Database Patching and upgrades are the ways to keep the database safe from the bugs and security issues. Oracle releases patches in every quarter which include the fixes for all the bugs reported till the time and the updates to major features for the better performance.
Our DBAs have profound knowledge and immense experience in performing database patching activities. We thoroughly test the entire activity in a test lab environment to assure the consistent database performance post patching.

Most commonly a business decides on database migration during introduction of a new datacenter, a new database technology or a new operating system platform. As most of the database migrations are associated with some changes in resources and environments, it is necessary to test the database functionality and performance on the new system or environment where the database is getting migrated to.
Our DBAs are masters in identifying the environmental and functional requirements before migrating the databases to a new environment. We have a team of database migration experts who can
One of the key features of our migration process is the complete activity which includes planning, preparation, testing, migrating, post migration monitoring are carried out with zero down time and no customer impact. Our DBAs use the combination of database high availability features and replication techniques to achieve this.
The quality of backup and disaster recovery strategies explain how prepared we are to safeguard our databases and business from a data loss caused by an unexpected failure or malfunction. Our DBAs use both Oracle inbuilt backup tools like RMAN and other external backup methods based on the operating system files. We decide and configure the frequency of the backup based on how transactional the databases are. Apart from regular health checks our DBAs monitor the backup status and validity and usability of backup files every time a backup process is initiated and completed.
The Disaster recovery strategy is completely based on the criticality of the database environment and the nature of business. Our DBAs are proficient in handling various disaster recovery methods using Oracle active data guard and goldengate replication.
Database replication is one of the effective ways to keep the database ready to handle any failure caused by human or system error. A failure can happen at the object level or database level. The replication supports both the object and database level synchronization of data and structure which enables the system to be robust during any unexpected failures.
We have a team of DBA experts who are Subject matter experts in the replication techniques like Goldengate and shareplex. We do the complete installation, configuration, testing, synchronization with no down time to the primary database. We have strong monitoring processes to check the replication heartbeat at regular intervals and troubleshoot any errors or synchronization issues.
Database security plays a vital role in keeping the database safe from the risk of data breach and losing the customer trust. Our DBAs always give high importance to protect customer data from any corruption, theft or leak. We use various Access controls using a number of authentication methods apart from database encryption and backup.
The database performance is the key factor every business would expect the most out of any database system, hence it is one of the critical tasks of a DBA to keep the database performing well all the time. There are a number of factors which could lead to database performance degradation. These include inadequate resources, poor configuration or resource planning, concurrent data modifications, bad queries, improper use of database parameters, data fragmentation etc.
Our DBAs have excellent performance tuning skills gained from many years of experience dealing with various environments. We constantly monitor the performance by checking resource contention, various wait events, CPU and memory utilization etc and diagnose the performance issues with the help of various reports generated from the database using AWR (Automatic Workload Repository), ASH (Active Session History) and provide prompt and effective solutions to improve the performance. Apart from troubleshooting the existing performance issues we provide suggestions and best practices to keep the database system away from any issues in the future.
Testing an application or functionality on a live production database is not at all a feasible option for any developer or tester. The requirement of database refresh or cloning come into picture in such scenarios where the tester needs the exact production database to be copied to a test or lab environment. Our DBAs support all the cloning and refresh activities with the help of various backup and recovery methods without causing any impact on the production database.
Once all the processes are completed we bring the test environment back to the previous position using backup or Guaranteed Restore Point (GRP).
Apart from regular and core-DBA support our DBAs provide development and application dba support where they work closely with the development/application team to create or modify database objects and help them troubleshoot any object or user related issues arising during development or testing phase.
