Why sqldba

Because we've fixed this a few hundred times.

We're a New Zealand SQL Server practice. That is all we do. Not networks, not helpdesk, not "IT". SQL Server.

We talk to peers, not procurement.

You won't get a brochure or a junior reading a script. You get someone who has been there at 2:39am, coffee going cold, restoring a database that should never have been at risk. We know what breaks, because we have fixed it.

We find the risk you can't see.

Your servers are running fine. You know that. What you might not know is what is quietly sitting there, waiting: a backup nobody has restored, an account still called sa, a failover nobody has tested. We find it, tell you in plain English what it costs the business, and fix it.

We fit around what you already have.

We are not trying to replace your IT partner or run your whole estate. We are the specialists you bring in for the hard parts: risk, performance, licensing, recoverability. We are happy to work alongside your existing provider, as an escalation point, the overflow on a busy estate, or the deep dive nobody else runs. We will also tell you, plainly, when someone else is the better fit.

New Zealand based, and the work travels.

Home is New Zealand, and that is where most of our clients are. But a slow query looks the same in Sydney or Seattle, and we have active clients in Australia and the United States too. Nearly all of it runs remotely — secure access to your estate, not a plane ticket — so a failed backup or a runaway licence bill gets the same senior attention wherever the server happens to live.

The numbers behind the work.

Across the assessments we have run, clients have stopped paying for more than NZ$50 million in SQL Server licences they did not need — about $7 million a year. We have run over 20,000 instance assessments, each backed by the same diagnostic engine we built in-house: 650+ checks that go well past the usual scripts. That is how we find the risk most reviews miss.
