Q: Why should I buy your services when I can get Oracle’s free 2-Day DBA online tutorial?

Oracle, as well as other RDBMS, can be complex in setting up for the first time and a migration from one database package to another can certainly be very complex. If you are setting up a small database for the first time, then the Oracle free training may be a good decision for you, but there is no substitute for experience. Should you decide to undertake the project on your own, we will still be available to assist you should you need it. While installation procedures and tools have gotten better, Oracle Corp still states, “79% of all Oracle outages are attributed to human error.”

Q: Do you work with any outsourced data centers?

Yes, we work with some of the largest data center providers in the nation. We provide our customers with remote system and database administration and monitoring and work closely with your outsource data center partner.

Q: If I outsource my database administration work, won’t I create security issues?

The main concern is whom you outsource your DBA work to. In a Forrester study among IT decision makers in companies with more than $500 Million in revenue, the respondents indicated they were concerned about placing their critical data in the hands of someone overseas. This is based on unclear government regulations regarding trade secrets and the hidden costs of doing business offshore. The study does conclude that outsourcing to a US domestic company provides real benefits. Based on the responses, those firms that outsource or plan to outsource their database activities indicated that a key benefit was cost savings. Certain DBA tasks, such as backup and recovery, monitoring, tuning, upgrades, and troubleshooting could be outsourced successfully.
