It operates over the cloud, allowing users to manage and access their databases via the internet, with us managing the underlying infrastructure.
Most DBaaS providers support a wide range of database types, including traditional SQL databases like MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, and Percona, as well as NoSQL databases such as Redis, MongoDB and Couchbase. This variety ensures that different data handling needs and preferences are catered to.
We implement robust security measures including data encryption, secure data transfer protocols, network firewalls, and regular security audits. Access controls and authentication mechanisms are also in place to ensure that only authorised personnel can access the database.
Yes, one of the key advantages of DBaaS is its scalability. You can easily scale your database resources up or down based on your current needs, without the need for physical hardware changes. This scalability is automated and can be adjusted to cater for fluctuations in demand.
DBaaS can be more cost-effective than traditional database management as it eliminates the need for upfront hardware investments and reduces the costs associated with maintenance and administration. The pay-as-you-go pricing model also means you only pay for the resources you use.
