Urgent help · Microsoft SQL Server

Is your SQL Server down or extremely slow?

Then a fast, reliable assessment is what counts. Call us or write to us. We take over the triage, as in an emergency room: assess, stabilize, find the cause.

Available Mon–Fri, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. CET/CEST

Like an emergency room

You get in touch. We organize the rest.

You do not have to assess the situation beforehand. That is our job.

  1. 01

    Check-in

    Call +49 40 39 88 28 75 or email info@psg.de. A few sentences about the situation are enough.

  2. 02

    Triage

    We ask targeted questions and assess how urgent it is and what has to happen first.

  3. 03

    Stabilize

    Immediate measures, agreed with you and with a clear way back. Often already via Teams or Zoom.

  4. 04

    Cause & follow-up

    We prove the cause so that the problem does not come back.
