Hi,
We're a dot com company doing sales on the web 24/24h
7 days a week.
We're outsourcing all dba and systems production tasks
to a third party, that's 2 Oracle 8i databases and
10-12 unix servers.
We have written a production guide and the third party
must follow it. For example, they must check that no
disk goes beyond 80%, they must send me an email each
time an error is logged in the alert.log, they must
verify the export and backup logs,...
Depending on the situation, they're taking a
corrective action , send an email or called.
The bright side is that I can concentrate on what I
liked the most : development and tuning !!!
