\n Is a Slow SQL Server killing your team\u2019s productivity? Ramp it into overdrive with a Performance Audit by sqlity.net\u2026 It\u2019s like steroids for your SQL Server\u2026<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \nWouldn\u2019t it be great if your IT team could get more done in less time?\n<\/p>\n \nWhat if your server hummed along spitting out reports on time and no one sat around waiting? Would that mean more productivity? Would it mean everyone in the company had the information they need to make decisions\u2014at least from IT?\n<\/p>\n \nBetter planning + more productivity = increased bottom line.\n<\/p>\n \nIf you have:\n<\/p>\n \nYour company is losing money\u2014ouch!\n<\/p>\n \nAt sqlity.net, we conduct a SQL Server Performance Audit to help your SQL Server zoom past the competition<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n \nAlthough you can\u2019t give your slow SQL Server steroids to make it go faster, you can do the next best thing: Hire the team at sqlity.net.\n<\/p>\n \nWe connect to your server and watch it for analysis, performance and metrics.\n<\/p>\n \nOver the course of a few days we monitor how different parts of the system behave in different situations and on different days of the week.\n<\/p>\n \nHere\u2019s why this is important: Your application encounters different load patterns throughout the week. If we watch only on Monday, we might miss a problem that happens only on Tuesdays. One client had a problem that appeared only on Fridays between 2:00-3:00 p.m. It slowed their SQL Server down so much, it could not even accept additional connections. But there was no discernable increase in traffic during those times. After doing some digging, it turned it out to be a complex interaction between function calls, parallelism and context switches. We were able to straighten it out so the Friday afternoons zipped by again \u2013 that is, SQL Server zipped\u2014we can\u2019t vouch for the staff.\n<\/p>\n \nDuring the SQL Server Performance Audit we look at different performance metrics including:\n<\/p>\n \nWe\u2019ll hunt down those productivity killers and put them on the blacklist. Usually, there is more than one problem. Sometimes there are slow stored procedures; sometimes an index needs to be added. When these aren\u2019t tuned accurately, your server can slow to a crawl. We\u2019ll compile everything into a report for you, which includes a prioritized action item list.\n<\/p>\n \nAnd don\u2019t worry about our work slowing you or your servers down. We use non-intrusive techniques that won\u2019t impact the performance of your already strained SQL Server further. Your team will be able to do their jobs and our work won\u2019t interfere.\n<\/p>\n \nThe prioritized action item list will let you know where to get started right away. Often, fixing the single biggest \u201coffender\u201d can relieve the performance situation for the entire system. The recommendations might include steps to:\n<\/p>\n \nEach of these is different, but all have a direct financial impact. They can mean lost revenue because of reduced productivity, customer loss, or even penalties if you cannot meet your SLAs.\n<\/p>\n \nWhile working with several large installations in the healthcare field, we encountered one where 11 million customer records needed to be transferred to a new system. Dealing with sensitive healthcare records adds its own level of complexity due to HIPAA and PHI regulations but in this case there was the additional requirement for this transfer to take place within 72 hours of run time.\n<\/p>\n \nDo you know what our initial investigation revealed? That it was going to take over 70 YEARS to transfer the data! No way they would have been able to meet their SLAs.\n<\/p>\n \nObviously, that\u2019s unworkable by anyone\u2019s standards.\n<\/p>\n \nOur goal? Fix the code so it would run faster and get the runtime down to hours. We did it. We were able to meet the imposed maximum runtime requirement.\n<\/p>\n \nIf you\u2019re ready to enjoy a blazing fast SQL server, let\u2019s talk<\/a>. Your performance audit will uncover the problems around a slow SQL Server and get it running fast so you look like a hero. Maybe you\u2019ll even get a bonus!\n<\/p>\n\n

Deadlocks are often caused by underlying performance problems. For example, a procedure might be holding on too long to one resource before trying to access another one. Improve the performance and the deadlocks will go away too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nYou\u2019ll Get a Blueprint for Fixing the Problem(s):<\/h2>\n
