Azure cloud managed services

Comprehensive Azure management for SQL Server workloads in the cloud. Solvaria optimizes performance, controls costs, and strengthens security across your Azure environment.

When Azure complexity outpaces in-house capabilities

Migrating databases to Azure introduces operational and performance challenges that can strain internal teams. As environments scale, organizations often see degraded query performance, rising costs, and more complex security management.

For organizations that rely on Azure SQL databases, these issues create measurable business risk, including unplanned downtime and budget overruns. Addressing them often requires specialized expertise and cross-functional knowledge beyond in-house capacity.

Solvaria’s approach

Solvaria’s Azure Cloud Managed Services provide end-to-end management for Azure-based database environments. This ongoing service supports consistent performance, security, and availability. We begin by defining requirements, whether we are taking over support for an existing Azure SQL Managed Instance or optimizing a recently migrated workload.

Our team then handles core Azure DBA functions, from health assessments and performance tuning to security hardening and backup management. We also provide 24×7 monitoring, incident response, best-practice configuration management, and continuous cost optimization.

Azure managed services capabilities

24×7 monitoring and performance tuning

Continuous monitoring of platform and database performance, with proactive detection and response to prevent degradation.

Deep Azure cloud and SQL Server expertise

Solvaria combines Azure platform expertise with deep SQL Server experience. We use native Azure tools (including Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, SQL Insights, and Query Store) to provide real-time visibility into performance and workload behavior. We design solutions in alignment with the Microsoft Well-Architected Framework.

Our senior DBAs each have over 15 years of experience across SQL Server, Azure, and enterprise database platforms. That experience enables coordinated optimization across database and infrastructure layers. We support the SQL Server feature set available in Azure SQL Managed Instance to maintain continuity for critical capabilities.

How we engage

Our team begins each engagement with a comprehensive assessment of your Azure SQL environment. We inventory databases, configurations, and known issues to establish a clear baseline. From there, we develop a remediation roadmap that outlines targeted improvements across performance, security, high availability, and cost management. We review the plan with your team to align with business objectives.

Once approved, our Azure DBAs implement changes using established best practices and schedule work to minimize disruption. After initial optimization, we move into ongoing management, including 24×7 monitoring, support, and continuous tuning as the environment evolves. We also provide regular reporting, including periodic health reports and scheduled review meetings.
