When might you need to undertake a health check?

It is recommended that health checks are conducted regularly to assess the overall database health, identify potential problems, optimise performance, and ensure the reliability of your applications and data. However, in many businesses this may not happen or happen regularly enough due to lack of resource, a fear of what may be found, other priorities or simply because nothing seems to be wrong. Cyber Samurai can help.

Consider running a health check if:

Reason 01

Your system is  running slower than normal to complete tasks.

Reason 02

You have  noticed failures in backup and restore procedures, or data files have been  corrupted.  

Reason 03

You are experiencing more frequent or unexpected outages and service disruptions.

Reason  04

You have just implemented a software upgrade, added new applications or made any hardware changes.

Reason 05

You have had a security breach

Reason 06

There have been changes in regulations governing the use of data

If you are experiencing any of the above contact us to arrange a
complimentary SQL Server health check.
