DBA SUPPORT

A database administrator (DBA) is responsible for configuring and managing the databases that run on the server.

In contrast, under the DBaaS model, the provider maintains the system infrastructure and database and delivers it as a fully managed cloud service. The service covers high-level administrative functions, such as database installation, configuration, maintenance and upgrades. Additional tasks, such as backups, patching and performance management, are also typically handled by the provider.

If your company does not currently have the number of database administrators (DBAs) needed to provide database services such as ongoing monitoring, troubleshooting and maintenance, you and your company can succeed with the support of third-party DBAs.

Why is database administration important today?
Supporting and assisting your DBAs is important because of the tasks your technicians have to perform today, including:

  ▸ Determine the needs of database users.
  ▸ Designing and creating databases.
 ▸ Ensuring the security of databases.
  ▸ Backing up and restoring data.
  ▸ Troubleshooting and increasing the efficiency of databases.
  ▸ Modifying and testing database structures.

These database management tasks are important, if any are not being performed in a timely and efficient manner, there is a good reason to seek the support of an external DBA.

When databases experience performance or security issues, having the right DBA support is vitally important. A database error could slow down day-to-day tasks across the enterprise, just as security issues pose a risk of fines and damages

How can we help you solve these and other problems?
Some of the common database performance problems are relatively easy to solve, if the DBA has the right experience, expertise and commitment. If your organization is small, you may not have any full-time DBAs on staff.
In the case of a larger company, there may be some DBA presence, but not enough to provide round-the-clock service or respond to more serious problems.

Investing in our DBA support can solve database management problems, such as:

Database performance issues: Can be caused, from a data filtering problem to a more central problem with database code, which can be diagnosed and resolved through effective DBA support.
Frequent error messages: If your company experiences problems such as permissions errors, data corruption or others that cause system crashes, it is important to have the support of a database administration specialist to fix them.
Lack of ongoing monitoring and maintenance: Effective database monitoring and maintenance is necessary to prevent performance crashes or more serious problems that cause problems for the company as a whole. Working with outside DBA support staff is one way to fill any gaps in the database support staff.
