Save up to 50% of DBA cost with Onsys Remote Remote Database Support.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, businesses rely on robust and well-maintained databases to drive operations, ensure data integrity, and support mission-critical applications. However, managing databases effectively requires expert DBA (Database Administrator) support, which can be costly for many organizations.
This is where Onsys Remote DBA Services come into play. By leveraging our 24/7 managed DBA services, businesses can ensure database stability, security, and efficiency—at a fraction of the cost of hiring in-house DBAs.
Challenges of Hiring an In-House DBA
While having an in-house DBA offers direct control, it also comes with significant overhead costs and operational challenges:
- High Salary Costs: A single in-house DBA in Australia earns an average annual salary of AUD 100,000.
- Multiple DBAs Required: At least two DBAs are needed to provide 24/7 support in an environment with 25 SQL Server instances and other technologies like PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc., which costs approximately AUD 200,000 annually.
- Additional Costs: In addition to salaries, businesses also bear costs for training, on-call allowances, employee benefits, office space, and infrastructure.
- Limited Availability: In-house DBAs have fixed working hours and leave days and may be unavailable for urgent, after-hours database incidents.
