What We Do

Brent Ozar PLF is a boutique consulting firm focused on understanding your environment and strategy. We partner with you to objectively identify pain points and develop remedies that align to your business goals.  Your experience comes first; we share our knowledge and expertise to help you.  Our services include:

SQL Server Performance Check-Up – A growing database environment can lead to unexpected performance changes such as slow downs or outages. Without a clear game plan to baseline performance, and efficiently deal with the complex elements of your SQL Server infrastructure, your team risks being left in the dark when issues arise or missing potential opportunities to increase efficiency and save costs.

SAN Implementation and Tuning – Storage area network investments are expensive and expertise in understanding SAN and its impact on your database environment is hard to find. When performance issues occur, it’s critical that the your organization receive the most objective answers to the tough questions about the network. Knowing definitively which combination of variables are affecting SAN performance is vital to limiting the impact on your investment.

SQL Server Triage for ISVs – Software vendors sometimes sell products to customers that require expertise that goes beyond what the customer skill set is and what the ISV can afford to keep on staff. This becomes painful when complex issues arise and solutions are needed – quickly.

Virtualization and Cloud Fit Analysis – Knowing where to begin – which databases should be virtualized, whether applications belong in the cloud – is complex and daunting. Experience with different programming and architectural models is crucial to successfully moving applications to a hosted environment. Poorly developed applications won’t deliver the performance gains expected in either virtualized or the cloud environments and end up costing companies large amounts of money in wasted resources.
