RDS SQL Server consulting offer

Choose the engagement that fits your team.

Start with a focused automated assessment. Add expert interpretation, validation, or implementation planning only when the customer or workload needs it.

Layer 1 · Primary offer

Automated Optimization Assessment

Upload a completed collector ZIP and receive the primary target, confidence, guardrail results, rejected alternatives, and next-action guidance.

Start Layer 1 Assessment

Customer-controlled evidence

Download Collector

One download, one starter script -- it asks which evidence to collect and walks you through it. Choose the SQL option for the most complete evidence (needs read-only SQL Server access), or the CloudWatch option if you would rather not grant SQL Server access (needs only read-only AWS access).

Layer 2 · Optional escalation

Expert Validation and Deep Dive

Use expert consulting for validation-required opportunities, unusual workloads, implementation planning, or a customer-requested technical review.
