Beluga Software

Beluga Software’s consultants have experience in developing and deploying large, business-critical Internet and Intranet applications. We provide open, standards-based development techniques that produce scalable, high performance systems that meet your business requirements. Our teams implement solutions that are elegant and cutting edge, while being reliable and cost effective.

Whatever the challenge -- database conversions and migrations, network architecture design and development, tuning and support, upgrades, application installation and remote database administration - Beluga Software will make it happen.

Our Database services include:

Production Support: Our production support experience spans a large variety of environments—from small systems with little change to multi-terrabyte systems that are very dynamic. We offer access to experts for shops without a DBA and can offload support tasks and the burden of 24/7 support for busy shops with DBA teams.
Database Installations and Upgrades: We frequently assist our clients with database installations, upgrades, and migrations. We know that installing database software involves more than just a "point and click" approach. Upgrades and migrations have to be planned for carefully. We take a methodical and conservative approach to ensure we take our clients through this process smoothly. The know-how to provide testing, planning, and validating is critical in getting through these processes smoothly.
Backup and Recovery Strategies: If you are like most of our clients, your data is critical to your business, and you can't risk data loss or downtime. We can develop your backup and recovery strategy and look at meeting high availability requirements and capacity planning. We work with huge production databases on a daily basis. We also do backup and recovery audits and testing to ensure your risk of any data loss is as low as possible.
Replication and High Availability: The technology in this area is varied, and we use our experience to ensure your business needs are met. We work with you to understand your high availability requirements, and we'll develop and test a solution that best meets your needs.
Performance Tuning and Troubleshooting: When you have a performance issue or a database problem that is impacting your users, it is never more important to have experience on your side. That's where our many years of experience have succeeded in problem-solving and bringing our clients through a tough database issue.
Development Support: We work with your development team to ensure the code and queries accessing the database are well-written and scalable. We also have extensive knowledge of code that lies within the database, such as PL/SQL and often assist our clients in writing this or provide these database development services as a complement to our DBA services.

Our team of experienced database professionals will analyze your system and work with your team to:

Improve database performance and response time
Minimize downtime and expenses
Make the best use of current hardware and software
Achieve your scalability and performance goals
Reduce future risk of poor performance
