Database Administration Program

PEER 1 Hosting database engineers and architects can optimize and tune your database to pull optimal performance from it... which means you'll deliver optimal customer satisfaction.

Pull Peak Power from your Database

Your network rips. Your servers hum. And still, your users wait for response. It's not the infrastructure that's introducing delays and stalls into their experience, it's the performance of your database. How well it's designed, how expertly its optimized and how carefully it's maintained are all critical factors in delivering quality user experiences.

It's a job for experts. It takes knowledge, expertise and time to get a database up and running at peak levels. PEER 1 Hosting provides that expertise through the Database Administration (DBA) program. We assign a seasoned Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL database architect to work directly with you to pull out every possible performance improvement from your database. We'll improve database performance in a range of areas, including:

• Cache management
• Disk allocation
• Memory allocation
• Server suitability and usage
• Storage and disaster recovery procedures
• Structure and design.
