Managing databases efficiently is critical for businesses that rely on data-driven decision-making, but hiring a full-time, senior-level Database Administrator (DBA) can be expensive and unnecessary for many organizations. That’s where Fractional DBA services come in—providing expert database management at a fraction of the cost.

Main Street Technical Services specializes in on-shore, senior-level Fractional DBA services, delivering tailored database solutions that reduce cloud hosting costs, optimize performance, and ensure seamless upgrades. Our team becomes an extension of your IT staff, giving you the expertise you need without the high overhead of a full-time DBA.

Cost Savings with a Fractional DBA

Many businesses assume they need a full-time DBA to manage their databases. Still, most organizations only require senior-level DBA support for specific projects, optimization, or ongoing maintenance. Our Fractional DBA model saves businesses thousands by providing:

• Cloud Hosting Cost Savings: Hosting databases on Azure or AWS can be expensive, often requiring additional services and complex configurations. Our cloud hosting solutions are 30-40% more cost-effective than Azure or AWS while maintaining the same reliability and performance.

• No Full-Time Salary Required: Hiring a senior DBA in-house can cost over $150K per year, plus benefits. With our fractional model, you get the same expertise at a lower cost without sacrificing quality.

• Predictable Pricing: We offer flexible, scalable DBA services that grow with your business needs, allowing you to only pay for what you use.

Fractional DBAs: An Extension of Your Team

When you work with Main Street Technical Services, you don’t just hire a vendor—you gain a dedicated team that integrates seamlessly into your IT operations. Our on-shore senior DBAs work alongside your developers and IT staff, providing:

• Proactive Database Monitoring: We prevent downtime before it happens, ensuring high availability and peak performance.

Database Upgrades, Optimization & Indexing Support
