Oracle Database Services
We deliver specialist Oracle Database services for organisations where database performance, availability, and security directly impact business operations. Our expertise covers the full database lifecycle – from architecture and implementation through optimisation, upgrades, and ongoing managed services.
Whether you’re troubleshooting performance issues, planning a major upgrade, consolidating onto Exadata, or need reliable ongoing support, we bring the deep Oracle Database knowledge that generalist consultants can’t match.
Performance & Optimisation
When database performance degrades, everything slows down. We diagnose root causes, implement targeted fixes, and architect solutions that deliver sustained performance – not temporary workarounds.
- Performance diagnostics and root cause analysis.
- AWR/ASH analysis and interpretation.
- Indexing strategy and schema optimisation.
- Exadata-specific optimisation.
- SQL tuning and execution plan optimisation.
- Memory and I/O optimisation.
- RAC performance tuning.
- Capacity planning and rightsizing.
Migration & Upgrades
Database upgrades and migrations carry real risk. We plan and execute with the rigour that mission-critical systems demand – comprehensive testing, validated rollback procedures, and minimal-downtime cutovers.
- Oracle Database version upgrades (all versions).
- Character set migrations and conversions.
- Database consolidation onto Multitenant.
- Minimal-downtime migration strategies (Data Guard, GoldenGate).
- Platform migrations (on-premise to OCI, cross-platform).
- Exadata migrations and implementations.
- Single-instance to RAC conversions.
- Post-migration validation and optimisation.
Security & Compliance
Database security isn’t optional. We implement robust security controls, encryption, and auditing that satisfy compliance requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.
- Security assessments and vulnerability remediation.
- Database Vault configuration.
- Data masking and subsetting.
- CIS benchmark compliance.
- Transparent Data Encryption (TDE) implementation.
- Audit Vault and Database Firewall.
- Privilege analysis and least-privilege implementation.
- Security hardening for regulatory requirements.
High Availability & Disaster Recovery
When databases support critical operations, downtime isn’t acceptable. We design and implement HA/DR solutions that match your recovery requirements and budget.
- Data Guard implementation and optimisation.
- RAC implementation and support.
- Backup and recovery strategy.
- Disaster recovery testing and runbooks.
- Active Data Guard for read scaling.
- GoldenGate replication design.
- RMAN optimisation and validation.
- Failover automation.
Managed Services
Ongoing database management from engineers who know Oracle inside out. Proactive monitoring, regular maintenance, and rapid response when issues arise.
- 24/7 monitoring and alerting.
- Performance monitoring and trending.
- Quarterly health checks and recommendations.
- Incident response and resolution.
- Proactive patch management.
- Backup verification and testing.
- Capacity planning and forecasting.
- Direct access to senior Oracle DBA’s.
Why BSC for Oracle Database?
DEEP ORACLE DATABASE EXPERTISE
We’re not generalist DBAs who also do Oracle. Our team specialises in Oracle Database – performance internals, RAC, Data Guard, Exadata, Multitenant. When you hit a complex problem, we’ve likely solved it before.
FULL-STACK CONTEXT
Database issues rarely exist in isolation. Our expertise across Oracle’s full stack – OCI, Linux, applications, middleware – means we understand how your database interacts with everything around it. Better diagnosis, better solutions.
SENIOR ENGINEERS, DIRECT ACCESS
You work directly with the engineers who solve your problems – not account managers or junior staff learning on your systems. Questions get answered by people who know Oracle Database deeply.
MISSION-CRITICAL EXPERIENCE
We’ve supported Oracle databases that organisations depend on around the clock. We understand what’s at stake, how to manage risk, and how to communicate with stakeholders when critical systems are involved.
