Remote database management

Because of the lack of skills, remote operations such as data management and backup are not always reliable. And companies can’t run the risk of a major failure, especially in the event of a breakdown. But solutions exist to centralize database administration interventions.

Why provide remote management of MySQL database?

Remote database administration separates your database server from your web server, or other server. Indeed, this practice may be necessary in several situations such as the authorization of certain applications.

Given the risks associated with data backup, professionals need to review their data management methodology. Otherwise, increasing insecurity may persist – due to the lack of qualified staff at remote sites or the cost of traditional data management techniques.

Fortunately, more sophisticated solutions exist to meet these multiple challenges and set up your MySQL server to be accessible from a remote server.

Points to check in remote data administration

Centralized management according to very specific rules

Effective management of remote data relies on the centralization of rules and the application of these rules across remote networks.

Entrusting remote data management and backup to a single centralized team will help you control costs and be more efficient.

Extended Network Use (WAN) broadband

There are a number of bandwidth considerations, such as the availability of remote site bandwidth.

Effective means must be put in place with tools to optimize the available bandwidth.

In addition, you should check the amount of over-bit generated on the network.

Data integrity and security

Intrusions are even more frequent on remote sites due to lack of control, which is why it is important to encrypt the data during the transfer.

Process automation on remote sites

Process automation provides an effective solution for accessing data while addressing skilled personnel problems at remote locations.

MySQL database replication mode

In business continuity management, continuous replication keeps an eye on the file system and change his or her history. For periodic processes such as backup or archiving, it is best to opt for immediate replication.

Archive

Did you know that? Failure to archive is an important factor that can interfere with the backup process. When an inbox is not cleaned, the contents pile up in the common folders, which increases the amount of data to process. A problem that automatically affects storage resources.

Consolidated disk-to-disk backup

It is a matter of transferring the data to be backed up to a remote site in order to easily restore this data in the event of a disaster (flood, fire, etc.). This requires controlling the costs of storage, various operations and data security.

MySQL and MariaDB Database Consulting

MySQL and MariaDB are still the most used databases in the world. With everything we see on the web about them, it is important to be well informed to maximize the performance of MySQL / MariaDB.

Indeed, all the information available is not necessarily adapted to your situation. Instead of blindly following any suggestion, it is better to opt for a consulting service tailored to your use case.

Did you know ?

MySQL, an open source relational database management system (RDBMS), was deployed in May 1995, then purchased by Oracle in April 2009. From there was born the MariaDB fork, whose objective was to keep the free project under general public license (GPL).
MySQL uses the Structured Query Language (SQL) which is the most popular for managing content within a database.

When to use mysql and mariadb database consulting services?

Optimize, diagnose and resolve performance issues

In some cases, MySQL / MariaDB database tables crash quite easily. This is due to an unexpected server shutdown, sudden file system corruption or during the copy operation, when the database is still accessible.

Ocean DBA consultants will quickly identify data issues and recommend solutions to improve architecture and design for performance, availability, functionality, resiliency …

Ensure the availability of applications

We can help keep your database up and running and meet all of your uptime needs.

Update current software or migrate to new, more efficient software

Our MySQL consulting specialists bring you their know-how as part of an upgrade to perform an efficient migration of your systems and data with the least effort, risk and cost.

Why seek the services of a database consultant?

Since your database performance is important to application performance, you need to ensure MySQL® / MariaDB® optimization for your critical applications and websites.

Here is a more or less complete list of the objectives of these expert missions:

  • Troubleshooting recurring issues
  • Definition of architectures that will increase the load resistance
  • Establishment of backup and security systems
  • Realization of skills transfers
  • Improved Maria DB and MySQL database performance (query tuning, schema audit, fragmentation review, etc.)
  • Increase in high availability (review of available solutions, definition and deployment of clusters)
  • Configuration and sizing of the platform to accommodate X users or Y transactions per second
  • Performing migrations (example: proprietary database to open source database)

How is the consulting session going?

Consulting consists of going to a client who is encountering problems or experiencing real needs on his databases.

The session normally lasts between 1 and 5 days, on site or remotely.

In general, the team is available in less than a week remotely, and in less than 2 weeks on site.
