A.I.D.A
Artificial Intelligent Database Administrator
24/7 intelligent monitoring, automated maintenance, and proactive optimisation for your SQL Server environment—powered by AI.
The Challenge with Traditional DBA Work
Database administration is critical but time-consuming. Manual monitoring means issues are often discovered after they've already impacted your business.
Reactive, Not Proactive
Traditional monitoring catches problems after they occur. By then, users are already affected.
Limited Coverage
Human DBAs work business hours. Database issues don't. Critical problems can go unnoticed overnight.
Data Overload
SQL Server generates vast amounts of performance data. Manually analysing it all is impossible.
Cost Prohibitive
Full-time senior DBAs are expensive. Most businesses can't justify dedicated database staff.
