How Remote DBA+ works
This service provides expert guidance while you design and build your Informix systems, and provides continual monitoring and DBA services in your live environment. This means your Informix systems are managed and looked after from the word go.
Remote DBA+ uses AGS Sentinel, over a secure network connection, to monitor your system’s performance and measure it against a number of key indicators. Sentinel delivers a wealth of information, which we interpret into meaningful results and document in a monthly report. This report details your system’s operations and informs you of any work we’ve carried out - giving you valuable information on your Informix environment’s status, capacity and performance.
Remote DBA+ is unobtrusive and discreet; your DBA activities are taken care of so you can get on with your business as normal.
The Details
Remote DBA+ extends our Remote DBA service to include database design, installation, migration and configuration services, back-up and recovery planning, and space management and capacity planning. This means your Informix environments are planned, monitored and managed in a way that delivers the best results to you.
Proactive Protection
Remote DBA+ proactively predicts, analyses, prevents and rectifies anomalies in your Informix environment. It ensures your database is safeguarded and takes the worry away from you. This remote service protects you from performance issues, database downtime and data loss – and therefore protects you from reduced customer service, lost sales, damaged reputation, loss of connectivity, loss of data and loss of money.
Pool of Skills
Remote DBA+ delivers a round the clock Informix DBA and technical support experts to your organisation – at a much lower cost than recruiting your own skills. Your Remote DBA+ team has well over 50 years Informix technical experience and can leverage this pool of knowledge and expertise in the most cost effective way. Rather than employing, training and scheduling this level of cover inhouse, Remote DBA+ provides active, engaged team members who are available whenever you and your Informix systems need them.
Remote DBA+ is delivered remotely so you don’t incur additional expenses, while our straightforward charging structure means you know exactly what you’re paying for. If you do need any additional work, our sub-hourly charging and detailed reports mean you know exactly what you’re paying for, and can clearly see the results of the services.
Designed for Your Business
At the beginning of your Remote DBA engagement it is crucial for us to understand out how Informix supports your organisation, and how it fits into your wider IT environment. We can then design and plan the optimum Informix set-up for your business. This information also means that we can interpret the interpret Sentinel’s findings in a way that is relevant to you, and align your database management to your business needs.
