Multicloud specialist Denit and managed database expert SQLTreeo will collaborate more intensively. The organizations developed a new service that ensures error-free, reliable databases and more stable applications. No superfluous luxury, as practice shows.

From production data to likes, the importance of data for modern business cannot be overestimated. Reliable databases are needed to make that data accessible. Database administrators monitor the database architecture and ensure proper integration with other applications. Yet many companies do not employ a database administrator. As a result, poorly maintained databases that cause problems in the connection with other applications.

An innovative solution

Finding a database administrator is quite a challenge due to the shortage on the labor market. “Hiring a database administrator costs a lot of money, while it is not always a full-time position. Usually no more than a few hours a week or a few weeks a year, "said David Hut, CTO of Denit. Reason for Denit and SQLTreeo to develop a new service: the virtual database administrator, or VDBA. The VDBA combines human expertise with SQL monitoring software and various usable modules for database maintenance.

More stable applications

According to Hut, the VDBA is certainly not reserved for companies that have problems with their databases. “Our goal is to identify potential errors early, before they become a problem for the customer. Even in current, trouble-free production environments, a VDBA can provide more stable applications. ”Hut emphasizes that the VDBA is also very suitable for companies that already employ a database administrator. "Think of the holidays, for example, or when you need an extra pair of hands, or want to use a certain SQL expertise that you don't have in-house."

Old acquaintances

To realize this service, Denit worked closely with database expert SQLTreeo. "Our relationship with SQLTreeo goes back more than 20 years, when I met Danny Riebeek, CEO of SQLTreeo, within a project," said Hut. “We started working together in the years that followed and that worked out well on both sides. SQLTreeo has the right expertise and work culture to further intensify this collaboration. ”

Successes achieved

The VDBA is in a longer line of database collaboration between both organizations. Hut tells about one of the first success stories. A Denit customer seemed to have problems with his retail software but this turned out not to be the true cause. "When we conducted a survey, we discovered that the problem was more about the database than about the software." Every time the customer wanted to prepare a status report, the database crashed. Together with SQLTreeo, Denit found the solution: the reports are now executed outside the production infrastructure. With a satisfied customer as a result. And that is what Hut says. "We continue to work closely together and develop with SQLTreeo so that we can help our customers even better."
