Watch your databases being run

Six moments from a managed database estate, from a new database in minutes to a bad query
undone to the minute.
Any engine, production-ready. Pick an engine and get a primary, a replica, encryption, backups and monitoring, ready for connections. Automated failover. The primary region fails, the replica in another region is promoted, and apps reconnect to the same endpoint. Undo a mistake to the minute. A DELETE with no WHERE clause wipes a table, and point-in-time recovery brings it back to the minute before. Scale with demand. Queries climb, read replicas are added, response times stay flat, then capacity scales back. Illustrative. Slow queries fixed. Monitoring spots a full table scan, an index is added online, and latency drops back. Illustrative. Migrate without the weekend. An on-premises database is copied, kept in sync and cut over to managed DBaaS. Example timeline.

What every database gets

Automation does the routine work, and our DBAs handle the rest, on whichever cloud your data
lives.

Relational engines for orders, payments, ERP and anything that needs strict consistency.

How we would run it
  • Runs on: United Private Cloud®, single tenant
  • Primary and replica with automated failover
  • Automated backups with point-in-time recovery
  • 24/7 monitoring, tuning, patching and upgrades by our DBAs
  • Encryption at rest and in transit, with role-based access

Guidance only. Our database architects confirm the right engine, sizing and topology with you.

Questions

What teams ask before they start

Which databases do you manage?

MySQL, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle; MongoDB, Redis and Cassandra; Hadoop and Apache Spark; and databases on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud. For AI projects we also offer consulting on vector databases such as Milvus and Pinecone.

What exactly do you take off our plate?

Architecture design, provisioning, patching, upgrades, monitoring, performance tuning, backups, recovery and migrations. Your team keeps ownership of the data and the schema decisions.

How do you keep databases available?

Multi-region replication with automated failover, designed for 99.999% availability, plus automated backups with point-in-time recovery.

Where can our databases run?

On United Private Cloud®, on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, in your data center or other private clouds such as VMware or Oracle Private Cloud, and across all of these in a hybrid setup.

How is our data secured?

End-to-end encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, and support for GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOC 2 and more than 30 compliance standards.

Can you migrate our existing databases?

Yes. We copy your data, keep the target in sync, and cut over in a planned window, including engine upgrades along the way.
