Database Management - DBAdirect - Staying Up

For most businesses, doubtless including yours, data is a strategic asset – driving smarter decisions, improving operational efficiencies and enhancing customer service. An asset far too valuable to be taken for granted.

That’s why today’s data management challenges now span the increasingly complex Oracle and Microsoft landscapes, including:

• Centralised and available data
• Large transactions available in real time
• Mission-critical analytics and data warehousing
• Leveraging data in remote offices and on mobile devices
• Secure and protected data
• Disaster prevented data

DBAdirect – 24*7 database support at its most cost-effective
You know only too well that managing a database means managing peaks and troughs – what with variable workloads, holidays, sickness, training and the rest. That’s why we developed DBAdirect – our unique outsourced database management service that puts an end to inefficiency and waste.

With its 24*7 option, DBAdirect gives you access to skilled and certified Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server DBAs both remotely and onsite. You purchase DBA resource in 15-minute ‘chunks’, giving you all the resource you need – whenever you need it. It’s like having a dynamic resource pool but at a fraction of the expense of hiring full-time, permanent staff.

How come?
Automation and economies of scale. By providing our customers with automated monitoring and alerting, via secure email and SMS, any one of our experienced DBAs can effectively care for multiple databases concurrently from our London HQ. Whenever alerts or potential problems are detected within a monitored database, they login into your system and are usually be able to resolve the problem with a routine DBA maintenance task.
