Brisbane is home base

DBA Services is 100% Australian owned and operated, founded and headquartered in Brisbane (PO Box 1208, Fortitude Valley QLD 4006). Our founder and Principal SQL Server DBA, Sia Shamsai, has spent 25+ years managing SQL Server infrastructure for enterprises including Dominos, QSuper, Qantas, and Super Retail Group - much of that work done right here in Queensland.

Being local matters in practical ways. We work in your timezone, we can meet you in person, and for Brisbane businesses we're one of the few SQL Server specialists who can actually turn up on-site when the situation calls for it.

On-site support, when you need it

While our operating model is remote-first - it's what keeps response times fast and pricing sharp - Brisbane and surrounding areas are the exception where on-site support is available. Consultancy engagements are available on-site on an hourly, half-day, or full-day basis for Brisbane businesses. Note that on-site service charges include travel and a premium for having technicians physically present; most clients find remote delivery covers 95% of their needs.

What Brisbane clients engage us for

  • Managed SQL support from $999/mo ex-GST - 24/7 monitoring and on-call DBAs
  • SQL Server health checks - currently $999 ex-GST per instance (normally $2,499)
  • Performance tuning - waits, indexes, blocking, and query optimisation
  • Migrations and upgrades - version upgrades and moves to Azure or AWS
  • High availability and disaster recovery design
  • P1 emergency response - 30-minute response, 24/7/365
  • On-site consultancy across Brisbane and surrounds

Explore the full range on our services page, or see how we engage - managed monthly support or ad-hoc blocks of hours, with no lock-in contracts.
