DBA Consulting Team

SYNCTobe has a professional DBA consulting team, with each member having more than 10 years of industry service experience. They have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by enterprise users in their databases. They offer tailored solutions and services that meet the specific needs of their clients.

SYNCTobe’s Consulting Services:
From the customer’s perspective, we provide meticulously designed and planned database integration solutions, offering the most comprehensive DBA consulting services. Our aim is to provide a comprehensive and all-in-one database solution. Our technical service offerings include:

• Migration: This includes data migration between different server types, as well as the migration of storage devices and other related components.
• Reorganization: We diagnose database inefficiencies and optimize storage to improve database performance.
• Upgrade: This involves upgrading the database version, allowing you to benefit from new features of the latest version without impacting the existing data in the database.
• Design: A well-designed database architecture enables the effective utilization of database functionality and resources, maximizing performance.
• Optimization: Database performance optimization involves addressing various bottlenecks across multiple layers of the database environment. It encompasses a wide range of areas, including hardware architecture, operating system, database parameters, database structure, and application system environment.
• Training: We offer practical education and training courses to assist clients in managing and utilizing databases effectively. Our courses are designed to meet the specific needs of enterprise users, allowing them to maximize their skills and management efficiency in database operations.
• Backup and Recovery Plan: A well-defined backup and recovery plan for databases ensures business continuity and aligns with the objectives and strategies for workload availability in the event of a disaster.
• Establishment and Drills of Database Disaster Recovery Mechanism: We provide services for establishing a database disaster recovery mechanism and assist clients in conducting regular drills to validate the disaster recovery Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
• Replication: Database replication involves copying data from one database to another, allowing for multiple copies of the database to be stored in different locations.
• Real Application Cluster: A dual-active (Active-Active) database architecture composed of two or more host nodes, where each node can independently provide services. RAC is designed to achieve higher performance by distributing the workload across multiple nodes, allowing for faster data transmission and avoiding database slowdowns.
• Oracle EBS Administration: Managing Oracle EBS requires a certain level of familiarity with the database as well as a good understanding and mastery of AP Tier, DB Tier, hardware architecture, operating systems, and networking. Only with this knowledge and expertise can one provide optimal support services and ensure the stability of business operations for enterprises.

Marathon Technologies was founded in 1993 in Littleton, Massachusetts, United States. A group of senior project managers and engineers with expertise in handling digital VAX FT fault-tolerant systems utilized their extensive experience to develop a software and technology solution that leverages multiple Wintel servers to operate as a single fault-tolerant system. This innovative solution brings a new level of high availability architecture without the complexity and high costs associated with traditional high availability and replication-based architectures.

In 2007, Marathon Technologies pioneered a new field with its highly advantageous virtualization performance (v-available) technology, establishing itself as the industry’s leading brand. Today, Marathon serves thousands of enterprise customers worldwide who use Marathon everRun® software. With this software, businesses can completely avoid service interruptions or data loss even in the absence of IT personnel.

Marathon everRun® not only helps you save more costs but also addresses enterprise resource security concerns in a more efficient manner compared to traditional cluster or failover technologies.

EverRun MX Providing uninterrupted high availability for applications

Welcome to the world of perpetual online connectivity
We live in a perpetually online world. Not only do your users and customers expect 24/7 access to your business, but they also demand high availability. To succeed, you must achieve the concept of being always online and become an always-on business. Today, enterprises can no longer accept system downtime as a standard practice.

Do you still react only after a failure occurs?
If, like most organizations, you only react to system failures when the system breaks down and business operations come to a halt, with applications unable to respond to users, it can have a significant impact on sales, critical operations, employee productivity, and customer satisfaction. However, because you truly have no other choice, you compromise on the downtime caused by system failures.

You don’t have to compromise on downtime anymore
You no longer have to compromise on downtime or the risk of data loss when your system experiences failures. Now, you can transition from a passive, recovery-based approach with downtime to a proactive, downtime-avoidance-based approach. Your business can achieve uninterrupted operation of critical applications during failures, ensuring application availability. What’s even more valuable is that you can achieve this in a simple and affordable solution.

everRun MX Achieving high application availability
Marathon’s everRun Mx is the world’s first software-based fault tolerance solution that supports symmetric multiprocessing and single/multi-core Microsoft applications. It provides a simple and affordable solution for businesses with limited IT resources to keep their applications available during system failures, ensuring uninterrupted business operations. With the use of everRun Mx, all your Microsoft applications can achieve full fault-tolerant protection at a lower price compared to recovery-based high availability solutions currently available.
