What Is DBA Support? (And Why It’s Not the Same as Managed Database Services)

DBA support and managed database services get used interchangeably — but they’re not the same thing, and knowing the difference matters if you’re trying to close coverage gaps in your database operations. In this video, we break down what DBA support actually is, how it differs from fully managed services, and why it matters for companies with an in-house database admin.

Most in-house DBAs split their time between routine maintenance and internal projects — which means after-hours coverage, on-call response, and routine maintenance can fall through the cracks. DBA support fills that gap without replacing your existing team or institutional knowledge. Solvaria provides DBA support built around exactly this: on-call coverage, routine database maintenance, and monitoring for the hours your in-house admin can’t cover.
