This core data expertise consists of some of the world’s top database experts and our clients have included Intel, Cisco, Apple Computers, Wells Fargo, PG&E, Visa International, Charles Schwab, Toshiba, Sony, and many other global 5000 organizations. “Data by Design” is our mantra and this drives each project - from early data requirements all the way through optimized database designs and implementations. Our database engine coverage includes Sybase Adaptive Server, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, DB2, MySQL, and Postgres to name a few. Our database services also include several outstanding Database and SQL courses, and a graphical Performance and Tuning database product called SQL Shot for Sybase, SQL Server and Oracle DBMS platforms. We are the authors of Sybase’s performance and tuning and physical database design methodologies (and courseware) and some of our expert data professionals are noted authors of bestselling books such as ‘SQL Server 2000 Unleashed’, ‘SQL Server 2005 Unleashed’, ‘SQL Server 2008 R2 Unleashed’, ‘Sybase SQL Server 11 Unleashed’, ‘SQL Server High Availability’, ‘Cryptography in the Database’ and ‘ADO.Net in 24 Hours’.

Frequent Speakers at Events Our consultants frequently appear at major database-related events around the world, such as ‘SQL Server User Groups’, ‘Sybase User Group’, ‘Informatica World Conference’, ‘Data Administration User Group’, ‘MS TechEd,’ and many others.

High Availability & Continuous Operation Database Architechs is showcasing its expanding high-availability service capability by offering short (mini) high-availability assessment projects and full (complex) high-availability implementation projects to move your critical operations to new levels of continuous operation. Five-9’s are frequently attained in different configurations. Our expertise allows us to build very efficient high-availability architectures using technologies such as Clustering, Virtual Servers, Data Replication, Database Mirroring, and Database Snapshots.

Database Security and Encryption Database Architechs also offers a wide variety of services related to the security of information. We often work in other areas as well; it is impossible to secure the core if the perimeter is poorly defined. Our analysis generally starts with the information you want to secure before moving on to the review of all security and control issues that exist at each level of your infrastructure. We pride ourselves for having a practical, results-oriented approach to threats and risks.

Performance & Tuning Database Architechs is proud to have in its team some of the world’s best experts in database performance and tuning, and performance engineering. This includes Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase Adaptive Server, Oracle, and DB2. As part of any P&T engagement, we use a detailed performance and tuning methodology that has been developed over many years to offer predefined deliverables that maximize the end-result of our customers. Typically, our results include an improvement in database throughput ranging from 100% to 750% as well as a massive reduction in response times. All of our P&T experts are certified in at least one database platform.

Database Architechs frequently works hand-in-hand with the key leaders of such powerful technologies as SSD/RAM disks providers to accelerate database engine performance far beyond what is usually feasible. These partnerships often include undertaking extensive benchmarking with a variety of different database topologies. For more information on our recent benchmarking results, please review the white papers that Database Architechs has made available.

Performance & Tuning Tools We have also had the privilege of developing our own set of graphic

performance and tuning tools. SQL Shot exists for Sybase, for Oracle, and, recently, for Microsoft SQL Server as well.

These tools are extremely helpful tool for isolating and resolving the most difficult performance and blocking and/or locking issues.

This Performance and Tuning Tool will be installed and used during the assessment. At the engagement’s end, we can either uninstall it, if you wish or keep it installed to let you continue to evaluate it.

A Free SQL Shot for Microsoft SQL Server evaluation copy is included in

“Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Unleashed’ best-selling book from SAMS.
