SQL migration

Seamless Integration: SQL DBAs as a Part of the Team

One of the keys to this successful migration was our ability to seamlessly integrate our SQL DBAs into the client’s existing team. Our experts became a part of their workflows, working alongside their engineers, analysts, and site reliability engineers (SREs)This close collaboration facilitated a smooth transition and kept everyone aligned, resulting in:


  • Proactive Support: Our team gave the client’s engineers the bandwidth to focus on other priorities by taking on critical tasks such as database preparation and troubleshooting.

  • Team Synergy: The ability of our SQL DBAs to adapt to the client’s rhythms and processes significantly enhanced the efficiency of the migration.


Overcoming Challenges with Expert SQL Support

Migrations are inherently challenging, and this project was no exception. The client’s goal was to migrate their SQL Server instance from Azure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP) most efficiently. While the first attempt encountered issues, our team’s technical expertise and unwavering dedication made all the difference.


Key Highlights of Our Recent SQL Migration

How do our SQL support services stand out from the rest? Here’s how our DBA team worked with our client to tackle this database migration:


Thorough Preparation

Our SQL DBAs meticulously prepared the database for migration, not just once but twice, after the initial attempt uncovered unforeseen issues. Their diligence in addressing potential problems before the migration ensured a smoother second attempt.


Critical Troubleshooting

During the migration, our team provided real-time support to troubleshoot issues and rule out probable contributing factors. They quickly identified and resolved challenges by leveraging their deep understanding of database architecture and migration protocols.


Informed Decision-Making

Our DBAs conducted extensive research and discovery, providing data-driven insights that empowered the client’s engineers to make well-informed decisions throughout the process.
