The festive season is a great opportunity to reflect on the year that was and the changes that have occurred. In the world of technology these changes are occurring at an ever-increasing fast cadence. Over the last few weeks alone, SQL Server 2019 was released along with Azure Synapse Analytics.
From a WARDY IT Solutions perspective we have not slowed down either in 2019 and in the last month have released our learning as a service platform and Janus which is our code migration tool to accelerate and de-risk the migration from other database platforms including Oracle and Teradata. We look forward to continuing to deliver on these plus many more innovations in 2020.
We would like to thank all of our partners and clients for all of their support and custom and wish you a great festive season and prosperous new year.

READ THE CASE STUDYAzure Database Optimisation
Many organisations notice that moving to the cloud can become expensive, and want to reduce costs.
Traditional IT investments are a capital expense you don’t think about for a couple of years. In this mindset, companies will deploy for the future, and will buy more RAM or CPU for their organisation to grow into. However, this way of thinking is not suitable for the cloud. Often, organisations find their bills increasing every month.
WARDY IT Solutions is offering an Azure Database Optimisation Service. We understand IT budgets are finite, so we will look at how you can do more with less.

Azure provides different options to host your SQL Server workload in the cloud. You can migrate to Azure Managed Instances, Azure SQL Server Database, or you can use Virtual Machines with SQL Server installed (IAAS – Infrastructure as a service option). For SQL Servers installed on Virtual Machines, you can also benefit from the Microsoft Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows and SQL Server, although this does not require Azure SQL Server resource provider.

The days when a database administrator (DBA) could specialise solely in a single database technology are rapidly ending. Today, we’re much more likely than ever before to be asked to bring together many types of data from diverse sources. Although specialisation still has its place, having the knowledge and tools at our disposal to cross those boundaries makes us much more useful.
