Database Patching & Upgrades keep your system running smoothly

Database patching and upgrades are necessary for all databases to keep them running at their best. Older versions eventually become unsupported as the focus shifts to newer, more advanced versions based on the latest technology, which can leave your database environment open to security threats and bugs if you don’t keep it up to date.

Database upgrades future-proof your business

Upgrading brings with it the benefits of the latest functionality and can help to future-proof your business. It is not compulsory to upgrade to the newest version as soon as it is released and we understand that the time is not always right to do so. Whilst upgrades can be done at a time that best suits your business, patches are released in response to bugs or security threats being discovered, so should be applied as soon as possible to protect your environment.

We have a strong history of assisting customers with patching and upgrades, whether it’s performing the work in its entirety or lending a helping hand to an internal Database Administrator. Our best practices have been refined over many years of practical experiences, so we are able to mitigate as much risk as possible and ensure all appropriate preparation is undertaken.

“We chose Xynomix from the multiple providers approached for our support requirement for a number of reasons. Initially we were impressed with their responsiveness and deep technical knowledge of both Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server databases. Their flexibility in providing mentoring to our on-site team meant increased cost efficiency against the already competitive annual costs and consultancy rates. We’re fully confident in their understanding of our needs and see them as an extension of our own team.”

“Xynomix worked with us on our recent Oracle License Review and provided us with valuable independent and confidential advice to help us through what can be a confusing and complex process. They provided useful expert knowledge on Oracle Licensing policy and also suggested how any gaps could be most effectively licensed. I would certainly recommend working with Xynomix on any future Oracle License Review.”

“We recently installed a new application which ran on Oracle but was unsure how to correctly license the environment. As a result, we engaged with Xynomix to advise on how best to do so. Xynomix ran an Independent Oracle License Review, which gave us full visibility on our license compliance. They highlighted the restrictions around various license types, whilst also detailing how to avoid any pitfalls moving forward.”
