Monthly Database Health Check

Most small-to medium-sized companies do not need full-time DBAs. What they do need is a part-time database expert to keep the business running smoothly!

Oracle & SQL Server databases require monitoring to ensure that all of the database components are functioning properly. Once set-up, databases need to be monitored for errors in the database logs. Additionally, the database administrator needs to monitor the database jobs to make sure that maintenance jobs for backups, optimizer statistics, integrity checks, etc., are running and completing to success.

Our Monthly Health Check is designed to ensure that your databases are running error-free and at peak performance.

Each month, we will check the following:

Machine configuration and report on utilization of CPU, Memory and Disks
Database configuration parameter settings to maximize performance
Database layout for optimal performance & recoverability
Internal database statistics and database resource utilization
Database & machine logs for sporadic or recurring errors
Completion status of database jobs
Database performance report for one single business critical hour

We will then generate a Database Performance Report. This monthly report will provide you with an overview of the health of your database for a very modest investment of time and money.

I have worked with DTA for over four years. We began working together at the point where our customer base was beginning to grow and our home-grown data warehouse was suffering scalability issues. DTA helped guide us towards a more scalable solution that is still in use today at over 100 customers, many of whom have multi-terabyte data warehouses. When it came time to design our new data warehouse, we worked closely together with DTA to specify, design, and implement a highly scalable Oracle Enterprise Edition data warehouse. DTA has been involved in many customer support issues. They always work extremely well with engineering and customers to perform root cause analysis. They are unbiased, thorough, and their Oracle knowledge is superb. If you are looking for a DBA or someone to work more closely with you as an implementation partner, I recommend DTA without hesitation. You won't be disappointed. I look forward to working with DTA again in the future.
