Expertise
Performance Tuning
By Completely understanding Core performance issues of a database, my optimization techniques results in maximizing the speed and efficiency of instances and it’s queries for Oracle and MySQL database.
Capacity Planning
With Deep understanding of Capacity Management Challenges, accuracy of space usages estimation as well as prediction of object’s growth is very high which Improves visibility of management on resources’s capacity planing for making correct business decision.
Backup Strategy
By defining guidelines for organizations and database administrators to help devise a backup strategy suitable for their environment. Focusing beyond “valid copy of backup” while devising backup strategy.
HA & DR Management
Expecting the unexpected is key to my HA & DR implementations which is ensuring high level of availibility for your data and help business smooth functioning without worrying about possibilites of data unavailablity.
