The solution can be deployed within a few minutes.

We implement this solution for our customers, although we do not support the hardware. The hosting companies are available for that. When we move to cloud-based deployment, that will be handled by companies like Microsoft with Azure.

Our customers will also have the choice of a local hosting company that is cheaper than Azure. Most of our clients host their cloud-based solutions there because it's cheaper. They also look after the hardware, operating systems, and other such things. What we see is a remote desktop sitting on top of a server, and that is the starting point for us to deploy. If we want more memory or more CPU cores then we talk to the hosting company.

Pretty much all of our deployments run on VMs.

In terms of maintenance, it's normal. SQL Server has patches and updates. The hosting company is responsible for applying those. Then, you have new releases.

When there is a new release, we have to sit down and plan for those because they need to be properly tested. Occasionally, new releases cause problems and don't work.

When automatic updates happen, we don't let the system just update itself. We have particular times where we maintain things. We have to pick a slot where we cannot have people using it, which is usually on a Sunday or something else like that. Then, we'll apply the updates.

We handled the entire deployment in-house. We did not need an integrator or consultant to assist us.

It was done in-house with the help of our vendor. They have Microsoft-certified people. I have also worked on SQL Server for a long time, so we have an idea of how to migrate from one database to another. It was not a big issue for us.

At present, we have five people for its maintenance.

We did the deployment of the solution and we have a team of 15 people doing the deployment and maintenance.

The deployment was done by a single person, in-house. 

I can do it by myself.

We implemented this solution by ourselves.

Deployment was done in-house.

I don't recall any help from people in the university who had the knowledge to support a student who was doing it for the course I was teaching. Sometimes these students have plenty of experience in their own professional job and they bring it to class to help succeed with the effort.

It can take an hour to an hour and a half to deploy.

Maintaining it is more challenging than the initial setup. One of the main concerns is ensuring sufficient memory allocation. The default capacity is typically set around sixty, but it can be increased if needed. If there is insufficient memory, it can lead to server downtime and cancellation of transactions, as exceeding the memory limit poses a risk. Therefore, it becomes crucial to address this issue by allocating more memory resources. Additionally, backups and restores play a significant role in ensuring data safety and recovery in case of any issues.

We had a consultant that assisted us with the implementation. They were very helpful and made the implementation very simple.

We implement our solutions to the client site.

Installation can be done on one's own. Everything can be done sequentially, from one thing to the next. 

The solution was deployed in-house.

We did not use an integrator for the deployment. Our in-house team has been able to deploy the tool well.

We handed the implementation on our own. 

This involved a technical team of 15 people. 

It was an in-house job. In terms of maintenance, the number of staff members required would depend on the implementation. It requires coordination amongst teams. It is a team effort. The database administrator creates and runs the jobs that create the backup file. You need to have somebody for copying the backup files to offline storage. You also need to have system administrators for setting up the hardware.

Implementation was a joint effort with our team and the vendor team. Most of the vendor team was India based and was very low-level for best practices and security. We had to clean up a bunch of their generic implementations and correct code.

Most of the time we are doing the implementation from scratch. If it's a big bank, then they would normally have dedicated people who deal with SQL. However, it depends on the customer.

There is some maintenance that is required, such as updates and tuning. We need to find ways of filling up the data so that it doesn't get stale but normally with regular updates, you should be fine.

We have technical managers and engineers that do the maintenance and support for this solution.

The solution can be installed by our selves but the use of an integrator makes it much easier. 

For its deployment and maintenance, two people are required at each location. We have one database specialist and one IT service delivery engineer with networking knowledge.

Our in-house team deployed it by researching how to perform the setup and configuration. As a developer, I just let them know what I need from the product. For example, for my role, I have a lot of writes and I want them to optimize for that situation.

If there are some simple features that I just want to enable, then I can do that myself.

We had assistance with our deployment and the experience was very good.

Initially, we used a consultant to set up our ERP system, but that was 12 years ago. Since then, we've upgraded it several times, and that was done in-house. Our experience with the consultant was overall positive.

For its maintenance, we are a department of two.

I didn't need the assistance of consultants or integrators. It was something I could handle on my own. 

I did the installation myself. It's not hard to do. You don't need a consultant or integrator.

We have four technicians that do the implementation and maintenance of the solution.

We used in-house developers and had some consultation from Microsoft.

We have a team of approximately five database administrators and application developers who handle the setup and maintenance of the solution.

I installed the entire solution myself within 20-50 minutes.

I installed it myself.

We had assistance from our vendor. We consider our vendor nimble and best in class. They contributed greatly to the stable running of the platform.

I have installed SQL databases and SQL Servers regularly. I did the implementation of this solution.

This solution requires one administrator for implementation and maintenance.

We implemented this solution through an in-house team. 

We did not use an integrator, we have an in-house team to install and implement this solution.

I can handle the installation myself. I did not need the help of a consultant or integrator. However, whoever installs it must be somebody who has the technical knowledge. Not everybody can do it.

I was able to install the solution myself. I did not need the assistance of an integrator or consultant.

We completed the implementation ourselves.

We have a team of 34 admins and engineers to deploy and maintain this solution.

We had help through the Microsoft team.

I have seen everything. It always depends on people skills. To get full performance from the SQL Server you need a well prepared environment and hard team work. 

We implemented it entirely in-house.  

We have two administrators that did the implementation of the solution.

We have administrators and engineers that do support the solution.

My position is not related to installation, but if it is necessary, I am capable of doing it.

We have a team of three people doing the backend maintenance and application support for this solution.

We made use of an integrator.

There is not much technical team required for the deployment and maintenance. It consists solely of engineers.

I'm working with Microsoft solutions in Sri Lanka. We have a technical team for the DB side only - Microsoft SQL Servers, Azure platform, SQL servers. All of those have a security device. And as I mentioned, installation is per requirement. There is no need for a couple of engineers for that.

In terms of maintenance after the deployment, it also varies depending on the number of databases.

We did the implementation of SQL Server in-house. We have eight people managing the solution. The team includes managers, technicians, and administrators.

We had assistance from an integrator.

Our IT team handles the installation.

We have four technicians that do the deployment and maintenance of the solution.

I have done the installation many times by myself.

As a cloud-based product, there are no special resources required for maintenance. Once you deploy it, you just want to make sure that the data is displayed or presented in the way that you want it. Most of the technical work is handled by Microsoft.

We had an integrator deliver the solution to us, as we are not ourselves developers.

We have some people who have worked in IT and with endpoint software. I believe my team is capable of handling the new software, and solutions.

We have our in-house team of more than 10 engineers for maintenance.

Our in-house team is handling the deployment.

I have used both in-house, and vendor teams for implementation, both with very high levels of expertise into different aspects of database development.

We have internal staff for its implementation. We have a team of about three or four people who are well-versed with SQL Server, and we have 30 to 40 users who use this solution.

We have an installer available to us that can guide us through the process and help us choose the right options. 

We did not have deployment/implementation issues.

We implemented with an in-house team only, with proper, prior training that was also done in-house.

We implemented SQL ourselves, and it took around a week to install.

My understanding is that the company handled the installation internally. However, I was only recently hired. 

I handled the installation myself. I did not need the help of an integrator or consultant.

I handled the implementation myself. It's pretty easy, and not too technical, and therefore I didn't need the assistance of any consultants or integrators.
