DATABASE HEALTH CHECK — TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS

    YOUR
    DATABASE

    LOOKS

    HEALTHY

    BUT ARE
    YOU SURE?

    Most serious database problems don't show up on dashboards — they accumulate silently for months before becoming an emergency. HTI's Health Check reveals what's hidden before it's too late.

    HAVE YOU FELT ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS?

    THE ENVIRONMENT DIDN'T BREAK. BUT SOMETHING ISN'T RIGHT.

    Database environments rarely break suddenly. They degrade. Slowly. Silently. And when they break, the cause was already there for months — nobody saw it.

    Reports that used to be fast now take minutes

    The query didn't change. The server didn't change. But something is different — and you don't know what.

    Your in-house DBA can't explain the slowness

    They check memory, CPU, disk — everything looks normal. But the application is still heavy. The problem is deeper.

    You've never done a formal environment diagnosis

    The database was configured years ago by someone who already left. Nobody knows for sure what's running, how it's configured, or what might be wrong.

    Data volume grew but infrastructure didn't change

    The database that worked fine with 10GB starts behaving unpredictably with 200GB. Nobody did the capacity planning.

    Small incidents that repeat without explanation

    Intermittent lock. Slowness on Friday afternoons. Sporadic timeout. Individually they seem trivial. Together, they're symptoms of something structural.

    A critical event approaching — migration, IPO, Black Friday

    You know a big demand is coming. And you need to be sure the database can handle it — not find out it can't on the day.

    If you recognized yourself in at least two of these scenarios, your environment needs a Health Check now — not after the problem becomes an emergency.

    METHODOLOGY

    IT'S NOT AN AUDIT. IT'S CLARITY.

    HTI's Health Check is not a generic checklist. It's a deep technical analysis by senior DBAs with 25,000 accumulated consulting hours — who have seen this scenario before and know exactly where to look. Instead of a compliance report, you receive a clear map of what's wrong, why it's wrong, and what to do — in order of priority.

    T1 — Collection

    Surgical metric capture

    Infrastructure statistics collected with zero impact on ongoing transactional operations. You don't stop — we analyze.

    T2 — Analysis

    Microscopic bottleneck identification

    CPU, I/O, locks, vulnerabilities, adherence to vendor best practices. We analyze what conventional dashboards don't show.

    T3 — Tuning

    Fine adjustments across three layers

    Operating System, File System, and Database — the three layers affecting performance are treated together, not in isolation.

    T4 — RAA

    Analysis Report delivery

    Complete architectural blueprint, environment documentation and corrective/preventive roadmap — with clear priorities and impact estimates.

    DELIVERABLE

    A MAP OF YOUR ENVIRONMENT.

    At the end of the Health Check, you have total clarity about the real state of your database — not assumptions, not guesses, not "it's probably this".

    01

    COMPLETE TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS

    Detailed analysis of performance, security, configuration, and integrity. Each problem identified with severity level — critical, high, medium, or low.

    02

    PRIORITIZED ACTION ROADMAP

    What to fix now, what can wait, and what is long-term structural improvement. Not a list — a logical execution sequence with estimated impact for each action.

    03

    SECURITY & LGPD ANALYSIS

    Access vulnerabilities, users with excessive privileges, sensitive data exposure, and adherence to Brazil's General Data Protection Law requirements.

    04

    CAPACITY PLANNING

    Data growth and resource consumption projection for the next 12 months — so you plan infrastructure before you need it, not after you suffer.

    REAL CASE

    WHAT A DIAGNOSIS PREVENTED.

    Technology company. Environment with SQL Server and MongoDB. Growing slowness, no internally identified cause. HTI's Health Check revealed what was hidden.

    65%

    Reduction in average latency of main applications after implementing recommendations

    40%

    Increase in transaction processing capacity — without adding hardware

    $ 2.5M

    In licenses and hardware that would have been purchased unnecessarily — avoided by the diagnosis

    "HTI identified a replication problem that caused up to 12-second delays in queries — which our internal team had been unable to locate in weeks of investigation. The fix resulted in a 45% performance gain."
