Database Administration

Database Administration is the disciplined practice of installing, configuring, securing, operating, and optimizing database platforms so that applications remain available, fast, and trustworthy. It ensures that data is stored safely, retrieved efficiently, and protected from loss or unauthorized access. A strong administration capability lets organizations make timely decisions, meet compliance duties, and scale systems as demand grows.

In this bootcamp the focus is on Microsoft SQL Server for on premises environments and on managed cloud services in Azure and AWS. Learners will plan and build instances, create and tune databases, manage security, automate routine work, backup and restore data, and design high availability and disaster recovery strategies. They will also learn how to monitor performance, investigate bottlenecks, and communicate clear findings to technical and business teams.

Modern Database Administration connects with everyday business needs. The work supports systems such as ERP, CRM, HRM, and eCommerce that must run reliably during business hours and beyond. It aligns changes to planned maintenance windows, documents risks, and validates results so that data remains consistent, auditable, and useful.
