Databases as a Managed Service
Reliable databases require more than just storage.
We take care of operations, security, redundancy, and recoverability – so your data is available when you need it most.
Managed Database Operations
Reliable operation of your relational database – including backups, monitoring, patching, and recovery. Supports PostgreSQL, MariaDB, and more.
- Regular backups & restore testing
- Monitoring & performance tracking
- Optional high availability & replication
Why Databases Need Professional Care
Databases are the backbone of modern applications – whether in the cloud or on-premises.
Yet, maintenance, security, and operations are often underestimated. Only when outages or attacks occur does the importance of a solid setup become clear.
Missing backups, untested restores, or outdated systems are common weaknesses – with potentially serious business consequences.
