Services

Specialist SQL Server services for every need

From proactive monitoring through to emergency response, on-site or remote - the full spectrum of SQL services and database administration for Microsoft SQL Server. 100% Australian owned and operated.

As Microsoft SQL Server continues to grow in both features and complexity, the gap between general system administration and specialist database administration widens. Many organisations lack a dedicated DBA - relying instead on system administrators or application developers to manage their SQL Server infrastructure. DBA Services bridges that gap, providing businesses of any size with access to the same specialist SQL Server DBA skillset and enterprise-grade monitoring technologies used by Australia's largest database environments - consumed as a service, so you only pay for the support you actually need.
