To maintain competitiveness and operational efficiency — not to mention ensure security and compliance when your database version reaches End of Life (EOL) – it’s crucial to upgrade your database systems from time to time. One of the most compelling reasons to choose a professional service is the reduced risk.

To make data count and to ensure cloud computing is unabated, companies and organizations must have highly available databases. A basic high availability database system provides failover (preferably automatic) from a primary database node to redundant nodes within a cluster. HA is sometimes confused with “fault tolerance.”
