Database as a Service
Managed, fully customisable and highly available databases without the associated resource or infrastructure costs
Adapt’s Database as a Service combines the virtual private cloud delivery model with traditional database management, overlaying an innovative, flexible commercial structure on our tried and tested managed service.
We deliver the infrastructure required to run your database, scaling from a single low capacity, resilient virtual server right up to a clustered pair of dedicated high performance physical servers split across sites. Whatever the performance and availability requirement, Adapt works with customers to create the optimal balanced solution.
Availability, performance and freedom from administration
Adapt manages databases running SQL Server or Oracle, ensuring high availablility and performance with effective shared management tools that offer customers full transparency and control. Database as a Service delivers database administration functions, quick recoverability in the event of an incident and high availability solutions such as clustering and mirroring, freeing your technical resources to focus on more strategic activity.
Adapt services operate 24/7 and are continuously monitored from our dual site Service Operations Centre.
Additional services
Beyond the provision of Database as a Service, Adapt also offers a range of service enhancements. In order to get the most from your database service, we perform regular health checks to test the performance and quality of your SQL code, check for capacity issues and assist with new projects.
Organisations looking to deploy Database as a Service often require additional hosted and monitored and managed application servers - Adapt’s Server as a Service satisfies rich infrastructure requirements, built on our industry-leading enterprise Virtual Data Centre. We also offer load balancing, resilient IP connectivity and cloud storage to complement our database services.
