Remote DBA

There is major shift from hiring a full time inhouse DBA to outsource DBA support to professional organizations due to following reasons,

• Cost of hiring full time DBA is very high.
• Cost of training, certification, regular knowledge upgrade of inhouse DBA further adds to cost
• In severe and critical system breakdown events, inhouse DBA may not be able to concentrate on most effective solutions due to system availability presure from users.
• Inhouse DBA can need help of professional organization providing DBA services. This 11th hour need may delay the support and hence the system recovery. This can be costly too.
