Azure SQL managed services

DSP is a leading Microsoft Partner with a well-established pedigree in providing outstanding Azure SQL managed services.

We build our Azure SQL managed services around the needs of your business, so you get the help you need to reduce unnecessary overheads, minimise risks, fully optimise your cloud environment and ultimately maintain a safe and secure Azure instance.

Businesses come to us to fill resourcing gaps in their teams or take on database admin tasks, so in-house staff can focus on other areas like innovation. This often results in a considerable reduction in overheads, with managed services customers often saving as much as 70%.

With our unique and personalised Azure SQL managed services, your cloud environment will continue to operate seamlessly, giving you complete peace of mind for less than the cost of on in-house DBA.

Not only do we offer 24/7 support, our experts will regularly manage your costs and analyse your consumption to guarantee everything is rightsized and properly optimised.

 

Personalised service to fit your individual needs

Depending on your technical resources and desired level of control, our Azure managed services can be scaled up or down, but our services are commonly split down in the following ways:
  • A light touch: We manage your computing, networking and storage but applications, middleware, operating systems and VMs sit with you. 
  • A halfway house: Taking care of all your environment except applications and middleware.
  • A full-service: We'll take care of everything. 

Built-in disaster recovery as standard

In the case of a disaster, our disaster recovery provides the ultimate safety net for minimising downtime and data loss.

Our experts are ready to go at a moment's notice, whenever calamity hits, to get your critical apps back up if there's a problem. We use back-up mechanisms that ensure three independent locations for your data.

Disaster recovery is highly successful and cost-efficient, as it works on a pay-as-you-go basis, kicking in just when you need it – giving you a peace of mind and lower costs, when it really matters.
