Hosted SQL from ATSG
ATSG delivers a platform for your business to host SQL databases in the Cloud, either as a primary site, or as back-up in a BC/DR scenario. If you’re not taking advantage of the latest Microsoft SQL, there are many reasons to move to a modern data platform. Most importantly – without the business intelligence and analytics afforded by a high-performance SQL Server solution – you won’t be able to keep up with the competition.
For those seeking a competitive edge with advanced analytics, ATSG can help facilitate the process of adopting a cloud hosted SQL Server solution. In addition to its high-performance cloud infrastructure – ATSG can help migrate databases from an existing, but aging SQL platform. Following that, we can also deliver managed services to help maintain your database in the cloud.
If you’re wondering if this solution is right for your business, read about the three common use cases for Hosted SQL.
ATSG SQL Hosting: Use Cases
We all want more insights on our data. To meet this objective, consider moving your SQL Server databases to the cloud. By migrating, you can take advantage of flexible delivery models, as well as substantial performance and security gains. To see if a hosted SQL Server solution is a good fit for your business, we’ve outlined 4 common use cases and scenarios. Keep reading or contact us to see which setup is the best fit for you.
Database Replication & Backup
ATSG integrates with Veeam Backup and Replication® – widely considered to be the # 1 VM backup solution – with our own Cloud Storage – for an enterprise-grade BC/DR solution. With no transfer fees, replicating your databases doesn’t have to break the bank.
High Availability
ATSG’s hosted SQL Server infrastructure meets the High Availability (HA) requirements of mission critical databases. With Active-Active load balancing, automatic failover, and Always on Availability Groups, a ATSG-hosted HA solution offers peace of mind that your critical data and applications will not be subject to downtime.
Hybrid Cloud SQL Server
A hybrid cloud SQL allows you to maintain an on-premise solution, while taking advantage of the flexibility, elasticity, and BC/DR functionality offered by the cloud. With a backup in our cloud infrastructure, you can rest assured that your critical workloads will not be compromised in the wake of a disruptive event.
Hosted SQL Servers
You also have the option to move to a purely cloud-hosted solution. Maximize the benefits of the cloud by moving your entire database engine to ATSG’s infrastructure.
A Turn-key SQL Hosting Solution
Companies that partner with ATSG get support services and full management level access to their infrastructure, via ATSGOne Cloud Manager, our cloud provisioning platform. To provide you with a seamless transition to the cloud, we offer managed services that you can take advantage of, through-out the lifecycle of your hosted SQL Server solution.
Benefits of Hosted SQL
By hosting SQL 2012, SQL 2014 or SQL 2016, you can enjoy the following benefits from ATSG’s services.
Scalability
The scalability that comes from cloud hosted Cloud SQL databases cannot be matched by any physical or dedicated machine. Customers don’t want a large shipment of database servers for their temporary needs. Cloud-based Cloud SQL databases are designed exactly for situations like these.
Outsourcing Maintenance
Technology continues to progress at a rapid pace, and management’s spending on IT and staff can’t seem to catch up accordingly. If you’re already over-loaded with network administration, consider moving or migrating parts of your infrastructure to the cloud with ATSG, and offload the maintenance.
High Availability
There’s nothing more excruciating than dealing with a critical database going down during peak traffic hours. ATSG based Cloud SQL databases give you the solution, with high availability (HA) technology and distributed resources.
Pay per Usage
ATSG offers pay per usage databases as a service, allowing you to only pay for the databases you consume, and not for a hosting account you hardly use.
Security
ATSG prioritizes security. It’s the foundation of every virtual ATSG environment, including ATSG SQL servers. Our solution offers multi-layered security built-in.
