Consulting
Whether you are looking to embark on a new project or having problems with your current environement, Allan can help you. He provides top notch consulting at reasonable rates. Sample consulting engagments that Allan has done:
* SQL Server assessments/audits/health checks
* SQL Server architecture and deployment, including consolidaiton, high availability, and disk design
* Disaster recovery planning
* Performance tuning
* Project management
* Testing
* Mentoring

While clients may have similar needs, the solution is always different since each environment has unique aspects that must be taken into account. Allan does not have a "one size fits all" approach, and ensures that when he is done, the solution is cost-effective and can be administered and maintained going forward.

If your budget cannot include travel, Allan has worked with clients remotely. This can be a very cost-effective solution. Rates are available upon request, and there is no minimum that must be purchased. An engagement could be an hour ... or lots more.

Just let Allan know what you need, and get it scheduled!

Content Development and Review
Allan is an experienced writer and reviewer on all topics relating to SQL Server and can develop new content (whitepapers, training,magazine articles, et al.) or review/revise your new or old content . Many examples of his work are linked on this site to see the quality and depth of his skills.

Speaking/Events
Allan is available to speak at your event, conference, or user group. Contact with specific dates, and he will do his best to make it.

Training
Allan has written and delivered custom content, and is currently has two four-day courses ready for delivery: one on failover clustering and another on consolidation/virtualization course. If you are interested in having this class delivered, contact Allan. He is also coming up with other standard offerings, and can also deliver a customized course specific to your needs - it doesn't need to be clustering.

Training can be delivered remotely or onsite. Onsite is often the best option since it is hard to send resources out to external training.

Rates are available upon request, but are very reasonable.
