Enterprise Database Consulting
Senior DBA expertise across Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and the cloud database services on AWS and Azure. We tune what's slow, harden what's exposed, and migrate what's ready to move.
SELECT o.order_id, c.region, SUM(l.amount) FROM orders o JOIN customers c ON c.id = o.customer_id JOIN order_lines l ON l.order_id = o.order_id WHERE o.posted_dt >= :start_dt GROUP BY o.order_id, c.region;

What we do
Every engagement is led by a senior DBA who measures before changing anything and documents every change for your auditors.
We find the statements, waits and plans that cost you the most, then fix them with evidence from AWR, Query Store or pg_stat_statements.
Planned, rehearsed moves to AWS and Azure, or between engines, with cutover windows sized from real test runs.
Round-the-clock monitoring, patching and backup verification, so your team stops getting paged for database issues.
How an engagement runs
Baseline workload, configuration and risk. You get a written findings report.
Prioritized changes with expected impact, effort and rollback for each.
Changes go through your change control, tested in lower environments first.
We compare the same metrics against the baseline and hand over the runbook.

Services
Four core practices, each delivered with native tooling for Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server and PostgreSQL. Every engagement starts from a measured baseline and ends with documented, verifiable results.

Practice
We find the statements, waits and design choices that cost you the most, fix them one at a time, and prove each fix with the same metrics we used to find it. We compare logical reads per execution rather than elapsed time, so cache warming can't flatter the result.
Practice
We move databases to AWS and Azure, or between engines, with cutovers rehearsed against production-sized copies. Target sizing, licensing and downtime estimates come from test runs, not vendor calculators.
Practice
We design availability and recovery around the RPO and RTO your business actually needs, then prove them with failover drills and full restore tests. A backup you haven't restored isn't a recovery plan.
Practice
We assess configuration, access and encryption against CIS Benchmarks and the controls your auditors test. You get a prioritized findings report and an evidence pack mapped to SOX, HIPAA or PCI DSS requirements.
Also available
Monitoring, incident response, patching and backup verification under a defined service level, with monthly health reports.
Scripted builds, refreshes and clones, schema change pipelines and repeatable environment standups. MySQL estates supported too.
Describe the problem and we'll tell you where to start, even if it's a one-day health check.
About Nemax
Nemax Solutions LLC is a database consulting firm built by practitioners who have run production estates for large enterprises.
We started Nemax because database work deserves engineering discipline. Too many tuning efforts end with a vague "it feels faster." We measure first, change one thing at a time, and prove the result with the same metrics we started from.
Our consultants work across Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL and MySQL, on-premises and in AWS and Azure. That breadth matters when a migration crosses engines or a performance problem spans the application, the database and the storage beneath it.
We work inside your change control, write runbooks your team can keep using, and leave every environment better documented than we found it.
Recommendations come with query output, not hunches.
Each change is isolated, tested and reversible.
Runbooks and findings your team keeps after we leave.
