Often as much as 80% to 90% of a systems speed and performance is related to the database. A full time DBA (Database Administrator) is an expensive luxury that few businesses can afford. While many developers and IT managers understand the basics of SQL, few have a comprehensive understanding of the workings of a modern day DMBS and how to achieve massive amounts of performance improvements from very little effort and through just a very small investment in time. Our internal database subject matter experts can advise, guide, and correct most database issues.
Index Tuning
Missing index’s or incorrect index’s are the most common cause of performance degradation. Let us maximise the potential of index technology.
Structural Review
Do you have an optimal data structure or is data being duplicated, incorrectly stored and accessed or possibly just lost? We will review at the lowest possible level.
Normalisation Analysis
Normalisation in all its forms is a key principle of database design and storage but it’s not always fully understood by developers. This is often a major source of performance degradation.
Best Practice Comparison
After decades of working with trillions of rows of data and petabytes of storage along with guidance from the likes of Microsoft our internal intelligence of best practice is unsurpassed.
