DBA Services

24/7 monitoring, problem resolution, and root-cause analysis

IS Advisory Group will leverage existing monitoring systems or assist in implementing industry standard monitoring solutions thus providing for active and passive monitoring, trending, and root-cause analysis, especially at the code level. We can augment your internal team, especially off hours, or simply replace it.

Proactive Health Checks

IS Advisory Group will assist you in refining existing policies and procedures, or implementing new ones, and maintaining up-to-date work instructions. As part of these processes, regularly scheduled health checks will prevent unwanted downtime and help detect possible issues before they have an impact on the enterprise. We strive to identify issues before they become problems.

Continuous Operational Improvements

Based on solid foundations in ITIL, IS Advisory Group’s ITIL certified DBAs will strive to improve your service strategy, refine your design, provide for smooth transition, and achieve operational excellence and mostly continuously improving service through repeatable and well-documented processes. We will help you to do it once, do it right, and do it again.

Configuration Management

This will allow the enterprise to have similarly configured environments and promote changes through the environments in a safe, managed, documented and reversible way. This is an area in which we have great experience, especially in very dynamic environments, especially those requiring the fast promotion of code through the systems.

Performance Tuning, High Availability and Disaster Recovery

IS Advisory Group’s specialty is performance tuning though the implementation of benchmarking and advanced trend monitoring. We also specialize in high availability and disaster recovery solutions design, implementation and testing, especially in regulated environments. We do not simply like to deploy HA and DR solutions; we test them and make sure that they work when needed.

Toolbox

Over the years, we have developed a wealth of custom T-SQL and PowerShell scripts that we make available to our clients at no cost. This toolbox provides a wealth of custom resources for troubleshooting, analyzing, documenting, adding and complementing the existing monitoring solutions. We can also assist you in customizing publicly available toolboxes and other resources.
