Within every self-respecting software house or IT service provider, there must be multiple professional figures specializedin various sectors of IT. This is particularly true for us at Tredipi who for many years have been providing companies and individuals with the best consultancy, assistance and tailor-made software development for every type of need at work, in order to increase productivity and everyone's satisfaction working reality.
This objective is pursued through great dedication, respect and listening to the customer but which would not otherwise be possible without the presence of professionals who know more than one programming language and who have gained a lot of experience in the sector. Furthermore, the differentiation of professional figures is also fundamental: for this reason in Tredipi there are all types of specialized workers - who fully take care of every phase of the projects in progress - starting from simple programmers up to more specific and complex topics: this is the case of the figure of the DB Administrator; a specialist unknown to most but who, in reality, plays a fundamental role within every organisation.
The acronym DB Administrator, an acronym borrowed from English and easily translatable into Italian, refers to the database administrator (in fact, DB Administrator means Database Administrator) a professional who specifically deals - taking responsibility - with managing and controlling all workflows from a databases, carrying out his activity in a passive manner, i.e. verifying, guaranteeing and ascertaining the integrity of the files, both in an active manner, operating concretely on the configuration of the same, operating installations on performance, safety and integrity. In essence, among the services offered by the DB Administrator there is a complete package of database surveillance and efficiency.
For those who are not very familiar with IT terms, the databases is nothing more than a digital archive containing different types of data, in order to then distribute them to authorized users or to all those who are permitted access. It therefore follows, in an increasingly digitalised world, that this figure plays an essential role for us at Tredipi and for the digital transformation of companies. This is because the data contained within adatabasescan be very important or sensitive, with the consequence that in the event of deletion or unexpected malfunction, the company that uses that databases may have significant problems. For this reason, to hold this position it is essential to follow a specific course of study in the subject and have a lot of experience behind you.
Although it may seem like a task exclusively for a digital archivist, theDB Administrator actually also deals with thesoftware developmentthat can run on the servers managed by him. In fact, the main task of the administrator is to create Databases that are organized or can be organized according to the indications of those who will use them, i.e. a small or medium-sized company, even a private individual or a multinational with many branch offices. For this reason, the DB Administrator carries out a complex and long study mechanism for each system - practiced together with company executives and managers - which is aimed at preserving and making the data accessible. Usually theDB Administrator plans and presents extremely customized solutions for the creation of the database, taking care of thebackendand front end, instructing therefore developers and programmers on how to do it.
Especially the front end of the company databases is a fundamental part of the work as every company aims for simplification and speed. Organizing the databases so that users or employees can - through a simple querying the database - quickly consult the necessary documents is a job that requires a lot of time and concentration for everything to work well: a single error that leads to not answering the question asked correctly can mean wasting a lot of time, resulting in work being blocked.
In addition to designing the databases, the professional figure in question also takes care of the software development to be installed to manage the stored data via a file manager system. The software in question verifies the integrity of the data with periodic control routines, enforcing privacy regulations and restoring damaged files where present. Furthermore, the work on access verification is also important, acting as a real supervisor: in this way the DB Administrator checks the authorizations requested, ensuring that access to the files occurs only by authorized users.
Finally, also monitors the performance of the databases by preparing periodic benchmarks with the aim of protecting the correct functioning of the structures and preventing the occurrence of sudden blocks or slowdowns, arranging where necessary disaster recovery plans that can throw many companies into panic: in short, it is the real anchor for the functioning and saving of multimedia corporate work.
