Databases play a central role in almost every enterprise application. In most business organizations, data volumes are growing exponentially while end users demand ever increasing access to information. Correct design and management of databases enable applications to work as designed and streamline business processes.
Convergent’s expertise in data management and database administration spans Oracle, SQL Server and DB2. We employ some of the most experienced Oracle experts in the industry who have worked on very large database design and performance tuning for business critical applications. We can assist clients with physical and logical design, sizing, build, performance tuning, archiving, resilience, backup/recovery, disaster recovery for online transaction processing systems (OLTP) or data warehousing. Together these services can help you to ensure safe and secure data management, optimal resilience and performance of your business critical applications.
Business requirements such as transaction volumes and retention of historic data determine the size of your database. Usage and access help determine design – for example, an OLTP schema or operational data store will not perform well for a data mart or warehouse. Together with technical requirements such as performance and redundancy, our database experts can help with capacity planning and logical and physical database design.
Our DBAs can install the RDBMS software and create your application database based on a design specification. We are experienced in database upgrades and data and application migrations.
Every database system has its own set of configuration options and parameters that affect its performance. And different purposes and designs for a database require different configurations. By understanding these options our experienced DBAs can identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks to make applications perform better.
Convergent can design and configure resilient, clustered architectures, for example using solutions such as Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC).
The confidence for building your business on an enterprise application rests on a sound and proven backup and recovery solution for its database. In case of data loss or corruption the database must be restored completely and without delay. We can design, implement and test a backup and recovery solution to fit requirements. We can even design and build the backup infrastructure.
A classic Data Warehouse combines and aggregates data from multiple applications and makes it accessible through fast ad-hoc queries and reports for strategic decision making. The nature of integrating and managing multiple data sources, synchronising data and ensuring both data quality and data integrity, makes Data Warehouses very complex, specialised environments. Convergent can manage the full lifecycle of a data warehouse project, from analysis, design, build, ETL development to integration of front-end applications and business intelligence tools.
