Database Administrator Services
COMPREHENSIVE solutions from highly skilled experts
Most companies rely on their database systems to run their critical business applications, but few can afford a team of experienced DBAs – instead they often rely on an “accidental DBA”, who looks after the database systems in addition to his or her day job.
Quorum can bridge the gap and provide a team of professional, experienced and certified database professionals on a part time basis to look after your company databases, ensuring your business applications are robust, fast performing, and deliver the management information which the business requires. We are happy working with, supporting and mentoring your existing in-house team or taking full responsibility for the database service – our approach is to work in partnership with our clients.
Database Managed Services

- Daily checks for critical applications
- Server monitoring, alerting and incident management
- Pro-active resource / capacity management
- Database security including regular patching

Implementation, Migration & Consolidation
As your IT environment evolves it is important to ensure that your database platform stays up to date and on supported and high performing hardware. Versions of SQL prior to 2014 are now not supported by Microsoft, and 2014 will go end of life in July 2024.
We can help you with new SQL implementations, migrate or upgrade your existing environment to supported platforms.
This will start by evaluating your current workload and providing a recommended SQL architecture and migration strategy which maximises the database “bang for your buck” of your new environment, and ensure this is tuned to your application and unique business requirements.
Health Checks and Performance Optimisation
Over time due to changing business objectives, code, data growth and many other factors you may experience a slow-down of your systems.
Our comprehensive health check and tuning service can help you determine if your SQL Servers are running at their most efficient and identify areas where performance can be improved through configuration changes, indexing and best practice maintenance tasks.
We can also run a monthly quick check / tune to ensure your databases keep performing at the level which your business requires.
Azure Cloud Database
The prohibitive cost of a traditional, manual approach to database management can be replaced by using Database as a Service (DBaaS) facilities including Azure SQL PaaS and CosmosDB.
These are cloud-based database solutions providing many benefits including rapid scalability for dynamic workloads, reduced management overheads and better value for money than traditional hosting.
Training
Our consultants are available to deliver on-site or classroom-based courses to complement a range of vendor accreditation tracks. Sessions are available 1:1 or for up to 10 delegates. Choose from our standard courses or opt for a bespoke training session delivered using your own development systems.
Whether it’s building database clusters for resilience and availability, optimisation for high application performance, or creating geographically distributed systems, our DBAs have broad experience across all database technologies.
