Modification and configuration services
Though clients are responsible for database content, Rackspace performs modification and configuration tasks in accordance with explicit client instructions.
Connectivity management
DBAs manage connectivity between the client application and the databases in order to ensure efficient and uninterrupted communication. Utilizing database performance tools, DBAs can identify database tasks that are not tuned for optimal performance. Rackspace assists clients in designing connection pooling strategies to maximize usability of their database infrastructure. This service is provided as an initial design requirement or on an on-going basis. The following performance tools are included:
- SQL*Net
- Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connection pools
- Oracle SQL*Net
Event notification
If threshold warning levels exceed a critical parameter, an alert is sent to the monitoring system. Based on the specific alert, a ticket is created that notifies the Support team when the client needs to be contacted. Rackspace collaborates with the client to resolve problems within an agreed-upon timeframe.
