Part-Time DBA Services Overview

Service Plan | Service Brochure (PDF, 2.60 MB)

Our Part-Time DBA Service helps small-to medium-sized businesses that have a handful of databases, manage and support database instances.

Oracle and SQL Server databases are robust enough that when installed and configured correctly, they require minimal intervention; therefore, hiring a full-time DBA in such cases means that the individual will potentially be idle most of the time.

Our Part-Time DBA Service provides you with knowledgeable DBAs at a fraction of the cost of hiring full-time staff or expensive contractors. We assign a DBA to your office on the weekly schedule that you choose, so effectively, you have your own DBA for a designated part of each week. This ensures continuity of support for your business from one week to the next.

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.
