Every organization that manages data requires a system of database administration to oversee and ensure the proper deployment and maintenance of databases. With the proliferation of business applications that leverage information from databases, there is an increasing need to organize data effectively to deliver value to the business. Businesses are taking advantage of the upsurge in applications to gain a competitive advantage. The result is that todays DBAs are facing many challenges including multi-tier architectures, distributed data and applications, data warehousing, replication and transformation of data, cloud-based/internet-enabled databases, and the need to store and manipulate complex multimedia data. All these factors are placing an incredible strain on database administrators, and drifting them from more strategic functions. With such changes in the industry and market place, global businesses are turning to Remote Database Administration (remote DBA) to prevent DBA burnout and staff turnover, reduce system vulnerability and increase productivity.
