What kind of summer break will your DBA be having? Sun, sea and sangria or a hotel lobby, dodgy WIFI and support calls?

We’re finally thawing out after a particularly long winter. The #beastfromtheeast is a distant memory and thoughts are turning to blue skies and beaches. Now is the time to start planning for that tricky holiday silly-season.

If your organisation has just one or two DBAs it can be pretty stressful to maintain cover over the summer holidays. Maybe you’re planning to “get by” with less DB2 resource that you usually need. Although winging it and hoping that nothing goes awry whilst your DBA sips their Pina Colada is an option, it’s not one that we would recommend!

Have you considered the cost to your organisation if one of your business critical DB2 applications were to be unavailable for an hour, a day or longer?!

Do you have a robust contingency plan for when your in-house DBAs are unavailable?

At Triton Consulting we offer a range of flexible DB2 services that can be tailored to your company’s requirements and allow you to manage resourcing cost effectively. Our Consultancy on Demand service for both DB2 z/OS and DB2 LUW is ideal for short-term resourcing over the holiday period. Also, it’s a “no-brainer”
