Bluewolf , a leading IT consulting firm, today reported the results of its study, "Rapid ROI with Remote DBA: The Operational and Cost Benefits of Bluewolf's bw.DirectDBA Remote Database Administration Service," revealing that database management costs can be reduced by up to 60% with its remote DBA managed service. Bluewolf's Remote Database Administration (DBA) managed service, bw.Direct DBA(TM), reduces the cost of day-to-day monitoring and maintenance of databases such as Oracle , MySQL and Microsoft SQL.
Heineken USA, Benjamin Moore & Co., Ogilvy & Mather, Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc. and Cooper Health Systems are among the many organizations that have turned to Bluewolf for remote DBA services.
According to Michael Kirven, co-founder and principal at Bluewolf, "Because of today's business environment and the need for tightened efficiencies, more and more organizations are turning to Bluewolf for database administration. With our remote database administration solution, we act as an extension of your staff, and are the only remote administration service that combines the cost efficiencies of remote administration with an onshore staff."
"Bluewolf's database monitoring services provide us with access to a level of monitoring services we could not afford to build internally," said Raul Velaquez, Data Architect, Heineken USA Inc. "Their support, guidance and response times have been unbelievable."
For Heineken USA, a premier beer importer in the United States and a subsidiary of Heineken N.V. (Netherlands), Bluewolf manages its Oracle 10g database that houses all of the company's information on sales, inventory and orders. Bluewolf's remote database administration services provide Heineken with complete around-the-clock monitoring, as well as access to highly skilled, certified database experts to help with ongoing maintenance to their business-critical systems.
bw.DirectDBA Service Delivers Up to 60% Cost Savings
Bluewolf helps companies increase productivity and reduce the costs of database administration. With the average cost of an in-house DBA at $138,000 per year (including benefits and training), compared to $54,000 a year ($4,500 a month) for the bw.DirectDBA service, companies can reduce database management budgets by as much as 60% by outsourcing to Bluewolf. In addition, because Bluewolf's DBA services are delivered at a contractually set price, it allows for more granular and effective financial planning for future IT expenditures.
At the same time, to assist internal resources with limited bandwidth, Bluewolf's Remote DBA service allows organizations to offload monitoring and proactive maintenance. Managers are able to reduce the risk of a single point of failure while enabling internal resources to work at 100% capacity. The monthly bw.Direct DBA service provides 24x7 support, leveraging Bluewolf's on-shore remote DBA staff, eliminating many of the problems around time zone and work day gaps caused by offshore outsourcing. The core bw.DirectDBA service includes dedicated Senior DBA resources, a single point of contact for support questions, monitoring tools and analytics, as well as case tracking and regular proactive system audits.
