5 Reasons Your Business Needs Remote DBA Support

‍

Are you struggling to modernize and scale your business because you don’t have the proper talent and resources? You’re not alone. As budgets tighten and resources continue to be evaluated, one thing remains consistent for IT leaders; their databases are critical to their business goals and overall success. You need experts with database experience, but it’s hard to find the right talent when resources are scarce and costly. As a result, businesses are increasingly turning to Managed Service Providers (MSPs) to get the most out of their databases for a price that fits their budget. Check out our blog below to find out the five reasons your business should leverage an MSP like DataStrike for remote DBA support.

‍

What is Remote DBA Support?

‍

Remote DBA support is provided by an MSP, like DataStrike, to augment your existing team’s workloads and alleviate the pressure they may be experiencing. Businesses like yours are hosting and accumulating so much data on a daily basis, which can make it hard for your team to keep up.  

‍

Your database needs white-glove expertise to remain effective in today’s data-driven world, and an MSP ensures your systems run smoothly so you don’t experience continuity issues. Our experts have decades of hands-on experience handling databases, which need consistent monitoring to ensure no system errors occur or create unnecessary downtime.

‍

Downtime can lead to a variety of issues, like data exposure and customer trust issues, which can damage your business reputation. On average, downtime can cost your business $7,900 a minute, with the average downtime lasting nearly 90 minutes. Remote DBA support helps to fix this issue and includes a packaged deal of database management, monitoring, support, and more.

‍

You gain access to a team of certified experts who will become a strategic extension of your team. So, what are some of the benefits you will experience leveraging a remote DBA?

‍

1. Scalability

‍

With more data comes more responsibility for your internal IT team. More demand can be great, but it often creates much more work for them to tackle. Remote DBA support from DataStrike will help your IT team to tackle these new challenges.  

‍

With all of this new, in-house data, you can scale your data up and down as you wish. This new type of flexibility gives your business more options. If you experience an influx of data coming in, you have the opportunity to scale down to accommodate this new type of demand.

‍

No longer will your team feel a workload burden, as our experts will come in to augment existing workloads.

2. Cost-Reduction

‍

Another noticeable advantage of having remote DBA support comes down to the fact an external team is much cheaper than your in-house team. You don’t have to pay our experts benefits, you won’t have to recruit new members to your team who will have knowledge or skill gaps, and we don’t take vacations.  

‍

We’re here to make your life easier. With 24x7 support and monitoring of your databases, you’ll never have to worry about downtime again and your employees can rest more easily.  

‍

3. Security and Compliance

‍

Security breaches and compliance violations can devastate a business. Remote DBA support from DataStrike ensures your databases are protected with robust security measures, proactive threat detection, and timely updates to safeguard sensitive information.  

‍

We also ensure your systems meet industry-specific compliance standards, reducing the risk of costly penalties or reputation damage. By outsourcing database management to a trusted MSP, you can rest assured that your data is in safe hands, and your business is protected from potential vulnerabilities.

‍

4. Problem Resolution

‍

Databases require constant monitoring to identify and address potential issues before they escalate into major problems. With remote DBA support, skilled professionals watch over your systems closely. They use advanced tools to find errors and performance issues early.  

‍

This proactive approach reduces downtime and prevents disruptions. This helps keep your operations running smoothly and improves customer satisfaction.

‍

5. Access to Expertise

‍

When you partner with DataStrike for remote DBA support, you gain access to a team of seasoned professionals with extensive knowledge across various database platforms. From performance optimization to disaster recovery planning, our experts bring a wealth of experience that enhances your database operations.

‍

Instead of struggling to find and train in-house specialists, you can rely on our team to handle even the most complex database challenges with precision and efficiency.

‍
