Unique advantages of choosing Managed Services for MySQL/MongoDB Databases
Managed Service Provider(MSP) for database management refers to professional services provided for backend databases like MySQL and MongoDB. Generally, we define the scope of work and customers are charged based on the work done. An MSP for database management will provide defined set of activities like proactive monitoring, query tuning, schema optimization and will ensure the activities are done without fail irrespective of the other works done at the database level.
By opting for a managed service for database management customers can get the benefit of achieving more than 30% cost reduction at infrastructure ( Cloud ) & operational level and 50% reduction in TCO for databases. Being an MSP for database management Mydbops team has helped the customers to prevent more than 1500+ outages and fine-tuned around 1,00,000 slow queries proactively.
Open source market has a lot of new tools and techniques to solve many production problems in the database. Every organization needs to adopt latest technologies used for MySQL/MongoDB like,
- Databases on Cloud ( RDS / Aurora )
- Galera/ Cluster
- MySQL Group Replication
- SQL Load balancers (Maxscale / ProxySQL)
- Percona Server for MongoDB
- MongoDB OPS Manager
- MongoDB Replicaset and Sharding
We all have various goals based on the area of interest and the time we spent to achieve the goal is very important so I recommend to choose an MSP for the database management so that we are not going to be disturbed with sudden treats at the database level and spent the maximum of our time in achieving the goal/target. Traditionally many visionaries had built a strong in-house DBA team to manage the database and its operation but the fast-growing technology pushes the organization to invest a lot to drive the team so it is better to choose an MSP and the benefit is the in-house team also gets updated with the latest tools available in market with no additional efforts/cost.
The final question arises in all our mind is security for the data. Especially for the banking, financial and healthcare sectors where the data is highly confidential. There are MSP for database services who understand this concern and they provide the extensive support by abiding all security compliance like HIPAA, PCDC's, etc and Mydbops is also one of them.
Its quite good experience with MyDbops. I love the attitude of mydbops team and the way of dealing with customers. We are happy with their service and We have long term relationship with them -Rajesh Gupta, Noida
