Lower DBA Cost
Our remote DBA service can reduce your database administration costs by up to 70%. These savings result from eliminating the costs associated with hiring, training, and retaining in-house DBAs.
When you hire an internal DBA, you pay salary, benefits, and 401K packages. You also pay for vacation, holidays, sick days and training days. When you buy a single DBA resource, you only get a single set of database knowledge and skill.
Remote DBA Experts' service delivery model enables you to leverage the expertise of our entire DBA team for a low monthly fee.
Our customers save money by leveraging our Mopsus monitoring infrastructure, database administration expertise backed by dozens of DBA professionals, and our robust library of documented best practices. Since the support blueprint is already in place, companies employing Remote DBA Experts do not have to spend the additional monies required to create their own.
Higher Database Availability
In today's global economy, continuous database availability is critical to the success and survivability of your business. Faced with shrinking IT budgets and a shortage of skilled DBA resources, you are challenged to provide 24x7x365 support for your mission-critical applications.
Implementing high availability options alone will not ensure maximum database availability. Optimal availability results from strategic planning, proper implementation of high availability options, and ongoing administration and monitoring efforts that focus on critical availability elements.
Remote DBA Experts takes a strategic approach to availability with our 24x7x365 AlwaysOn capabilities. Our team of certified DBAs provides around-the-clock monitoring and support for your database environment.
Our strategic performance management approach starts with the initial database assessment Remote DBA Experts conducts on your database environment at the beginning of our engagement.
The database environment assessment is the foundation of our quality improvement efforts. It provides us with valuable data that enables us to ascertain the baseline conditions of the customer's database environment. We use this baseline as a starting point from which to achieve our strategic goals of 100% reliability and high performance.
The assessment is accomplished by executing an in-depth, critical analysis of the database under review. Remote DBA Experts technicians identify issues, categorize them according to importance and create an action plan to correct them. The database architecture (file layout, memory structures, system storage objects, database engine settings) and application objects are evaluated both individually and how they interact with each other as a group. Monitoring practices of key performance indicators (a must for maintaining optimal performance) are also assessed.
Once we have established an evaluation baseline, we work with the customer to develop a strategy to implement the recommendations contained in the assessment. Steps are then taken to monitor, and manage availability using our Mopsus™ product and our Proactive Monitoring Process. The Mopsus™ architecture, combined with our systematic approach to monitoring, enables us to proactively manage your databases and prevent availability problems before they occur.
When availability problems do occur, Remote DBA Experts has developed a set of procedures and templates to ensure that all support administrators follow a standardized tuning process that is designed to collect the right data at the right time. Administrators following the procedure begin by identifying and quantifying the overall negative impact of the performance problem and then perform additional data gathering activities to collect more in-depth data for review. Administrators involved in the tuning process are able to leverage the collective knowledge of the group to reduce the amount of time required to solve the problem. That is what our AlwaysOn™ approach is all about!
All of our database professionals work directly out of our Pittsburgh Operations Center. By centralizing our operations, we deliver peace of mind to our customers whose databases are supported 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by our team of DBA experts.
Better Database Performance
Database performance is dependent upon a myriad of factors. Many of which can not be controlled. Creating optimally performing environments requires strategic and careful planning, constant monitoring of key performance indicators and proactive management of critical configuration parameters.
