Hi! I'm Pieter Vanhove For more than 20 years Microsoft SQL Server is really my passion. I have a profound knowledge in high availability and disaster recovery solutions, data security and love the new Microsoft Azure stuff. A bridge to all your Microsoft Data Platform projects. Below you can find all the services that I'm offering. Health Check & Performance Tuning Do you often have the feeling that your SQL Server is not working optimally, or that your database design can be better? Lucias offers an audit of your SQL Server environment, including an analysis of server and database settings, database configuration, security and SQL maintenance. We will provide you with a full audit report and recommendations for improvements, which can be implemented by you or Lucias. Migration, Upgrade & Modernization You have no idea how many SQL Servers have been installed in your company. Or you are still using an older, unsupported version. It may be time to look into a different solution, which will allow you to save high costs on licenses, keep your data more secure and give you access to enhanced new features. Lucias will help you with a consolidation analysis, the architecture design of the new environment, the installation on-premises or in the cloud and finally the migration. Data Architecture & Design Data is everywhere in the enterprise, from large legacy systems to departmental databases and spreadsheets. This makes data architecture even more important. A solid data architecture is a blueprint that helps align your company's data with its business strategies. Lucias can guide you how the data is collected, integrated, enhanced, stored, and delivered to business people who use it to do their jobs. We offer Azure Data Architecture support, including relational database solutions, NoSQL solutions like Cosmos DB, Azure Synapse and more... Cloud Data Migration Data migrations are often started as companies want to move from on-premises SQL Servers to cloud-based database solutions to optimize and modernize their data platform. Data migration is often seen as risky and difficult. The right migration approach is key to have a smooth migration. Lucias can help to identify possible migration issues, recommend your migration options and create a migration plan for you. High Availability & Disaster Recovery Lucias specializes in the implementation of high availability and disaster recovery solutions for SQL Server like AlwaysOn Failover (multi-site) Clustering, AlwaysOn Availability Groups, Database Mirroring and Log Shipping. With these configurations, we guarantee a high uptime of your critical SQL systems. Secure your (cloud) Data Every system, architecture, and application need to be designed with security in mind. There's too much at risk. A data breach could ruin hard-earned trust, while causing significant financial harm. Lucias helps alleviate your security concerns. We will look at ways to secure your SQL Server and database by securing access, implementing encryption technologies, and other techniques for database security. Training Lucias can assist you by offering specialized coaching and training on new Azure Data or SQL Server features for your IT-team and database administrators. If required, we can also provide a custom designed training based on the specific requirements of your company. The training can be held at your company location or offsite. Database Administration Do you only have a few SQL Servers in your company, but you do not have the time or knowledge to maintain them? Lucias can help you. At fixed intervals, we will come to your company or work remotely to support your IT team with daily database administration tasks.
