Over time, databases and applications become cluttered with unused tables, indexes, and other objects that slow down performance and create vulnerabilities.

MGA uses a proven methodology and tools to ensure your environment is running at peak performance, robustness, security & cost efficiency.  MGA Health Checks are non-invasive and can range in scope from an initial or quick overview of the general health of a database instance (1 day) to a detailed assessment of your total estate.

After discussions with the client to get a sense of any issues, MGA’s consultants leverage MGA’s discovery diagnostic scripts, integrated knowledge base, and domain expertise to perform a comprehensive assessment.
