DBA SERVICES

DBA Services is a 100% Australian-owned Microsoft SQL Server consultancy, headquartered in Brisbane and supporting organisations across Australia. We specialise exclusively in SQL Server and its cloud variants, including Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance, SQL Server on Azure VMs and AWS RDS. We are not a generalist IT provider: every engagement is handled by senior SQL Server DBAs.

Our managed DBA service gives you 24/7 monitoring, proactive environment reviews and on-call senior DBAs, from $999 per month ex-GST, with no lock-in contracts and 15-minute billing increments for work outside the plan. For organisations that need help without a retainer, we provide specialist SQL Server support on demand.

Our fixed-price SQL Server health checks include a 48-hour performance baseline and a detailed report of findings and remediation recommendations. We find critical misconfigurations in 97% of the environments we review.

  - Managed DBA services and remote DBA support
