Why Database Administration with VN Softverg
Your database is the heart of your applications. When it slows down, every user notices. When it fails, the business stops. Yet many organizations rely on developers or a single overstretched DBA to keep critical databases healthy.
Our DBA team provides proactive administration for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB and MongoDB, on-premises and on cloud services such as Amazon RDS and Aurora, Azure SQL and Google Cloud SQL. We monitor performance, tune queries and indexes, manage backups and high availability, apply patches and plan capacity.
We also handle the big projects: version upgrades, cloud migrations, consolidations and high-availability designs with Always On, Data Guard or Patroni. Engagements range from on-demand DBA support to fully managed 24/7 coverage with defined SLAs.
