Sql Server is a Mission critical Asset, SQL is hardware intensive so don’t settle for less

I have a SQL Server with acceptable performance is it ok If I continue?

Hardware has grown leaps and bounds specific to SQL Server, you would be plesantly surprised on the productivity increase with the new hardware

Should I consider the workload to choose hardware?

Yes, you should, hardware differs considerably and settings therefrom for OLTP or DataWarehouse, both are different animals

How should I use SQL Server Bare metal or virtualised?

Again it depends on various factors of infrastructure and the individual choices, on a case by case bais. Take an informed decision after consulting us.

Can ransomware affect SQL Server is it any safer to be in cloud?

Active ransomwares such as Mallox/Fargo put abundantly protected servers to instant peril, the hard truth is that, a weakly secured SQL Server is as vulnerable anywhere, cloud or otherwise. The good news is that, it can be secured, by following a set of immutable rules. Consult us to stay safe.
