Azure SQL DBA Services
for Mission-Critical Operations
We manage your Azure SQL databases so your team can focus on the business. Proactive monitoring, HA/DR, performance tuning, and expert DBA coverage — without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Complete Azure SQL DBA Coverage
From provisioning to day-to-day management, we handle every layer of your Azure SQL environment so issues are caught before they impact your business.
Proactive Monitoring & Alerting
24/7 automated monitoring of DTU/vCore consumption, blocking sessions, deadlocks, long-running queries, and storage thresholds — with immediate escalation protocols.
High Availability & Disaster Recovery
Design and implementation of Always On Availability Groups, Geo-Replication, Auto-failover groups, and Business Continuity policies aligned with your RTO/RPO requirements.
Backup & Recovery Management
Automated backup validation, point-in-time restore testing, and custom retention policies. We ensure your data is recoverable before you ever need it.
Performance Tuning & Optimization
Index analysis, query plan reviews, statistics maintenance, and resource allocation tuning. We systematically eliminate bottlenecks that slow your applications.
Maintenance & Patching
Scheduled index rebuilds, statistics updates, integrity checks, and Azure patch management — executed in maintenance windows that minimise operational disruption.
Security & Compliance
Azure Defender for SQL, Transparent Data Encryption, row-level security, audit logging, and role-based access control configured for regulatory compliance.
Senior DBA Expertise — Without the Full-Time Cost
Hiring a senior Azure DBA full-time is expensive and slow. Datasoft gives you the same depth of expertise, available when you need it, at a fraction of the cost.
Specialist, not generalist
Our DBAs work exclusively on SQL Server and Azure SQL — deep focus means fewer mistakes and faster resolution.
Preventive approach
We solve problems before they cause downtime. Our monitoring cadence catches 90% of issues at alert stage, not incident stage.
Business-aware DBA work
Every recommendation is evaluated for business impact, not just technical correctness. We understand that downtime has a cost.
Transparent reporting
Monthly health reports with plain-language summaries, trend analysis, and upcoming risk areas for technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Flexible engagement models
Retainer, project-based, or on-demand. Scale DBA coverage up or down as your operational needs change.
Colombia base · Global delivery
We serve companies in Colombia, the US, Spain, and Mexico — with response times measured in minutes, not business days.
From Assessment to Ongoing Management
We follow a structured onboarding process that gives us full visibility into your environment before we make a single change.
Environment Assessment
We audit your current Azure SQL configuration, performance baselines, security posture, and backup validity. You get a prioritized findings report within 5 business days.
Monitoring & Alert Setup
We deploy our monitoring stack across your databases, configure alert thresholds, and establish escalation runbooks tailored to your team's communication channels.
Remediation & Hardening
Critical findings from the assessment are addressed first. We execute changes in maintenance windows with rollback plans in place for every intervention.
Ongoing Management
Continuous proactive management: weekly maintenance cycles, monthly health reviews, quarterly capacity planning, and on-call support for incidents.
Azure SQL DBA Services — FAQ
Do you support both Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance?
Yes. We cover Azure SQL Database (Single, Elastic Pool), Azure SQL Managed Instance, and on-premises SQL Server — including hybrid configurations and migration paths between them.
What is your response time for critical incidents?
For production-down incidents, our target response time is under 30 minutes via WhatsApp and email. For high-severity (degraded performance) issues, response is within 2 hours.
We already have an internal IT team. Can you work alongside them?
Absolutely. We often act as the specialized SQL layer within a broader IT team, handling database-specific tasks while your team manages infrastructure, applications, and end users.
How do you handle access to our Azure environment?
We work with the minimum necessary permissions, use Just-In-Time access where supported, and document every action taken. Full activity logs are available to your team at all times.
