● Database & Storage Solutions
Your apps are only as strong as the data layer beneath them. 971 Technologies aligns database and storage architecture with your performance, availability, and cost targets—so critical systems run fast today and scale smoothly tomorrow.
We cover the full database lifecycle: platform selection (relational and NoSQL), schema design, indexing/partitioning, query optimization, HA/replication, observability, and managed DBA operations. For analytics, we build modern data platforms—managed DBs and warehouses, data lakes, and ELT pipelines—that turn raw data into reliable insights.
On storage, we design tiered and resilient architectures across SAN/NAS/object and HCI/SDS, leveraging NVMe, caching, dedupe/compression, snapshots, and replication. Backup and DR are built in with immutability and clean‑room recovery. Security is end‑to‑end: encryption, KMS/HSM, access controls, auditing, and UAE/regional compliance (e.g., PDPL, ISO 27001).
-
Which databases and platforms do you support?
971 Technologies supports PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch—plus managed services like AWS RDS/Aurora, Azure SQL/MI, and Google Cloud SQL. On storage, we work with SAN/NAS/object and platforms such as NetApp, Dell EMC, HPE, Pure, Nutanix, and Ceph.
-
Can you improve performance and availability without rewriting apps?
Yes. We tune queries and indexes, optimize connection pooling and caching, introduce read replicas/partitioning, and implement HA (e.g., SQL Always On, PostgreSQL Patroni, MySQL Group Replication) with health checks and automated failover.
-
Do you handle migrations and modernization?
Absolutely. We run discovery and schema assessments, use tools like DMS/SSMA/ADF/Glue, plan low‑downtime cutovers, and modernize to managed DBs, warehouses, or lakehouse patterns where it makes sense.
-
How do you secure sensitive data and meet compliance?
971 Technologies implements encryption at rest/in transit, KMS/HSM key management, RBAC/least‑privilege, auditing, masking/tokenization, and data classification—mapped to ISO 27001 and UAE requirements like PDPL.
-
What does a typical engagement look like?
Assessments and tuning take 2–4 weeks; migrations or re‑platforming 2–8 weeks depending on complexity. We provide runbooks, knowledge transfer, and optional managed DBA/storage operations for continuous reliability and cost control.
