Your databases are slow.

You’re using Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL DB, or Amazon RDS SQL Server, and you’re frustrated.

The database seems like a black box. When you ask for data, it’s not coming in and out of the box fast enough. Users are angry, web pages are timing out, back end processes are running longer and longer, and you just wanna get back to your regular work.

You’ve tried asking Copilot and Google for answers, but there’s so much conflicting advice, and you’re hearing a lot of generic best practices. You keep coming across BrentOzar.com, and you’re starting to think that maybe – just maybe – the guy who writes this site might be able to help you.

I’m Brent Ozar. I wanna help.

I make Microsoft SQL Server go faster. Since the late 1990s, I’ve progressed from developer, to sysadmin, to DBA. I’ve managed performance and reliability for tough servers: tens of terabytes, thousands of databases, tens of thousands of queries per second.

I’ve taught at conferences around the world including the PASS Summit, SQLbits, and Microsoft’s own conferences like Ignite and TechEd. My clients have included Stack Overflow, Google, and other companies whose SQL Servers you rely on every day.

Do you need quick hands-on help?
I’m a SQL Server consultant.

I specialize in performance tuning emergencies. In my 2-day SQL Critical Care®, I quickly assess your application’s performance, determine the root cause of the slowdowns, and then get everyone on the same page for permanent pain relief.

You can read sample client findings, watch a video about my process, and book a free sales call with me on my live calendar on my SQL Critical Care® consulting page.
