Senior SQL Server DBAs supporting Melbourne businesses remotely - proactive managed support, performance tuning, migrations, and 24/7 incident response, from as little as 2 hours a month.
Most Melbourne organisations running SQL Server don't have a dedicated DBA. The databases are looked after by infrastructure engineers or developers - competent people, but stretched across a dozen other responsibilities. That works until it doesn't: a blocking storm nobody can diagnose, backups that were never actually restorable, an upgrade that's been deferred for three years because nobody owns it.
DBA Services gives Melbourne businesses a senior SQL Server team on tap. We take ownership of the instances under our management - monitoring, maintenance, reviews, and incident response - or we plug in for defined projects like migrations, health checks, and performance investigations. You consume it as a service and pay only for what you use, in 15-minute increments.
We're Brisbane-headquartered. Melbourne shares our timezone (AEST) for half the year and runs one hour ahead (AEDT) during daylight saving. It makes no practical difference: monitoring and on-call response operate 24/7/365, and every scheduled activity - maintenance windows, monthly reviews, project calls - is booked in Melbourne local time.
Delivery for Melbourne is remote - that's the model that makes senior DBA skills affordable at this level. On-site attendance is available in Brisbane and surrounds; for Melbourne, travel for full-day consultancy engagements can be arranged where a project genuinely warrants it. Everything else, from routine administration through to emergency corruption recovery, is done through secure remote access within your security framework.
No third-party agents or software installed on your servers. We leverage native SQL Server capabilities, enhanced with AI-assisted telemetry analysis, and never touch your business data.
15-minute billing increments, comprehensive monthly work summaries, and no lock-in contracts. You stay because the service is valuable, not because a contract says so. How we engage →
100% Australian owned and operated, QAssure #16602, GITC #Q-6452, PCI-DSS SAQ-D Service Provider compliant, and NDAs executed as standard before any engagement.
If you're weighing up support options, start with a SQL Server health check. It's fixed-price, runs entirely remotely, includes a 48-hour performance baseline, and gives you a documented, prioritised view of every issue in your environment - whether or not you engage us afterwards.
Call 1800 SQL DBA (1800 775 322) or reach us online. For urgent production issues, our emergency support gets a senior on-call DBA responding within 30 minutes, day or night.
