Key Features of our Cloud Managed Service

Flexible Services

We offer flexible solutions for your unique Cloud management needs: Outsource or Co-source.

Outsource: Entrust your entire environment management to us. We handle all aspects of database administration, ensuring stress-free management at all times with significant cost savings.

Cosource: Our collaborative approach makes us an extension of your team, taking on routine and time-consuming tasks. We provide round-the-clock support at a fraction of the cost of hiring additional personnel, freeing up your internal team to focus on other areas of value.

Proactive Monitoring and Incident Resolution

We aim to ensure the uninterrupted performance of your Cloud infrastructure. We know that prevention is better than cure and always aim to solve problems before they become issues.

Our advanced monitoring systems keep a vigilant eye on your Cloud environment, detecting potential issues before they impact your operations. When incidents do occur, our expert team springs into action, quickly resolving issues to minimise downtime and impact, ensuring functionality is restored.

Security Standards

The security of your environment is paramount and we demonstrate our commitment to keeping your environment safe by meeting stringent security standards. Our ongoing certifications in ISO 27001:2013 and Cyber Essentials Plus show our commitment to upholding the highest information security standards. Security best practices are ingrained in our culture, and all staff undergo regular  training to keep security at the heart of our operations. Our dedicated Group Risk & Compliance Manager ensures that security measures are consistently implemented and improved to address evolving threats.

Streamlined Onboarding

Our Cloud-based managed service provision begins with a detailed site review, so we understand your specific database environment and requirements. We then provide a dedicated take-on team to guide you through the onboarding process, working with your former supplier if necessary. You'll have access to our Customer Resource Portal with tutorial videos on how to raise tickets and service requests. Our joint execution plan is carefully compiled, ensuring all stakeholders are aligned and expectations are clear.

Integrated Cloud Managed Services

Many organisations have an amalgamation of different database and Cloud platforms. Increasingly vendors are making collaboration easier, such as the Oracle-Azure interconnect, but it can still be complex and difficult to effectively manage integrated infrastructure in-house. DSP, as an certified expert in several database and Cloud platforms can assist with configuring and managing a streamlined environment.

Regular Health Checks

Regular health checks are a fundamental part of our Cloud Managed Service, ensuring the continuous optimisation of your environment.

We conduct thorough assessments to identify any areas that require attention, from configuration settings to database objects.

Our health checks are designed to keep your systems running optimally and reduce the risk of performance bottlenecks.

Proactive Database Performance Tuning

Our team of expert DBAs specialise in proactive database performance tuning.

We go beyond monitoring and actively identify and address potential performance problems.

Through tuning, we ensure that your Cloud environment always delivers peak performance to support your wider business functions.

Backups, DR Testing, Patching and Security Audits

We take a holistic approach to Cloud management, including critical tasks like backups and disaster recovery testing. Our team ensures that your data is securely backed up, and we regularly test your disaster recovery plans to guarantee rapid recovery in case of loss.

We also manage patching to keep your database systems up-to-date and secure, while security audits help safeguard your data from threats.

Management Information Reporting

Stay informed and in control with detailed management information reporting. Our reports provide valuable insights into your environment's performance, empowering you to make data-driven decisions. With comprehensive reporting, you can track the health and performance of your databases over time.
