First up, a blog post discussed improving SQL Server security through [instance hiding or disabling the SQL Browser service](. Instance hiding provides stronger security by completely hiding instances from unauthorized users. However, disabling the Browser is easier to implement. Choose based on your specific infrastructure and application needs. Next, we looked at leveraging historical performance data to prevent future SQL Server issues. While built-in tools like Database Engine Tuning Advisor and Profiler are useful, the post recommends [SQL Diagnostic Manager]( as an efficient solution for spotting [historical trends]( and pinpointing problems early. Speaking of [SQL Diagnostic Manager](, it's a robust SQL Server monitoring tool that helps optimize performance and prevent issues before they occur. Definitely check it out if you need to monitor SQL Server activity! Finally, my popular 4-hour [Comprehensive Database Performance Health Check]( service deeply analyzes and resolves SQL Server performance problems. I mentor you to gain skills for tuning your databases independently. Excitingly, I am offering a 33% discount on this service for the rest of August 2023! As you can see, many options exist for boosting SQL Server performance, security and gaining valuable skills. Stay tuned for more news on optimization best practices!
