	Design For your company to get the most out of your database, you must have a well-designed database, starting from the ground up. Hardware architecture and infrastructure are a critical piece of your database needs, but are only a piece of the puzzle. You can spend millions on hardware and still have an unresponsive, ineffective database. A database needs good hardware to run on, but must also be modeled and designed properly to be most effective. Too frequently companies throw more hardware at a database problem and get very little return on their investment. That time, money, and effort usually would be better spent improving design and implementation. It is critical to start with a good database design. Once an application is created based on your database, the costs in improving your database design can skyrocket. Therefore it is critical to start with a good design. Performance Even the best designed databases can have performance issues at one time or another. Databases are complex and similar to a car, require constant maintenance and upkeep. If your database isn't performing as you'd expect it to, we can do a performance analysis and see what is going on under the hood. Quite frequently there are some simple steps that can be taken to get your database back at peak performance. Additionally we can set up regularly scheduled maintenance plans that will help guarantee that your database runs as efficiently as possible. Another issue affecting database performance is poorly written queries and applications. As part of our analysis we can determine if there are changes that need to be made in how you extract data from the database. Reporting There are a wide variety of reporting options available from small, simple Excel reports to complex, enterprise-wide solutions with scheduled generation and delivery via email. Each situation is different depending on your specific needs. After discussing your needs with us, we can recommend an effective solution that will work efficiently within your infrastructure and beyond your expectations. Security Security is a critical aspect of any database aspect. Compromised databases can destroy companies in many different methods, such as a destroyed reputation, unacceptable downtime, broken regulations and agreements, and many other unacceptable results. Security requires constant attention because intruders are constantly searching for vulnerabilities to exploit. We can assist you in tightening your database security by protecting access to servers and databases, auditing and restricting access, and implementing procedures for retrieving data. Call us to give your self peace of mind with your database. Disaster Recovery Disaster recovery includes two equally important aspects: Planning and Recovery.
