Applications come and go; data endures. The database layer carries your organisation’s most valuable asset and its most unforgiving workload — and it punishes neglect quietly, through creeping slowness, missed backups and single points of failure that only reveal themselves at the worst moment.
Everest Systems implements, migrates, tunes and supports the database platforms behind critical systems, with the depth to handle everything from a single struggling PostgreSQL instance to a multi-node Oracle estate with five-figure-per-hour downtime costs. We combine old-school DBA discipline — backups verified, patches applied, growth forecast — with modern platform engineering across cloud and on-premises.
What's included
Reduction in
manual workflow load
Oracle Services
- Oracle Database implementation, upgrades and consolidation — on-premises, engineered systems and cloud, including complex multi-version estates
- High availability and disaster recovery with Real Application Clusters (RAC), Data Guard and GoldenGate replication — architectures where a node failure is a log entry, not an outage
- Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) migrations and implementations — including Exadata Cloud, Autonomous Database and hybrid architectures that preserve your licence investment
- Performance engineering — AWR-driven diagnosis, SQL tuning, partitioning strategy and memory/storage optimisation that fixes causes, not symptoms
- Licence position reviews and cost optimisation — Oracle licensing is a minefield of cores, options and virtualisation rules; we have walked it many times and routinely find six-figure savings
PostgreSQL & Open-Source Databases
- PostgreSQL architecture, implementation, tuning and 24/7 support — streaming replication, failover automation (Patroni), connection pooling and backup done properly (pgBackRest)
- Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migration — schema and PL/SQL conversion, data migration and parallel-run validation. For many workloads this removes six-figure annual licence costs with no loss of capability
- MySQL/MariaDB and MongoDB deployment, hardening and support
- Managed cloud databases — Amazon RDS and Aurora, Azure SQL and Database for PostgreSQL, Google Cloud SQL — with the governance wrapper the cloud consoles don’t give you
Microsoft SQL Server
- Implementation, upgrades and migrations — including Always On availability groups and failover clustering
- Performance troubleshooting, index and query optimisation, and estate consolidation
Cross-Platform Services
- Database health checks and performance audits — a fixed-price engagement with findings ranked by risk and effort, in language your leadership can act on
- Backup, recovery and DR design for every database estate — with restore tests that prove the theory
- Database security — encryption (TDE), privileged access management, auditing and data masking for non-production environments
- 24/7 remote DBA support — proactive monitoring, patching, capacity management and on-call response. Your database team, without the headcount.

FAQ
Common questions
Everything you need to know before we start working together.
How long does a typical automation project take?
It depends on complexity. A single workflow can be live in a few weeks. Multi-system projects with AI components typically take longer. We’ll give you a realistic timeline after our discovery call—no surprises.
What access do you need to our systems?
We request only the minimum access required for each integration. For most projects, this means API keys or OAuth connections. We document all access and follow least-privilege principles.
Who owns the automations you build?
You do. Everything we build belongs to you. We provide full documentation, and you can maintain or modify the workflows yourself. We’re also happy to provide ongoing support if you prefer.
What happens if something breaks after launch?
We don’t disappear after launch. If something breaks or needs adjustment, our team is available to quickly diagnose and resolve the issue. We also offer ongoing support and optimization to ensure everything continues to run smoothly as your business evolves.
How do you handle data security?
Absolutely. We’re platform-agnostic and work with whatever tools you already use. If you have preferred vendors or existing technical teams, we collaborate seamlessly.
Can you work with our existing tools and vendors?
That’s exactly what our discovery process is for. We’ll help you identify the highest-impact opportunities based on time savings, error reduction, and strategic value.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
What if we're not sure what to automate first?
Each session is 50-60 minutes. We’ll decide together how often to meet—typically weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your needs and schedule.
From a struggling query to a full platform migration — if it holds data, we can make it faster, safer and cheaper to run. Start with a fixed-price database health check.
