Database Care: Health, Access & Modernization

Know your databases are backed up, secure and supported, with a clear plan to upgrade before an outdated version becomes a risk.

Who it's for

Companies that run SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL or Azure SQL without a full-time DBA, and IT providers who need a database specialist.

Problems it solves

  • Nobody has tested whether backups can actually be restored.
  • Former staff and shared accounts still have admin access.
  • Systems run on versions that no longer get security updates. SQL Server 2016 reached end of support on July 14, 2026.
  • Slow queries and full disks show up as surprises.

One complete package · three levels

Start where you are. Grow when you're ready.

Each level builds on the one before it. Choose the level that fits your needs, or commission the complete system. You can also choose a single part.

Level 1

Health & Access Check

Start here for a clear picture.

  • Backup and restore readiness against your recovery goals
  • User-access review: admins, unused and shared logins, least privilege
  • Security settings, patch level and supported-version status
  • Performance and capacity basics, with a plain-English report ranked by risk

  • Upgrade, migration or cross-platform options per server
  • Upgrade blockers and compatibility findings
  • Options for out-of-support versions, such as extended security updates or upgrading
  • A phased roadmap you can budget for
