Business hours, South African time

Oracle in production but no full-time DBA to watch it?

We run a daily check, send a monthly report, test a restore twice a year, and answer small requests within one business day.

What is included

What the plan covers

Included every month

  • A daily check of backups, tablespace usage, failed jobs and alert-log errors, which alerts us
  • A monthly health report, every finding ranked with its fix
  • A restore test twice a year, timed and compared
  • Up to 4 small requests a month (users and roles, space, a failed job, one slow query), answered with the exact steps for your team
  • The steps for a small request within 3 business days

Not included

  • 24/7 or emergency cover
  • Patching and version upgrades: we report the patch level, your team applies
  • RAC, Exadata and E-Business Suite administration

Questions

Before you ask

What access do you need?A read-only database account and a way in, usually a VPN.
We never change your production database: your team applies every change.
What happens outside business hours?Nothing until the next business day.
If you need someone on call at night or at weekends, this plan is not the right fit.
Want to start smaller?A health check is a good first step: it shows where your database stands before you decide on monthly support.
What if we need more than 4 small requests?Extra requests are quoted before we do them.
