Data was referred to as the new oil for digital transformation, but in today’s world it does not seem like the right metaphor. Unrefined and in its rawest form, data cannot change your business. But once refined – stored correctly, protected, mined, and optimised – we like to refer to data as a new currency, you and you could be sitting on a large pile of untapped wealth.
Every business needs to keep transactional records and use data from a wide variety of systems for analytics to identify business problems and drive performance. Without it, organisations open themselves to regulatory and business risks. Failing to recover from a backup, or not identifying data security issues, can break client and employee trust, and place a business at significant risk. And that is not something that anyone wants in this current crisis or during business as usual.
Companies need data management in order to run business operations, organise and track customers, inventory and employees. To ensure adequate query performance, keep up with paperless consumer demands, store distinct types of data as well as automate processes.
Having a properly managed data management system also ensures tight security in place to protect the organisations data from outside access. Your data will also be protected from disasters (such as system failure, ransomware attacks and so on) if disaster recovery and back up processes have been put in place.
To help you understand your environment’s level of risk, we are offering a free diagnostic on your SQL data estate.
This diagnostic is designed to determine any high risk data recovery issues that need to be addresses with regards to your SQL Server data estate. We will be able to identify quickly where there may be failed backups, security breaches, and less than optimal configuration.
As a result of the diagnostic, we will report back on where these issues exist and what activities would be needed to fix and ensure ongoing risk reduction.
A secure and protected SQL environment helps to benchmark your readiness and is a crucial step toward cloud readiness. Following this we can also help with preparing for your move to the Azure data platform if required, and then the actual move itself.
Our highly experienced data team is here to help you to de-risk your environment and provide on-going value to your business. We provide the best talent, with around the clock support in order to maintain a healthy database, to reduce the workload of key employees, so they can focus on core projects and ensure your data is compliant and secure.
Altron Karabina offers a value for money monthly managed service to ensure your SQL data assets are securely protected and configured. We ensure minimum downtime, optimum server configuration and essential checks, such as backup and recovery confirmation.
The service covers three specific areas:
Our pricing is based on the number of production and non-production server instances that you wish to protect and is customisable to fit your budget.
If you are investigating modernising your SQL data assets and are looking at moving some or all of them to Microsoft Azure Cloud, then it may not be cost-effective to simply ‘Lift and Shift’ your entire data estate. You need to prepare your technology environment for the move and ensure your expected Azure billing will be within acceptable limits, whilst providing superior performance. To fully enable you for your eventual move to Azure, Altron Karabina can advise on a roadmap and help deliver on necessary tasks in the following architectural decision areas:
Altron Karabina are offering a free high-level workshop to discuss these areas, followed by an optional deep-dive road map exercise. We can then provide execution assistance in a variety of ways, from fully outsourced projects to capacity augmentation. Speak to us about your plans and your budget.
