Remote DBA Services

The database works — until it becomes a problem

As long as a database runs smoothly, it stays invisible. But when performance degrades, a backup fails, or an outage occurs, the importance of proper database management becomes immediately clear.

Many organizations have a database, but no dedicated Database Administrator. That is understandable: a full-time DBA is often unnecessary. But having no DBA at all is a risk.

What are Remote DBA Services?

With Remote DBA Services, database management is handled remotely by an experienced specialist. At ProPredict, we offer this as our Remote DBA Services.

You gain access to deep expertise, without having to hire someone permanently.

Why Progress databases need extra attention

Progress OpenEdge databases require specific expertise. Performance tuning, storage layout, and transaction handling differ from many other database platforms.

What we often see:

• backups are running, but never tested
• performance is only reviewed once users complain
• no one really knows what “normal” behavior looks like

This makes troubleshooting difficult and time-consuming.

How ProPredict approaches this

Our Remote DBA Services are designed to prevent problems rather than react to them. We monitor, analyze, and detect deviations early, so intervention can happen in a controlled manner.

Depending on your situation, we work:

• with a fixed subscription for continuous management
• or on demand for incidents or projects

In both cases, you know there is someone involved who truly understands Progress.

No panic management, but clarity

When something goes wrong, clarity matters more than speed alone. We explain what is happening, what the impact is, and which options are available. No technical reports you cannot use, but clear communication.

That provides peace of mind — even when things get tense.

Who is this for?

Remote DBA Services are ideal for organizations that:

• use a Progress database
• do not need a full-time DBA
• but do want certainty around stability and continuity

In conclusion

A database does not have to be a source of concern. With ProPredict’s Remote DBA Services, your database is in experienced hands — without fixed overhead and without surprises. Contact us for more information.
