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.
Continuous cost optimization
Ongoing rightsizing of Azure resources and use of reserved capacity to reduce waste and maintain predictable spend.
Security hardening and compliance
Applying Azure best practices to protect data and support regulatory compliance.
High availability and disaster recovery planning

Azure SQL Managed Instance expertise
Guidance on workload suitability for Azure SQL Managed Instance, optimizing features such as SQL Agent jobs and cross-database queries.
Remediation of existing deployments
Identifying and correcting misconfigurations in existing Azure SQL environments, including Managed Instances.
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.
