What is managed Oracle cloud hosting?

Managed Oracle cloud hosting combines the infrastructure required to run an Oracle environment with ongoing technical management. Rather than purchasing cloud capacity and managing it alone, the customer receives platform monitoring, incident response, patch management, backups, recovery support and Oracle DBA assistance under an agreed service.

What is included in Pro DBA Oracle cloud hosting?

Pro DBA’s service can include hosting design, environment provisioning, migration, 24/7 monitoring, patch-cycle management, incident and change management, vulnerability management, backups, replication and access to UK-based Oracle specialists. The exact scope is agreed around the workload and the level of responsibility the customer wants Pro DBA to take.

Is Pro DBA Cloud the same as Oracle Cloud Infrastructure?

No. Pro DBA Cloud is Pro DBA’s managed hosting service delivered from UK data centres. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, usually called OCI, is Oracle’s public cloud platform. Pro DBA also has Oracle Cloud specialists, so organisations comparing managed private cloud, OCI or hybrid options can ask the team to assess which model fits their workload.

Where will our Oracle data be hosted?

Pro DBA’s managed cloud platform uses data centres located in the UK, with replication available between two UK locations. If your solution includes OCI or another public cloud platform, data residency will depend on the regions selected for that separate deployment.

Can Pro DBA migrate our existing Oracle database to the cloud?

Yes. Pro DBA can assess the existing Oracle environment, design the target architecture and plan the migration. The work can include rehearsal, cutover planning, rollback preparation and post-migration checks covering data, application connectivity, performance, backups and monitoring.

Can we use our existing Oracle licences in a hosted environment?

Potentially, but this must be checked before migration. Oracle licensing can be affected by the database edition, licensed options, processor configuration, virtualisation and hosting model. Pro DBA provides Oracle licensing services and can review the proposed environment before a final architecture is approved.

How does Pro DBA protect availability and recovery?

The service can combine proactive monitoring, managed backups, cross-data-centre replication and an architecture designed around the customer’s availability and recovery requirements. Recovery-time objectives and recovery-point objectives should be agreed during design so that the hosting solution reflects the real impact of downtime and data loss.

Does the service include 24/7 Oracle support?

Yes. Pro DBA operates a 24/7 service and provides direct access to UK-based specialists. Response and escalation arrangements are documented in the agreed service levels. Your response times and escalation arrangements are set out in your support contract.

How much does managed Oracle cloud hosting cost?

Pricing depends on the database estate, compute and storage requirements, availability design, backup retention, support coverage, migration work and any licensed Oracle features involved. Pro DBA assesses the environment before providing a hosting proposal, avoiding a generic package that may be underpowered or unnecessarily expensive.

When to act

When Oracle Hosting Becomes an Operational Risk

Oracle environments often remain on the same infrastructure long after it becomes expensive, difficult to maintain or unsuitable for current availability requirements.

Large problems rarely appear without warning

They build through recurring issues, unclear ownership and technical decisions that keep being delayed. Pro DBA helps you identify the cause, reduce the risk and take the right next step.

Get in Touch

The Platform Has Become Difficult to Maintain

Ageing infrastructure, unsupported components and limited capacity make routine Oracle management harder and increase the risk attached to every change.

Ownership Is Split Across Too Many Suppliers

The hosting provider, network team, DBA and application supplier all own separate parts of the service. When something fails, responsibility becomes unclear and resolution slows down.

Recovery Has Never Been Properly Proven

Backups may be running, but restore procedures, cross-site replication and recovery responsibilities have not been tested against real business requirements.

Everything Required to Run Oracle in the Cloud

Managed hosting should provide more than compute and storage. Pro DBA takes responsibility for the infrastructure, operational processes and Oracle database management needed to keep your environment secure, available and properly maintained.

Run Oracle Without Carrying the Hosting Burden

Pro DBA’s Oracle cloud managed services give your organisation a defined technical owner for the platform, database and day-to-day operational work.

More Resilient Oracle Services

Clearer Technical Ownership

You have one accountable team for the hosted platform and Oracle database, reducing the delays caused when several suppliers own different parts of the environment.

Less Pressure on Internal Teams

Routine monitoring, patching, incident response and infrastructure management no longer depend entirely on limited internal resources.

Controlled Maintenance and Change

Patches, platform changes and maintenance work follow an agreed process, reducing the risk created by missed updates or rushed technical decisions.

Our process

How We Move and Manage Your Oracle Environment

Assess the Existing Estate

We review the Oracle databases, applications, versions, editions, infrastructure, integrations, workload profile, licensing position, security controls, backup arrangements and recovery requirements.

Arrange an environment review

Design the Hosting Environment

Pro DBA defines the compute, storage, network, monitoring, backup, replication and availability architecture. Responsibilities, service levels, maintenance windows and escalation routes are agreed before implementation.

Address immediate risks

Migrate and Validate

The migration is planned around the workload and acceptable downtime. Where required, the team rehearses the process, prepares a rollback route and validates data, application connectivity, performance, backups and monitoring after cutover.
