High availability hosting
SQL databases and server hosting
As a Microsoft Gold Certified partner and a recognised Microsoft Data Management Solutions expert, NetBenefit understands your SQL database server hosting requirements. Our experienced Microsoft consultants design scaleable hosting solutions that grow with your SQL database ensuring maximum performance and availability.
If you opt for NetBenefit’s proactive monitoring services, we will check for resource issues or systems failures on your behalf. Alerts will then make you aware of changes such as unusual database query results or high CPU usage. We can also provide backup services or patching services from our managed services portfolio.
Flexible SQL database options
NetBenefit can provide SQL database licences at a low monthly cost calculated upon the number of processors you require. We will then provide a free software installation on your server. If you already have a copy of the SQL database software, we will be happy to install it on your behalf.
