A properly monitored database does what every executive wishes a database would do: provide data without making a fuss about it. Ensuring that your database does not fail and that failures that do happen are as short as possible, can improve productivity of your employees, increase internet based revenue, and protect the image of the company.
Our services are particularly valuable to smaller companies that can't justify a full time DBA, while larger companies will appreciate the quality of our work. With us, you can get the most skilled service available while only paying for what you need.
Below is a list of advantages to our monitoring service.

The first thing our analysts will do is create a scheduled maintenance plan for your database. This plan includes all the necessary routine maintenance to keep your database running at its best. Some of the considerations planned for are truncating the error log, truncating the backup history, defragmenting the hard drives, optimizing and reorganizing data tables and indexes, updating use statistics, and performing data integrity checks. Such a plan produces reliability so that most problems never occur.

There is a better way to find out that your database is having trouble than a flood of employees complaining of being unable to do their jobs, or worse yet by realizing there haven't been any online sales in a while. Our analysts don't just respond when you tell us there is a problem, we pride ourselves in being the first ones to realize there is a problem. If we are having a very good day, we may even fix it before anyone even notices.
Our analysts will check all of your scheduled routines to ensure that they ran when they should have and that they ran correctly. They will test your server for responsiveness, performance, and locking.

Small companies often have trouble justifying a full time database administrator due to the lack of available work. They either pay a full-time salary for a part-time job, or go without one and suffer the consequences of an unmanaged database. By paying hourly for only the service that you need, you ensure that whatever your size, you get quality service for a fair price.
Large and small companies alike benefit from having our team of professionals available. Every company that supports itself must find a balance between the level of service it needs and what it can afford. Database administrators are the first line of responders when things go wrong. Most companies must choose between having a sluggish response when things go wrong, or having more administrators than they know what to do with when things are going well. By paying by the hour, a company ensures that it always has sufficient staff to respond to its problems promptly while not paying for service it doesn't need.
