Case Study: Thermon achieves 50%+ database administration cost savings and 24x7 DBA coverage with Datavail Database Services

Thermon - Customer Case Study

Thermon, a medium-enterprise industrial manufacturing company, faced rising database administration costs, inconsistent DBA coverage (including nights/weekends/holidays), and turnover/burnout. To address these issues they engaged Datavail and its Datavail Database Services to improve administration quality, provide 24x7 coverage, and reduce overall cost and staffing risk.

Datavail delivered managed remote database services—covering upgrades and migrations, assessments and health checks, and performance tuning—effectively providing an entire DBA department at the cost of a single senior DBA. As a result Datavail helped Thermon lower database administration costs (saving >50%), dramatically improve DBA coverage, expertise, availability, reliability, performance and overall environment quality; Thermon rates onboarding and ongoing support from Datavail as excellent and called the engagement “the best decision we’ve ever made.”
