What matters for ERP and enterprise application databases
Enterprise application databases usually carry two workloads at once: many small transactions through the day, and heavy reporting queries at day's end. When the two contend on one server, users finding the application sluggish while a report runs is a familiar picture.
The fix is usually separating the workloads rather than adding resources. Directing reporting to a replica, or moving heavy jobs into quieter hours, often produces a better result than a larger server.
The backup strategy combines full and differential backups: full backups at set intervals, differentials more frequently, which both tightens recovery points and shortens the backup window. Transaction log backups come into play for systems needing point-in-time recovery.
There is no justification for exposing SQL Server to the internet. The port is restricted so it is reachable only from the segment hosting the application server, and administrative connections run over VPN.
- Transactional and reporting loads planned separately
- Full and differential backups used together
- Transaction log backed up for point-in-time recovery
- SQL port opened only to the application segment
- Wait statistics and slow queries monitored
Features
Service scope
SPLA licensing
Licensing is monthly, with the edition chosen for the features you need and your data volume.
Backup strategy
Full, differential and log backups are planned, and restore scenarios tested regularly.
Resource configuration
Maximum memory, degree of parallelism and tempdb placement are never left at defaults.
Performance tracking
Wait statistics, blocking and long-running queries are tracked so bottlenecks surface early.
Access policy
Access is restricted at network level and administrative connections run over a VPN tunnel.
Maintenance plan
Index maintenance and statistics updates are scheduled to run regularly.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you migrate my ERP database?
Yes. In ERP migrations the critical part is estimating the cutover window accurately, so we run a rehearsal first and measure the duration. The real migration is then performed in a window planned around that measurement, with data integrity verified together afterwards.
My reporting queries slow the application — what's the fix?
Two options: move heavy reports into quieter hours, or direct reporting to a separate replica. Which fits depends on how current the reports' data must be, and we assess that with you.
Can I take my own database backups?
Yes, you can run your own backup jobs. Alongside them, infrastructure-level Veeam backups continue; the two layers complement rather than replace each other.
