How to Implement SQL Databases?

What you need to do in order to gain the benefits of SQL databases for your company and customers.

Here are some of the primary concerns companies have had with running database solutions in the cloud, and how TriSys can address these:

Performance

TriSys provides a 24/7 uninterrupted access to your database, without the big expenses a managed onsite SQL Server would incur. We have all the connectivity, CPU & processing power, storage and other benefits available for a fraction of what a company would spend if they wanted to buy and administrate their own test/production servers.

Manageability

When it comes to managing critical business data in the cloud, companies are concerned about how they can access and manage their information. TriSys expertise in building, scaling and managing databases in the cloud, means that organisations gain greater control and oversight of their database environments.

Security

TriSys has built-in security and compliance capabilities that allow organisations to manage how people access data, as well as audit information to help with their regulatory compliance needs (e.g., HIPAA, PCI Data Security Standard Compliance). For businesses that need to secure sensitive data because they collect credit card or social security information, TriSys can provide database encryption so people cannot query, steal or recover it somewhere else. The additional benefits of hosting a SQL Server database with TriSys includes access to our SQL professionals, TriSys have high levels of expertise in deploying and administering SQL Server databases.

Expertise

Databases need regular tuning in order to perform at their peak performance, this would normally require the employment of a DBA to manage and monitor your database. TriSys provide this service as standard, as well as scheduling database maintenance jobs to rebuild or defragment indexes and update statistics as needed.

Database Design

The TriSys database itself has been developed by DBA professionals for optimum scalability and performance. TriSys Databases utilise indexes to optimize data access, to ensure uniqueness, and to enable clustering. Each database takes careful planning to ensure the end product runs efficiently and also securely. Data is always being edited, added, and deleted, so it's important to keep a database organised in order to maintain this, TriSys database structure is solid and secure and scalable to grow with your business without incurring any additional running costs or performance degradation.

Scalability

TriSys hosted SQL Servers provide the in-built ability to scale up as your businesses grows. No downtime is required to upgrade CPU or RAM as you would have outside of a hosted environment, the specification of the Servers provided are already superior to those afforded on site at half the price. Users can be added or removed easily and TriSys handles high volumes of data on an array of high performance servers.

Cost Effectiveness

TriSys provide a full SQL Server database environment; this means none of the usual purchase costs normally involved with purchasing and licencing a new Server are incurred, as we provide the SQL Server software, licences, backups and full support. Our experienced DBAs can manage, monitor and trouble-shoot any issues with your database, meaning no hidden costs either.

Companies that take advantage of the subscription model increase their return on investment because they do not have to purchase on-premise hardware, software and support personnel. Additionally, TriSys can offer additional licensing options through their partnership with Microsoft and expertise with SQL Server.

Costs are always a black hole when managing data-intensive applications within a client server environment. With internal IT engineers constantly being pulled into different directions, it is difficult for companies to understand how much time is dedicated to their database applications. Utilizing TriSys SQL Server hosting makes it much easier to predict the exact IT costs and project monthly recurring operating expenses.

Backups

TriSys constantly back up your data on resilient backups and at disaster recovery locations. This provides peace of mind that your data is stored safely and securely, with no worries about your data if your hardware is stolen or in the event of an IT systems failure. This powerful and highly scalable infrastructure, provides unlimited power, very high availability, resiliency, performance and backup.

Data Availability

TriSys provides full hosting with 24/7 access. Having a hosted database means that you can access your data anywhere and anytime. TriSys provides fast and reliable access 24/7, meaning you can always obtain essential information quickly and easily whenever it is needed.

Simplicity

Companies no longer have to worry about a large percentage of their IT environment. They do not have to think about what vendor is supplying their hardware. They do not have to keep spare equipment on hand in case something goes wrong, and they do not have to worry about how much capital needs to be raised to purchase additional hardware to meet uncertain future IT demands. Maintaining, administering and monitoring databases is an intensive process. That is where a typical IT organization spends a significant amount of time and resources. That drops drastically when businesses leverage the knowledge and expertise of a provider such as TriSys that has the experience and established best practices to provide a streamlined, process-oriented workflow that enables them to realize the many benefits of running SQL Server databases within a hosted environment and gain a better return on investment.

Reporting

TriSys provides business intelligence and reporting capabilities to allow organizations to easily create, share and analyse millions of dynamic reports. This enables companies running SQL Server databases to accelerate reporting and analytical processes, and improve the management of critical data across diverse systems and collaboration with their colleagues.
