FAQs

Quick answers about audits, savings, and database optimization.

How do you estimate savings?
We baseline spend, identify top cost drivers (compute, storage, network, replication), and map each driver to specific changes. We provide a conservative estimate and validate via metrics after implementation.
Do you support Oracle RAC and HA/DR?
Yes. We assess HA/DR posture, backup/restore confidence, failover testing, and apply right-sized HA patterns to reduce cost while improving resilience.
Can you optimize Snowflake and cloud warehouses?
Yes. We focus on warehouse sizing, auto-suspend, workload separation, clustering strategy, storage optimization, and governance guardrails to prevent spend spikes.
Do you provide ongoing managed services?
Yes. We offer a monthly “Cost Guard” engagement: health checks, tuning, dashboards, alerts, and advisory to keep costs predictable and performance stable.
