Databases

Databases > Business issues

The availability of core business systems is essential to most organisations and for many of these applications, there is a strong dependency on the performance and availability of the underlying database. Specialist expertise is required to administer, capacity plan, tune and design a secure backup policy for these databases.

For some organisations, it is hard to justify the expense incurred by a team of specialists or from deploying expensive management tools that could offer so many benefits.

For others, a key application requires a particular database technology which doesn’t fall into the standard internally supported product set and so using an Anix Managed Service to meet this demand makes sense.

Databases > The Anix Service

Anix database management includes full database administration including the creation, maintenance and optimisation of all enterprise solutions from our Anix 24x7 Network Operations Centres, irrespective of whether the customer’s infrastructure is hosted at an Anix Data Centre or at their own premises.

The following databases are supported:

• Oracle
• DB2
• Microsoft SQL Server
• MySQL

Anix provides support and upgrade capability to the latest versions of all database products in addition to migration across different relational databases and operating systems. Coupled with that, real-time monitoring with error analysis and customer alerts are all core elements of this service.

The 24x7 specialist DBA service includes support for overnight batch processing, health checks and assistance with disaster recovery implementations.
