Let’s face it: the database market has undergone a transformation in recent years - data has become increasingly vital to business success, and more workloads have led to the adoption of more databases. Unfortunately, this transformation has meant the database administrator’s job has become even more complex: at any one organization, the DBA could be managing several database platforms, whether Oracle, SQL, MySQL or a variety of others.
At a time when IT success largely dictates business success, DBAs need efficient and effective processes for managing growing amounts of data across multiple database solutions. Of course, no one knows all this better than DBAs themselves – but we thinks it’s time they got a little recognition!
