Why Should You Consider DBA as a Service?
What common issues do businesses commonly face and how can Digital Samurai's expert database administrators and data consultants help your company?
DBAs are in High Demand
DBA's are incredibly hard to find. We have created a list of over 200 vacancies for DBA's in just the last 60 days.
Everyone is after a DBA to extend a team or replace a team member moving to a new job.
Demand for DBA's outpaces the supply and, as a result, the costs of hiring a DBA are rising.
Low Supply of DBAs
It is almost impossible to find a junior DBA role anywhere.
In fact, the one place that has them occasionally is London - and they are paying up to £45,000 for a junior DBA with 1 years experience!
Our experienced DBA's actively mentor our Junior DBA's and provide expert advice.
DBA Salaries are Expensive
Salaries are really sky high for DBA's right now.
In London they can be anywhere from £60,000 to £90,000 and they offer remote working.
Can you compete with London prices and large business budgets? Find out how to get access to the skills you need for the budget you have.
Immediate DBA Expertise
Don't waste three months looking for a DBA employee and another three months familiarising them with your business processes just for them to leave after a few weeks.
Fill that skills gap now with DBaaS.
Our team of DBA experts are available 24/7 to monitor and remediate your databases.
No Single Point of Failure
Having a single in-house DBA employee is great until they go on holiday, are off sick, or are sent on a training course.
In reality, companies don't just need a single DBA employee - you really need a team.
DBAaaS fills that gap by removing the single point of failure and providing 24/7 support.
Better Value than In-House
DBA teams can be expensive and this is especially risky for smaller businesses.
With our DBAaaS solutions, you can focus your internal resources on delivering visible projects to customers and stakeholders.
We'll complete any additional tasks for a lower cost without sacrificing any of the quality.
DBaaS Solutions That Empower Your Business

What Solutions Do Our DBA Experts Provide?


Reliable database backups and disaster recovery solutions.
In many cases, a database administrator is tasked with protecting and recovering data in a disaster scenario.
Many companies realise that conducting regular data backups and ensuring that disaster recovery schemes are in place is important, but some companies can't justify hiring an expensive in-house DBA team just for this purpose
That's where Digital Samurai's team of database administration experts come in.
We provide elite database backup solutions and reliable, effective disaster recovery solutions at a fraction of the price of hiring an in-house DBA team, without sacrificing any of the quality.
Capacity Planning
We will make sure that your databases are able to handle your desired volume of data.
Performance Monitoring
By auditing and monitoring your databases, we can improve their performance and efficacy.
Database Integrity Checks
Database integrity is critical and we make sure to conduct regular data verification checks.


Robust database security and data privacy software.
Users and applications should only be able to access the data they are authorised to see.
This is the fundamental idea behind database security and, when implemented correctly, ensures that your company is well-protected against cyber threats, data leaks, and GDPR violations.
It is a DBA's role to make sure that a database is secure, even down to the row level.
With Digital Samurai's team of DBA specialists, you can rest easy knowing that your databases are secured 24/7 against internal and external threats, data leaks, and data corruption issues.
Security Audits
We provide regular security audits to identify and fix vulnerabilities, threats, and weaknesses.
Health Audits
Health audits are a brilliant way of detecting performance issues and fixing them quickly.
Stats Management
We provide detailed statistics and audits that help us constantly improve your databases.


Optimise database performance and minimise issues.
Database servers usually contain multiple databases connected to a range of applications, and that's where a DBA comes in.
A DBA's role is to make sure your databases are performing well, not impacting each other, and that any issues are fixed right away.
Digital Samurai offers a 24/7 database monitoring solution with issue remediation and out-of-hours support to ensure that your company's important databases remain fully functional, up-to-date, and fast.
Expert Data Support
Our DBaaS solution includes database administration support from our expert team.
Database Optimisation
We constantly monitor your databases and optimise them to improve performance.
Issue Remediation
Any issues with your data or databases will be detected, identified, fixed, and reported.
