  • Design for business requirements
    • Business to data translations, identify which SQL Server components to use to support business requirements, design a normalisation area, de-normalise technically (versus by remodelling) by using SQL Server features (materialisation via indexed views and more)
  • Design SQL Server instances
    • Identify hardware for new instances; design CPU affinity; design clustered instances using Microsoft Distributed Transaction Control (MSDTC); define instance memory allocation; design installation strategies, including sysprep, slipstream and SMB file server; define cross db ownership chaining
  • Design backup and recovery
    • Design a backup strategy based on business needs, including differential, file, log, striped and Microsoft Azure Blob Storage Service; design a database snapshot strategy; design appropriate recovery models; design a system database backup strategy; recover Tail-Log backups
  • Design a database model
    • Design a logical schema; design a data access and data layer architecture; design a database schema; design a security architecture; design a cross-server instance database model, including linked servers, security, providers, distributed transactions, distributed partitioned views and Service Broker

  • Design a solution to monitor performance and concurrency
    • Identify performance monitor counters; monitor for performance and bottlenecks, including Wait Stats; design a query monitoring and review strategy; monitor for missing statistics
  • Design a monitoring solution at the instance level
