Frequently Asked Questions

About Our Database Managed Services

How Do Managed Services Improve Database Performance and Security?

Managed services help enhance performance and protect sensitive data by:

  • Identifying performance bottlenecks through regular tuning and index analysis
  • Applying patches and security updates promptly
  • Monitoring for threats and anomalies 24/7
  • Implementing disaster recovery protocols with routine testing
  • Aligning with industry standards such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and GDPR

Our team at Buchanan combines automation, analytics, and certified DBAs to ensure your databases remain secure, fast, and reliable.

What are Database Managed Services and How Do They Differ from In-House DBA Support?

Database Managed Services (DBMS) involve partnering with a third-party provider to manage, optimize, and secure your database environment. Unlike in-house DBA teams, managed services offer:

  • Round-the-clock monitoring and global support
  • Scalable expertise across platforms and cloud providers
  • Predictable costs through service agreements
  • Reduced risk from staff turnover or skill shortages

With Buchanan, you gain access to a proven team of certified professionals and a full suite of services that complement your business without the overhead of maintaining in-house DBA coverage.

What Are the Main Benefits of Outsourcing Database Management?

Outsourcing database management allows organizations to focus on innovation and business growth while offloading time-consuming database administration tasks. Key benefits include:

  • 24/7 monitoring and rapid incident response
  • Access to specialized expertise across multiple database platforms
  • Improved performance and uptime through proactive health checks and tuning
  • Enhanced security and compliance with built-in encryption, role-based access control, and audit support
  • Cost efficiency by avoiding full-time DBA hiring and infrastructure investments

At Buchanan, we deliver these benefits through scalable managed services tailored to your operational and compliance needs.

What Core Services Should I Expect from a Top-Tier Database Managed Services Provider?

A trusted Database Managed Services (DBMS) provider should offer:

  • Ongoing performance tuning and database health assessments
  • 24/7 monitoring and alerting with guaranteed SLAs
  • Database tuning, indexing, and maintenance tasks
  • Patch management and version upgrades
  • Backup, high availability, and disaster recovery support
  • Security hardening, user access control and compliance auditing
  • Support for hybrid, cloud migration, and on-premises environments

Our DBMS solutions at Buchanan encompass all the above, with the flexibility to supplement your existing IT team or fully manage your database environment.

How Cost-Effective Are Managed Database Services?

Managed database services are a cost-effective alternative to hiring and retaining a full internal DBA team. They provide:

  • Predictable pricing models based on usage and scope
  • Reduced operational expenses—no need for 24/7 staff
  • Lower infrastructure and licensing costs with cloud optimization
  • Improved ROI through faster issue resolution and performance tuning

Our services at Buchanan are designed to maximize value by aligning support levels with your business needs, scaling up or down as required.

How Do Managed Database Services Scale with Business Growth?

As your business evolves, your database needs may change. Managed services are built for:

  • Flexible support levels, from part-time DBA help to fully managed environments
  • Resource scalability to handle seasonal traffic or business expansion
  • Strategic advisory support for cloud migration, cost control, and compliance
  • Integrated support models across North America, offering both onshore and offshore delivery

We adapt our services based on your environment, goals, and performance metrics—ensuring long-term scalability and reliability.
