Database Project aligned with your goals and growth
A flexible two-phase roadmap for every database transformation
Complex migrations, high-availability redesigns, new compliance mandates, or other custom database projects require specialised professionals—architects, senior DBAs, and other experts most organizations don’t have on hand for a one-off assignment. Nova DBA’s Database Project closes that gap with a two-phase engagement that adapts to any request, from lifting workloads to new hardware to scaling Always On clusters, so change lands cleanly and without added risk.
Every build starts with Discovery & Planning and ends with a complete hand-off plus focused knowledge-transfer workshops, giving your administrators the confidence to run day-two operations unaided. With validated, documented environments and skills embedded in-house, you’re ready for the next migration, HA upgrade, or capacity surge—while we remain available for future evolutions whenever you need us.
How Does Database Project Work
Phase 1: Discovery & Planning
1 Discovery & Planning:
Because a lift-and-shift migration, an Always On redesign, and a compliance overhaul each raise different questions, our discovery is tuned to the exact transformation you need. Architects inventory workloads, map dependencies, benchmark risk, and lead workshops to set success metrics and rollback thresholds. The deliverable is a Project Plan that becomes the scoring card for Phase 2: Execution & Delivery, ensuring every build task is measured against the goals you approved.
Phase 2: Execution & Delivery
2 Solution Design:
Leveraging the insights from Discovery & Planning, our architects turn the high-level blueprint into a build-ready design: detailed schema and indexing strategies, fail-over topology, migration wave plans, and cut-over playbooks tailored to your risk window. Proof-of-concept scripts validate performance on the target platform, while security, backup, and monitoring policies are embedded so operations start day one. You receive a comprehensive design pack—drawings, run-books, and automation templates—ready for sign-off and seamless hand-off to Execution & Delivery.
3 Deployment & Validation:
Our engineers execute the final cut-over during a planned maintenance window, implementing the new hardware, schemas, or Always On architecture defined in your Project Plan. A comprehensive validation checklist follows: smoke tests, performance baselines, fail-over simulations, and compliance spot-checks. Only when every metric meets the targets you approved do we sign off the environment and switch primary traffic—confident that rollback scripts and on-call specialists stand ready but unused.
4 Continuous Evolution:
Once the project is delivered, we’re never far. If you ever need a hand after go-live—whether it’s fine-tuning performance, applying a security patch, or planning the next capacity uplift—DBA On-Demand lets you reach the same senior experts on a full-time, part-time, or strictly ad-hoc basis. The knowledge that built your platform is always within reach, but only when you decide it’s useful.
