This week I have joined the WARDY IT Solutions team at SQLBits in Manchester to launch SQL Beacon in EMEA. SQL Beacon™ is the underlying technology that powers our award-winning Virtual DBA service.
There are countless differentiators between the Virtual DBA service and other monitoring and support options and SQL Beacon plays a large part of this. WARDY IT Solutions has developed SQL Beacon from the ground up to proactively manage not only SQL Server but the entire Microsoft Data Estate and Azure Data Services. We have a team of developers that is 100% dedicated to continuing to increase the surface area of the product and we are excited by the opportunity to empower other managed services practices in EMEA with SQL Beacon.
