🤚Are DBAs even allowed to go on vacation?

❗Honestly? No - Database Administrators are NOT allowed to go on vacation.

It's like an unwritten rule at growing SMB/SMEs that only have 1 DBA

🤯It leads to burnout, turnover, and Disaster Recovery well... DISASTERS

How do you solve it?

Not by hiring! You can't afford another FTE and besides there isn't 160 hours of work for them to do every month.

There's a better way.

Preserve business continuity by supporting your staff affordbly.

🏥Hospitals run on SQL Server

It's true!

💻A hospital averages THREE HUNDRED software applications

90% of these run on SQL Server.

🤯Everything from billing to insurance processing, patient onboarding and even down to the INFUSION PUMPS, SQL Server runs everything.

🤔So why do so many hospitals not support their DBAs, Admins, Engineers, and DevOps teams properly?

With the right tools and team augmenting, you can make your servers more reliable, improve patient satisfaction, and relieve teh stress on your entire team.

And I do mean the ENTIRE team.

👩‍⚕️The NIH did a study that NURSES spend up for 50% of their time on entering data into EHRs. Most of their overtime can be attributed to this as well.💸

Improving the speed and ease of using your data will make the entire organization run smoother.

⚠️PINs are probably sabotaging you

Passwords too.

65% of all of your staff are reusing Passwords and PINs for all of their access.

Everywhere.

That's one reason why training is so important. Open their eyes to the ways they are hurting THEMSELVES.

Sometimes, your budget just doesn't stretch as far as needed.

What do you do?

Instead of hiring an entry-level person, and hoping they can handle your environment, bring on an MSP.

Soaring Eage can fill the void your budget leaves you in, providing targeted specialists in Data Analysis/Visualization, Architecture, Performance and Tuning, and Security.

Stop struggling, and bring in the experts (affordably).

When you need quick, simple solutions, the answer is to spend exorbitant amounts of money.

Unfortunately, those solutions tend to be temporary (bet the sales guy didn't tell you that) or more expensive over time.

OOPS

Real solutions to problems in your and other systems require expertise and manpower.

If you want better performance and visibility of your data, let us know.

Your stack needs to be perfectly balanced to perform well.

When was the last time you had an architecture review?

You don't want to overbuild(causing the budget to explode), or worse, underbuild and face problems
