Overview

Why this matters

Some database work can't be done by the team that keeps the lights on: a major version upgrade, a move to Real Application Clusters, a disaster-recovery site, a replication project with GoldenGate, or a performance crisis that needs deep tuning. Our consulting practice delivers these as fixed-scope projects — planned, executed and handed over with documentation — by DBAs who have done them many times before.

What's included

Architecture assessment and design
RAC implementation and cluster stabilisation
Data Guard standby and DR runbooks, with switchover testing
GoldenGate replication and zero-downtime migration
Version upgrades (11g/12c/19c to 19c/23ai)
Performance tuning: AWR/ASH analysis, SQL tuning, memory and I/O
Knowledge transfer and documentation handover

Outcomes you can expect

Projects delivered on scope, with tested rollback plans
High availability that has actually been failover-tested
Documentation your team can operate from
No vendor lock-in — your environment, your knowledge

Typically engaged by

Enterprises planning an Oracle upgrade or consolidation
Teams that need high availability or a DR site built properly
Companies replicating data between systems or to the cloud
Anyone with a performance problem their current team can't crack

How the engagement works

Every project starts with a scoping call and a written statement of work: scope, timeline, deliverables and a fixed price. Work is delivered remotely with on-site presence where the project needs it. Post-project support is available through our managed services.

Representative engagement

RAC stabilisation and Data Guard DR for a regional bank

Banking & Financial Services

Challenge

A two-node RAC cluster behind core banking suffered recurring node evictions, and the disaster-recovery site had never been failover-tested — a regulatory finding waiting to happen.

What we did

Root-caused the evictions to interconnect and ASM configuration, re-engineered the cluster, built a physical standby with Data Guard, and ran documented switchover drills with the bank's team.

Outcome

Zero unplanned cluster outages in the twelve months after remediation; DR switchover demonstrated in under fifteen minutes; audit finding closed.

Common questions

How do you price your services?

Managed support is a predictable monthly fee scaled by the number of databases and the cover you need. Projects are fixed-price against a written statement of work. Staffing is priced per role and duration. Every engagement starts with a scoping conversation and a written proposal — no work begins without an agreed price.

How quickly can you start?

Managed support typically begins within two weeks of agreement — the time it takes to complete a health check, document your environment and agree monitoring and escalation. Consulting projects start on the date in the statement of work. Staffing shortlists are usually ready within days.

How do you handle access and confidentiality?

We work under NDA and follow least-privilege access: named engineers, individual credentials, VPN or bastion access as your policy requires, and full activity logging. We are happy to comply with your security review and onboarding procedures.

Do you work on-site or remotely?

Primarily remotely — that is what makes 24×7 cover cost-effective. For projects that benefit from on-site presence (data-centre work, cutover weekends, workshops) our engineers travel from Kolkata or Pune.
