SQL Server Support Overview

Blue Gecko specializes in operational and monitoring support for SQL Server databases and database infrastructure.  We regularly perform tasks such as:

  • Performance Monitoring and Optimization
  • High Availability
  • Analysis and Reporting Services
  • Replication
  • T-SQL Tuning
  • SSIS and DTS (development)
  • SQL Server on Amazon Web Services

Located in Seattle, Washington, Blue Gecko has deep roots in the SQL Server community and access to some of the best Microsoft and SQL Server resources anywhere.

We have recently adapted our database monitoring software, Monocle, to include data collection and monitoring for SQL Server, giving our team of DBAs and engineers a single platform for monitoring and analyzing data across Oracle, MySQL, and now SQL Server.  This not only makes us more efficient and quicker to respond to issues, but allows us to correlate statistics across our customers’ entire enterprise – illuminating trends that would otherwise have gone unnoticed.
