this type of exercise very rarely and probably doesn’t have the necessary resources, skills, or experience to handle it.
That is where our Microsoft SQL Server consulting services can help.
This is our bread-and-butter skill set; we’ve performed consolidations for many clients across a wide range of industries.
If a specific consolidation has a difficult problem or challenge, there’s a very good chance that a member of our Microsoft SQL Server consulting team has encountered it before.
If you think you need additional Microsoft SQL Server licenses, speak to WellData Microsoft SQL Server support team first.
Before you buy an additional license, you might want to take stock of your current instance structure.
There’s often scope for consolidation, rearrangement and/or reuse of existing licenses. You might even want to take advantage of an Microsoft SQL Server Instance Audit.
Once all your alternative options have been considered. WellData can give you a competitive quote for your Microsoft SQL Server license, that will fit your needs perfectly.
Have you lost touch with your Microsoft SQL Server licensing?
WellData can help you discover all your installed Microsoft SQL Server instances, versions, editions and whether any edition-specific features are in use.
Once discovered, we can then match this discovery with the actual licenses you own, to create a Gap Report.
Hopefully, this Gap Report will be empty, but if it isn’t we can recommend various ways of reconciling the discrepancy, whether that is the purchase of additional licenses, consolidation of instances, or the removal of code from unused servers.
In the case where a client is over licensed, WellData can recommend how these surplice licenses could best be used or treated.
Part of the Microsoft SQL Server managed services portfolio available from WellData is database project work.
Projects generally follow a similar format: requirements gathering, preparation of a Statement of Work (SOW), quotation, acceptance and finally execution and sign-off.
All projects are performed fixed-price.
