About Us Our Services The Pythian Advantage News |
Leaders in Remote AdministrationPythian provides fractional IT infrastructure teams on a linear cost-to-effort basis to over 100 customers all over the world. We focus on the enterprise database tier, especially on Oracle, SQL Server and MySQL. Our services also extend one layer down from the database, to the operating systems, SANs and networks that support those databases, and also one layer up with outsourced support for SAP, Oracle E-Business Suite 11i, OAS, Peoplesoft and several other major application servers and ERP applications. Our model is unique in that it allows our larger customers to outsource some or all of the management of entire environments while still allowing our smaller customers to tap the subject matter expertise and 24x7 access to resources normally only available in very large enterprise infrastructure teams. For our customers that already have a DBA or even a team of DBAs, and for clients in search of special expertise in areas such as RAC, Streams, RMAN, Dataguard, performance tuning, security auditing, recovery planning and execution, clustering, MySQL scaleout, database sharding architecture and more, we provide a flexible, scalable, and reliable alternative to supplementing the in-house resources with contractors or short-term consultants. Unlike consultants and contractors, when the project is over our team can stay, and in fact remain on-call to support the initiative as long as is necessary. Our model is also unique in that our services are not in any way limited by a scope of work. As a result, we can easily and seamlessly be blended in with your existing team to substantially increase its overall horsepower, flexibility and capabilities, while maintaining all the advantages and continuity of your existing personnel. We pride ourselves on our expertise and you can evaluate that for yourself by browsing our technical blog. You might also check out our careers page for a sense of why many of the world's leading engineers currently work with us, or aspire to work with us, on your behalf. Learn more.
