Database Services

How well your Oracle databases are managed and designed? Is your database is configured to meet service level agreements? Mostly enterprise application's performance is dependant on the underlying database. Poorly designed and maintained database not only adversely impact performance of the application but also risk loosing important business data. Ability to assess and understand customer's expectations and translating it to requirements, comes with relevant experience of technology and industry and this ability differentiate ORAXperts consultants among other.

Our consultants have in depth knowledge of Oracle RDBMS kernel and have worked under various flavours of UNIX operating system with specific expertise in Real Application Clustering, Grid Computing, High Availability, Database Performance Tuning and Health Checks, Root Cause Analysis and SQL Tuning. Our database consultants have assisted major banks and telcos in Australia to efficiently managing their large enterprise database systems and have also helped them to design and build business critical enterprise database systems. Typical engagements in Oracle database space are root cause analysis, pro-active database performance review, consultation on setting up large grid computing systems using Oracle technologies and setting up Oracle database as a service. Our Database Services include:

Oracle Database Health Check

ORAXperts consultant collects and review database performance data, log files and other critical system parameters to provide recommendation report on the overall health of the Oracle database system. Oracle specialist reviews database alert logs, relevant trace files, AWR reports and operating system log files. This services covers both Oracle standalone and RAC (Real Application Cluster) databases. In case of Oracle RAC database, Oracle database specialist also review Oracle Grid Infrastructure log files, performance of interconnect and important RAC database metrics.

Oracle Database Design

Careful considerations must be taken while designing the Oracle database because a database application's performance is directly dependant on how effectively the database is designed. Our database consultant analyses the database performance, availability and scalability requirements along with the physical database design considerations to design the Oracle database. Oracle database designing requires extensive Oracle database skills and industry experience to understand application's performance requirement and design the database accordingly. ORAXperts consultants have in-depth knowledge of Oracle RDBMS kernel and associated database high availability and scalability products such as Oracle Dataguard, Grid Infrastructure and Real Application Clustering. ORAXperts consultants may assist customer identifying best Oracle database products, which meets customer's high availability and scalability requirements.

Pro-active Database Support

Our database consultant periodically reviews critical performance statistics of Oracle database along with other important database and operating system log files to assess overall performance and health of the Oracle database system. This pro-active service enables customers to have access to our database expert who understands customer's database system and keep customer updated about current findings and areas of the database system that require further configuration changes and improvements.

Oracle Database Build

Our database consultant are capable of building any complex enterprise database system either using customer provided design document where customer's technical team has prepared the database design document or customer can engage ORAXperts to design and build complex enterprise database system. Our database consultants have expertise designing and building large enterprise database systems including Oracle Real application Clustering, Data Guard, Golden Gate and Oracle Clusterware.

Database as a service (DBaaS)

To ensure timely availability of information, organizations often spend a large portion of their time, resources and money to create what amounts to individual information silos, with distinct requirements, configurations, and support models. Historically, production environments have been configured for peak load, peak performance and uninterrupted business continuity. They have been shadowed by multiple development, testing, quality assurance environments that mirror various aspects of their production counterparts. The acquisition and ongoing maintenance and support costs associated with this approach are significant and are often repeated for each business application.

DBaaS affords organizations an opportunity to standardize and optimize on a platform that eliminates the need to deploy, manage and support dedicated database hardware and software for each project’s multiple development, testing, production, and failover environments. DBaaS architectures are inherently designed for elasticity and resource pooling. DBaaS environments can deliver production and non-production database services that support average daily workload requirements while scaling- up to handle increased demand and scaling-down when that demand has subsided.

DBaaS is implemented using Oracle's proved grid computing technologies such as Oracle Clusterware, Automatic Storage Management and Real Application Clustering. ORAXperts database consultants have years of experience designing and building such large database platforms. ORAXperts consultant/s interact with customer's technical team to understand customer's requirement and design this platform from a database service perspective allowing multiple databases with similar service level agreements to be consolidated thus providing better database service at lesser OPEX and CAPEX.
