The DBA Challenge
Qualified, professional database administration is a must for today’s mission-critical systems. Good DBAs can:
- Prevent costly downtime – 30% of downtime comes from unplanned outages, 70% from planned outages, so companies must find ways to either decrease the frequency of planned downtime by proactively managing the database or decrease the length of the outage by performing maintenance tasks efficiently. Companies must plan for recovery from unplanned downtime and implement strategies to avoid it.
- Prevent negative publicity and lost business.
- Foresee and solve performance issues – before they impact your system.
DBA Obstacles
Companies face significant obstacles to maintaining consistent, high-quality DBA service:
- Turnover – IT turnover rate is between 8 and 17 percent per year, which dramatically impacts your bottom line. DBA’s work over 50 hours per week, and 6 hours on the weekend, often contributing to burnout and turnover. DBA services help take the load off your internal staff.
- High salary costs – Average DBA salary is $84,000 (total cost to employers near 160K).
- Changing technology – Staff must keep up with changing technologies, multiple platforms.
- DBA professionals in highest demand – Yet they are growing increasingly difficult and expensive to find, train and/or retain.
