DATABASE SERVICES

For many organizations data has become highly valuable and business critical asset. Traditionally it has been the responsibility of the Database Administrators (DBA) to maintain the databases and the infrastructure to keep the data available to business.

 

WHY USE CLOUD DATABASE ADMINISTRATION AS A SERVICE?

• Your data is highly valuable business asset and should be looked after by a multi data- and cloud platform team of professionals
• Databases are a critical component in the cloud infrastructure in the world of data-centric applications, Boreal IT Solutions DBAs work to ensure that your data is always available.
• Modern data estates are not just relational. More purpose built databases, e.g. graph, time-series and globally scaled non-relational databases, are used. To effectively administer all these, you need multi cloud- and data platform competent team
• Full stack development inevitably leads to more databases being deployed into production, but developers aren’t necessarily skilled administrators
• Hyperscalers like Amazon, Google and Microsoft have become leading providers of database platforms. You need to secure competences to perform migrations, not just to cloud but also cross-data platforms.

As businesses grow more dependent on the availability and correctness of their data and require deeper understanding of the data platform options on public cloud platforms, we at Boreal IT Solutions provide a Cloud Database Admistration Service to ensure just that.

With the introduction of the public cloud and cloud native technologies, we can clearly see a paradigm shift in the work and the responsibilities of the DBA. The focus is moving away from operating and managing on-premise platforms, towards supporting applications, managing vendors, costs and working on data management – supporting the business growth of the company.
