DB24 AiQ, Elevate Your
    SQL Server Game

    Aggregated Instance Quality (AiQ) provides a clear, unified score for each of your SQL Server instances, reflecting their current health, configuration, and performance.

    These scores are calculated from a wide range of metrics and best-practice checks. Think of AiQ as your SQL health coach, it highlights instances that may need attention and uncovers opportunities to optimize your data platform.

    Why AiQ Matters

    Managing SQL Servers can be complex, with dozens of settings, patch levels, and performance metrics to keep track of. AiQ simplifies this by turning technical complexity into a single, actionable score, so you can:

    • See Your Entire Landscape at a Glance. Quickly identify which instances are healthy and which need attention.
    • Prioritize with Confidence. Focus your time where it matters most, guided by objective scoring.
    • Track Improvements Over Time. Watch your scores improve as you apply DB24's recommendations.
    • Align with Best Practices. AiQ is built on industry standards and Microsoft guidelines, so you stay future-proof.

    How AiQ Works

    We Collect Metrics

    DB24 continuously gathers instance, and database-level information from your SQL Servers.

    We Apply Best Practices

    Each metric is compared against Microsoft and industry best practices across areas like configuration, performance, security, and availability.

    We Calculate Your Score

    Results are aggregated into a single AiQ score (0–10), grouped by key categories such as Storage, Security, Performance, Backup & Recovery, and more.

    We Provide Recommendations

    You get clear, actionable suggestions on how to raise your score and keep your environment healthy.
