The Database Performance Team is comprised of our services experts, who work tirelessly every day to guarantee the performance of your database.

| Funny, friendly, quick-witted, supporting, fast and courteous – but still able to get the job done with amazing competence. | Computer-like smarts, instant recall, a counselor, able to understand a problem and the solution quickly. | Technical, with clairvoyant foresight, with the knowledge and statistics to account for all issues, manages problems before they happen. | Remotely all-seeing, a director, good at multi-tasking, adapts-on-the-fly, cool in a crisis. | Insanely strong, can’t be stopped, hard to knock down, the product of rigorous testing, unlimited endurance. |
| Who am I? | Who am I? | Who am I? | Who am I? | Who am I? |
