What We Cover
Sybase DBA services
The full DBA stack for Sybase and SAP ASA environments — from first install through HA failover testing — handled by engineers who administer Sybase every day.
Installation & Configuration
Fresh ASE or SAP ASA installation, server configuration, device setup, and tempdb tuning — matched to your workload profile from the first day.
Patch Management
Sybase EBF and SPS patch evaluation, staging environment testing, and production rollout with a documented rollback plan in place before any change lands.
Backup & Recovery
Sybase Backup Server configuration, dump and load strategy design, remote backup setup, and verified point-in-time restore — so recovery is a rehearsed procedure, not a discovery exercise.
Security & Access Control
Login and role management, permission auditing, encrypted connection configuration, and CIS benchmark hardening for compliance-sensitive Sybase environments.
High Availability & Warm Standby
ASE Warm Standby configuration, Replication Server setup for HA, and scheduled failover testing to agreed RTO and RPO targets — HA that actually works when called upon.
Replication & Data Distribution
Sybase Replication Server design, route configuration, subscription management, and continuous replication health monitoring for multi-site data distribution.
How We Work
Assessment first, changes second
Senior Sybase DBA expertise without the full-time overhead. Retainer or project basis — staffed by engineers with hands-on ASE and ASA experience across OLTP, financial services, and ERP environments.
Environment review before any change is made. Topology, device layout, backup approach, and replication routes documented first. Every patch and configuration change tested in staging before production — no exceptions.
Full documentation handed over at engagement close. Runbooks, architecture records, and change logs are yours — institutional knowledge that stays with your team regardless of what comes next.
Platforms & versions
Sybase ASE — versions 12.5, 15.x, 16.x
SAP ASA / SQL Anywhere — 12 through 17
Sybase Replication Server — design, routes, monitoring
Sybase IQ — analytics instances
Engagement models — on-demand or monthly retainer
Emergency response — available for critical incidents
Our Process
Four stages from assessment to ongoing administration
Step 1
Environment Assessment
Document your ASE or SAP ASA topology, device layout, replication routes, and current HA setup. Nothing is touched until we have a clear picture of what exists and how it's configured.
Step 2
Hardening & Optimisation
Apply security baseline, tune server configuration — memory, named caches, tempdb — and verify the backup and restore cycle works end to end with a tested recovery run.
Step 3
HA / DR Configuration
Configure Warm Standby or Replication Server to agreed RTO and RPO targets. Failover is tested in a scheduled maintenance window, not assumed to work based on configuration alone.
Step 4
Ongoing Administration
Named Sybase DBA on retainer or on-demand. Patch cycle managed, space monitored, incidents responded to, and all changes deployed through your agreed change management process.
