Databases
What are databases?
Information is the life blood of organisations. Nowadays this data is stored and organised within various applications referred to as databases. These can vary from small simple database containing a small number of records to large complex corporate databases containing millions of records. Typically databases can be found on a single users PC, an office server to load balancing multi-server farms. Databases are also an important and rich resource.
The three main database platforms are:
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle
- MySQL
Databases are the core or engine of majority of applications such as:-
- Order processing
- Sales management
- Customer relationship management
- Inventory management
- Medical records

Databases like any organisational resource need effective management and maintenance otherwise performance can suffer and remedial costs mount. In addition, database like any other application need the latest vendor security patches to minimise threats and weaknesses. In addition, they need to evolve and grow to meet organisational and user needs.
Robust Design
Central to this aspect is that effective design and architecture from the onset by experienced and qualified personnel. This helps ensure that a properly designed database is designed to be scalable and capable of handling the expected data traffic and user base. These days many of corporate databases need to be running 24x7 365 days and interact with many diverse applications including websites, internal applications, mobile wireless devices to mobile phones.
Databases normally contain valuable and confidential data and are thus a prime target for hackers, internal theft, identity thieves, etc. Security is understandably a top priority for organisations and their clients/customers. MailSure-It has the knowledge and experience to help protect against such threats and thus minimise potential litigation risks.
