Managed Data Services

Keep your data platforms fast, secure and available. We run Databricks data platforms and manage Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases, so your teams can focus on using data rather than maintaining it.

Overview

Reliable data platforms, expertly run

Most organisations now depend on a mix of transactional databases and modern analytics platforms. Keeping them patched, tuned, backed up and secure takes specialist skills that are hard to hire and keep.

Our managed data services cover two areas:

  • Data platform services on Databricks: designing, building and operating lakehouse platforms, data pipelines and governance so your data is ready for analytics and AI.
  • Database managed services for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL: proactive monitoring, performance tuning, patching, upgrades, backup and recovery, and migrations.

We can take on a one-off project, run your platforms day to day, or support your in-house team.

FAQ

Managed data questions

Which databases do you manage?

We manage Oracle Database, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL, whether they run on premises, on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure or on other public clouds.

What are your Databricks data platform services?

We design, build and operate Databricks lakehouse platforms, including data ingestion pipelines, Delta Lake storage, Unity Catalog governance and the workloads that feed BI dashboards and AI models.

Can you migrate our databases to the cloud?

Yes. We plan and carry out upgrades and migrations of Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL databases to newer versions and to cloud platforms, with testing and cut-over plans designed to minimise downtime.

Is this an ongoing service or a one-off project?

Either. Some clients engage us for a health check or migration project; others ask us to run their databases and data platforms on an ongoing managed service.
