Moving UP - DSP move our clients’ businesses ‘up’ by leveraging technology for a compelling and competitive return.

Our mission: low-cost high availability
At DSP, we consider poor system performance to be downtime. That’s why we’ve transformed the ‘art’ of performance-tuning into a science – guaranteeing you an optimised, high availability system to meet your service levels. But not at any price. In fact, we see to it that our clients lower their costs at the same time.

Combining scalability, availability and infrastructure agility – to simplify your IT landscape and keep costs to a minimum. What’s more, database consolidation can reduce the costs of supporting your IT infrastructure, while allowing you to adapt to change faster.

>> DSP Oracle Technology Fact Sheet

A track record we’re proud of
DSP have been building grids since the earliest technology versions, so we truly understand how to deploy Oracle to leverage all its benefits. We’re also one of only a handful of Oracle partners worldwide that have successfully deployed Oracle stretch RAC in an extended distance configuration – rather than the legacy active-standby configuration. This can provide the ‘holy grail’ of disaster tolerance coupled to full utilisation of all computing resources.

Disaster Recovery you can rely on
A DR plan is central to most organisations’ corporate governance plans, but more than that – it’s essential for your peace of mind. But only if it’s effective. At DSP we’ll design and implement one for you that fits your budget, meets your service levels and works perfectly.

Watertight security
As the boundaries between networks have become less defined – and web applications provide direct routes through firewalls into backend databases – hundreds of vulnerabilities are uncovered each day, leaving businesses open to attacks from both outside and inside their organisation. Indeed, industry figures indicate that 70% of attacks are internal.

That’s why DSP provide a range of security services, including comprehensive security vulnerability audit, penetration testing and critical patch update implementation, to ensure the safety of your Oracle environment.

Effective Healthchecks to know where you stand
Our comprehensive Healthchecks analyse your database and server for existing and potential high-risk problems. The reports produced also highlight achievable performance gains and administrative improvements, along with recommendations covering structure and performance, allowing DBAs to easily rectify problems and carry out improvements. Our Server Healthcheck is also available as a standalone service.

Pain-free Installation, Upgrade & Design
At DSP we’ve been designing, deploying, upgrading and supporting database architectures from the earliest Oracle and Microsoft Releases to the latest ones too. And it is this depth of experience that allows us to balance cost, availability, performance, scalability, security and manageability to meet all your service level goals.

Compliance & Optimisation
Whether you are planning on implementing new technology, adding licenses, customising an existing database, or wanting to ensure license compliance, DSP can not only save you time and money but provide reassurance that you are meeting your obligations.

A powerful combination
Our success is founded on three principles that run through our DNA: people, process and product. For starters, we only employ top-drawer consultants in both managed and professional services, however long it takes to find them. And then we keep them ! Plus our services are greatly enhanced by an exceptional systems management solution that enables extra pro-activity and strong SLA performance. And underpinning it all is our dedication to continuous improvement of procedures and SLAs.
