Remote database management is the way to go. In our case it helped us to cut down our costs without jeopardizing the integrity and security of our DB.
After we’ve experienced a serious infrastructure inconsistency we decided to outsource this off-site. The new DBA managed to tackle everything in less than a month with only weekly or bi-weekly assessments. If you’re in the position to upgrade your IT team, go remote. They are worth it!
Cyber attacks are more and more frequent so investing in a professional database admin is key. We’ve contacted three local firms and the quotes couldn’t have been more different. Now the question is how do you pick the team that will manage your most sensitive data if you had to choose between a young team that uses the latest technologies and a reputable team that has a lot of positive feedback but is not that up to date?
Just sent this list to my team, thanks!
After doing our homework we contracted a company with a ton of expertise in the health management field and this proved to be a step in the right direction for us. They’re not cheap but they always deliver and if you want a custom plan tailored for your company they’re worth checking into.
We already had to downsize two departments, 2020 has been hard on us, so working with a company on this list seems like a dream…
If you can’ afford to spend a huge chunk on the DBA’s salary, my advice is to avoid big names for a second and look for reputable, cloud–based data management companies.
I’ve read several Sypnotek case studies and I think they might be the choice for my first startup, waiting to hear from them for a cost estimate.
So many choices… This will be my first time having to employ a database administrator and I honestly have no idea how to choose a company that is both affordable and secure.
