What we do for your SQL Server.
Seven services, one team in Hamburg, since 1994. You commission what you need: once, as a project, or on an ongoing basis. Our own tools are part of every engagement, so every finding comes with evidence.
From your situation to the right service.
Most enquiries start with one of these sentences. If none fits, or several do: the Health Check is the usual starting point, and a conversation costs nothing.
| Your situation | Service | Form | First step |
|---|---|---|---|
| SQL Server is slow, right now or again and again. | Performance tuning | One-off, days to weeks | Conversation, then analysis with follow-up measurement |
| You want to know where you stand. | Health Check | One-off, fixed procedure | Kick-off, data collection, report with evidence |
| There is no DBA, or no time for operations. | PSG DBA Pool | Ongoing, Bronze · Silver · Gold, weekdays | System intake, handover |
| A critical application has to stay fast for good. | PSG MX | Ongoing, monthly | Tuning first, then ongoing care |
| You are building, moving or consolidating. | Infrastructure & high availability | Project | Requirements, architecture, build, failover test |
| Azure is the target, or under consideration. | SQL Server in Azure | Project or advisory | Platform choice, then migration |
| You need reports you can trust. | BI & reporting | Project | Requirements, architecture, data integration |
| Something is on fire right now. | Urgent help | Immediately | Call +49 40 39882875 |
Seven services, briefly explained.
Performance tuning
We find the cause in queries, plans, waits and configuration, implement the change and measure the effect. Urgent or planned, with a documented before and after.
Health Check
A fixed procedure from kick-off to results meeting, a fixed set of review areas, and every finding with observation, evidence, risk and recommendation. Tailored to your question.
PSG DBA Pool
Operations hand in hand with your team: daily system checks on weekdays, backups, maintenance, patches and permissions, remotely through your access. Three tiers, also as cover for absence or outage.
PSG MX
Ongoing performance care for your critical application: tune first, then spot changes early and counter them within the agreed scope. Monthly, with a report.
Infrastructure & high availability
Availability groups, failover clusters, disaster recovery, migration and consolidation: designed from your requirements, built, and handed over with a tested failover. No licence sales.
SQL Server in Azure
Choosing between VM, Managed Instance and Azure SQL Database, migrating, and keeping performance up in the cloud, with an eye on cost and operations.
BI & reporting
Right-sized architecture, data integration and reports that answer questions. Also for organisations without SQL Server, for example in the public sector.
How the services fit together.
Internally we organise our work in five layers; you do not need to know the stack to work with us. Our own tools are part of Health Check, tuning, MX and the DBA Pool, so findings come with evidence rather than guesswork. All tools →
The PSG Stack · five layers
- 01
Foundation
Infrastructure and high availability, migration, edition and cores. Infrastructure →
- 02
Operations
Ongoing administration together with your team. PSG DBA Pool →
- 03
Performance engineering
Solving problems, urgent or planned, and caring for critical applications over time. Performance → · PSG MX →
- 04
Evidence & analysis
Evidence instead of guesswork: execution history, plans, changes. PSG QX →
- 05
Product layer
Performance knowledge across every installation of a software product, for vendors. QX Fleet →
Our tools
- QX
PSG QX
Analyses the execution history: which query, which plan, since when, and what actually changed after a change. More →
- REC
QX Recorder
Captures the evidence of sporadic problems before it disappears. More →
- MXA
MX AIOps
Data collection and analysis on site, largely rule-based, as the foundation of ongoing care. More →
- FLT
QX Fleet
For software vendors: performance across every installation of the same product, release assessment before and after. More →
What brings you here?
In a first conversation we clarify the occasion and the goal and suggest the right service, or tell you if we are not the right people.
