Discover what clients are saying about Red9
Red9 has incredible expertise both in SQL migration and performance tuning.
The single biggest benefit has been performance gains and tuning associated with migrating to AWS and a newer version of SQL Server with Always On clustering. Red9 was an integral part of this process.… The deep level of knowledge of MSSQL is incredible and the combined experience and expertise has been a huge asset.… Red9 was able to find a number of inefficient indexes and performance bottlenecks that resulted in over 400% improvement in latency.
