Why Interlink?

Many consulting companies know SQL. Some are up to speed on Azure and how to utilize Azure to benefit your SQL environment, and a few understand how to license these solutions appropriately - i.e. take into consideration the cost of licensing and help ensure that the customer stays compliant.

Interlink knows all three and can architect the right solution for your needs.

Architecture Expertise: We can design your environment to be highly available including the potential use of Azure for another data center location
Deep & Wide in SQL Ability: We have decades of experience in Microsoft SQL and the knowledge to guide you to make the right decision for your company
Azure Migration & Benefits Help: We can help you migrate to Azure and understand the benefits
Licensing Expertise: Interlink understands the licensing of SQL and architects solutions and is mindful of reducing SQL licensing costs

Countless consulting companies can sell PaaS but knowing how to integrate that with your SQL platform is what Interlink does. We properly size the Database Throughput Units (DTUs), which are based on a blended measure of CPU, memory, reads, and writes. By properly sizing DTUs in PaaS, we can help ensure you don’t under or over provision your processor, memory, and disk resources.

With Interlink, you can worry less about the management of your SQL platform and focus more on value-adds to your business.
