Unparalleled service

Carib Data Limited provides top quality consulting services that can make your organisation's database systems meet your expectations and requirements in performance, reliability and cost-efficiency.

Pre-purchase advice and sizing

Our consultants have the in-depth knowledge of the full range of Oracle products and UNIX platforms required to help you make sensible decisions when purchasing database products or selecting a platform to best meet the needs of your organisation.

Our status as an Oracle Alliance Partner gives us access to the most up-to-date information on the latest Oracle technologies while our years of successful Oracle systems development ensures that our advice will be based on practical experience not advertising copy.

Contact us if you are installing or considering any of these cutting-edge products:

  • Oracle8
  • Oracle Web Application Server
  • Oracle VideoServer
  • Oracle PowerObjects
  • Mobile computing and remote database access systems

Purchasing Assistance

Carib Data Limited is a licensed reseller of Oracle Server, Oracle Express and Personal Oracle products. In addition we maintain close ties to principal distributors of Sun Microsystems, HP, IBM and Apple hardware and operating systems allowing us to provide a comprehensive purchasing service with direct support tailored to your needs.

Design services

A database system can never overcome the performance and flexibility limitations it gets from its design. We have 15 years experience in creating flexible performance-optimised designs for relational databases including:

  • United Nations Compensation Commission Claims System (Kuwait)
  • Sprint Communications AWDS Billing system
  • United Research Project Management database
  • US Government FTS2000 Service Order Tracking System
  • British Virgin Islands Payroll System

All of these systems owe their success to the quality of design applied at the outset. Let us do the same for you.

Whether your system is OLTP or Data Warehousing, Carib Data Limited can provide an unparalleled level of expertise. Contact us with your requirements. We'll be happy to discuss them with you.

Backup and Recovery planning

Frequent and usable backups are a certain requirement for all but the most trivial of databases. Yet few companies spend any time or effort making sure that their backup and recovery strategy will provide the protection that they require.

We can assess you current policy and provide solutions that will be tailored to your specific needs.

In addition, we provide both an off site storage site for physical media and a FTP site for online backups over ISDN with aggregation up to 10 B providing greater-than-ethernet speeds. See our page titled 'Support Services' for more details.

Firefighting and Troubleshooting

Few IT departments are large enough to include specialised trouble-shooting and problem resolution skills. Our consultants have worked with enough Oracle on open systems sites to have 'seen it all'. Available on-call 24 hours a day (in conjunction with the On-call Service) our consultants can help to ensure that your problems are resolved without undue disruption to your business.

We can also provide trouble-shooting and problem resolution services to organisations that do not subscribe to one of our support contracts - subject, of course, to availability.

Related services

Other services offered by Carib Data Limited are available to our consultation clients including advice on establishing cover policies for administration and establishing tuning goals for your Oracle database system. Contact us to see how we can help you reach your goals in performance, reliablitiy and cost-efficiency.

Why buy consulting services?

Real consultants (as opposed to most contractors who call themselves consultants in order to charge more and feel better) bring to the client a wealth of experience gained over time through trial and error. As a result the information they provide is not available elsewhere. Oracle's documentation is good, but it only tells part of the story. To get the rest you must find someone with extensive enough experience to have found it out themselves.

All of our consultants have that experience. In addition we operate a number of Oracle databases ourselves - with every conceivable option and combination of options - allowing us to experiment and stretch them to the breaking point - something you are advised not to try with your production system. But because we break things in the safely of the lab, you don't have to take the risk in your computer room.

Good consultants pay not just for themselves, but leave your organisation better informed.
