A Database That Stays Healthy
Ongoing administration for production databases: performance tuning, backups, replication, patching and capacity planning, so the database stays healthy without an in-house DBA.
50+ ERP and software projects. Zero failed projects since 2021.
A production database rarely fails without warning
Slow queries, growing storage and untested backups tend to show early signs long before an outage. Ongoing administration catches those signs while they are still routine work.
Slow queries found before they become an incident
Query performance is monitored on a routine basis, so a slow query is caught and tuned during normal review rather than during an outage.
- Routine monitoring of query performance.
- Indexing and query rewrites where they help.
- Findings explained back to your team.
Backups that are actually verified to restore
Backups are checked on a schedule and restore tests run periodically, and replication is monitored so a standby is ready if the primary ever needs it.
- Backup checks on a set schedule.
- Periodic restore testing.
- Replication lag monitored continuously.
Each area checked against a clear standard, not a guess
Illustrative example. Your actual health review reflects the databases and engines in your environment.
From an initial health check to a routine review cycle

How Database Administration Works
From an initial health check to a routine review cycle. Here is how we handle performance, backups, replication, patching and capacity.
Tuning, backups and capacity, reviewed on a schedule
Slow queries caught during routine review
Query performance is monitored on a routine basis, with slow queries profiled and addressed through indexing, query rewrites or configuration changes.
- Routine monitoring of query performance.
- Indexing and query rewrites where they help.
- Findings explained back to your team.
Backups verified, not just scheduled
Backups are checked on a set schedule with periodic restore testing, and replication is monitored so a standby is ready if the primary ever needs it.
- Backup checks on a set schedule.
- Periodic restore testing.
- Replication lag monitored continuously.
Patches on a schedule, capacity planned ahead
Security and version patches are applied in an agreed maintenance window, and storage, connection and load growth are tracked ahead of any approaching limit.
- Patches applied on a scheduled window.
- Growth tracked against current capacity.
- Limits flagged before they become incidents.
