Since our focus is on Oracle database technology, our experienced consultants are well-versed in database management. We can assist you with production support and projects such as database tuning, troubleshooting, database installations and upgrades, patches, backup and recovery strategies, replication and high availability, capacity planning, and more.
Production Support
Our production support experience spans a large variety of environments—from small systems with little change to 24/7 multi-terrabyte systems that are very dynamic. Our services are provided remotely and can be offered onsite. We offer access to experts for shops without a DBA and can offload support tasks and the burden of 24/7 support for busy shops with DBA teams.
Database Installations and Upgrades
We frequently assist our clients with Oracle installations, upgrades, and migrations on most flavors of UNIX, including Solaris, Linux, HP-UX, and AIX. In addition, we work with Windows. We know that installing Oracle software involves more than just a "point and click" approach. Upgrades and migrations have to be planned for carefully. We take a methodical and conservative approach to ensure we take our clients through this process smoothly. The know-how to provide testing, planning, and validating is critical in getting through these processes smoothly.
Backup and Recovery Strategies
If you are like most of our clients, your data is critical to your business, and you can't risk data loss or downtime. We can develop your backup and recovery strategy and look at meeting high availability requirements and capacity planning. We work with huge production databases on a daily basis. We also do backup and recovery audits and testing to ensure your risk of any data loss is as low as possible.
Replication and High Availability
The technology in this area is varied, and we use our experience to ensure your business needs are met. We work with you to understand your high
availability requirements, and we'll develop and test a solution that best meets your needs.
Development Support
We work with your development team to ensure the code and queries accessing the database are well-written and scalable. We also have extensive knowledge of code that lies within the database, such as PL/SQL and often assist our clients in writing this or provide these database development services as a complement to our DBA services.
