Pythian utilizes advanced upgrade and migration tools, including Oracle GoldenGate, Data Guard, and Zero Downtime Migration (ZDM) methodologies. By setting up real-time cross-version replication, we keep your production databases fully operational while testing and staging the target environment. The final cutover takes place during a minimal maintenance window—often in as little as 15–30 minutes—preventing business disruption and transactional loss.
Yes. Our team of certified Oracle experts and Oracle ACEs helps enterprises upgrade from legacy versions (such as 11g, 12c, or 19c) to Oracle Database 23ai and Oracle Autonomous Database. We handle pre-upgrade health assessments, application compatibility testing, AI feature activation (such as Vector Search), and automated cloud migrations across OCI, Google Cloud, AWS, and Azure.
Yes. As the Google Cloud Database Partner of the Year, Pythian specializes in deploying and migrating mission-critical Oracle workloads to public cloud environments, including Oracle Database@Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). We handle architectural design, low-latency connectivity, security hardening, and continuous multi-cloud database management.
Organizations can cut operational database management spending by up to 60% compared to maintaining full-time in-house 24/7/365 DBA coverage. Pythian’s managed services give you continuous monitoring, proactive patch management, backup verification, and access to over 200+ Oracle certifications without the overhead of recruiting and retaining specialized staff.
Pythian’s deep-dive database health checks identify system bottlenecks to restore peak performance without requiring immediate hardware upgrades. Our consultants analyze:
- Inefficient SQL queries and execution plans
- CPU, memory, and I/O resource contention
- Indexing strategies and table partitioning
