SQL Sentry Software Implementation Assistance

You’ve made a smart investment in SQL Sentry software and are ready to take your environment to the next level. Our Professional Services team can shorten your learning curve and help you implement a monitoring and performance tuning solution that meets your needs and exceeds your expectations.

Query Performance Tuning Using Performance Advisor

By capturing execution plans in real time, or reviewing plans that have been collected by SQL Sentry Performance Advisor, we will teach you about key performance indicators, how to spot them in execution plans, and how to eliminate them. All with the goal of helping you improve overall performance and tuning your queries to run in record time. Through code review we can also generate helpful recommendations around best practices in relation to optimizing performance and throughput.

SQL Server Administration Services Using SQL Sentry Software

Let's be honest. SQL Server Administration is not as easy as some would have you believe. You have the right tools, now you need an expert craftsman who can turn that investment into results. Our staff is uniquely qualified to leverage the power of Event Manager and Performance Advisor to create a SQL Server environment that lets you sleep at night and focus on your business during the workday.

Qure Workload Analysis and Implementation

Workload analysis and tuning brings a whole new dimension to performance optimization for SQL Server databases and applications. Step back from focusing on individual queries and see the "big picture". Qure Optimizer analyzes the performance of a full workload, recommends a wide range of improvements and evaluates the effect of implementing the changes you choose. Using data already collected in your SQL Sentry database our experts will guide you through the process, ensuring you get the best results from combining the powerful features of SQL Sentry Performance Advisor and Qure Optimizer.
