A well-structured, highly available, high-performance database is crucial to any multi-tiered application. With SoftLayer Managed Hosting, an assigned senior database administrator (DBA) collaborates with you and your team to design, implement, and administer the best Microsoft SQL or MySQL Server database solution for your current and future performance requirements.

We begin by working directly with your application architects and other team members to:

  • Understand the current implementation of your database
  • Review its role in your operations and how it interacts with your applications
  • Outline performance expectations and normal operating procedures

Then your DBA leverages best practices and years of expertise to architect the ideal database infrastructure and management strategy for your immediate and long-term objectives, covering essential design considerations.
