What We Provide
Robust, end-to-end DBA
coverage, fully managed.
For cruise lines without internal DBA resources, eCruise provides a comprehensive Oracle database administration service built specifically for shipboard environments. Our certified DBAs understand the unique demands of OHC SPMS / MICROS databases at sea: the operational rhythms, the embarkation-day pressure, and the zero-tolerance for downtime.
From continuous performance tuning to weekly recovery simulations and monthly management reporting, every aspect of your database health is actively managed, not just monitored.

✦ The eCruise DBA Difference
DBAs who know cruise, not just databases
Most DBAs know Oracle. Our team knows Oracle in the context of a ship at sea: the sailing event cycles, the PMS integration points, and what a slow query at 6am on embarkation day actually means.
Oracle Certified
Certified expertise across the Oracle Cruise database stack
Integrated with App Support
DBAs and application specialists work as one team, not in silos
Follow-the-Sun
International team ensures no timezone gap in coverage
Reporting & Transparency
Monthly management reports keep your team fully informed
Full Service Scope
Everything included. Nothing extra.
Every item below is part of the eCruise DBA managed service, one contract covering the complete lifecycle of your Oracle database environment.
Certified Oracle DBAs
Extensive expertise across Oracle database versions used in cruise shipboard environments, with certified professionals who know your stack inside and out.
Integrated Application Support
eCruise application support specialists and DBAs work closely together, so database-layer issues and application-layer issues are solved as one coordinated team, not passed between departments.
Customized Alerts & Warnings
Proactive tooling notifies our team of potential risks before they escalate, and delivers immediate alerts in the event of a critical incident, so response begins before you even call.
Optimal Database Configuration
Comprehensive health checks to tailor and tune your OHC SPMS / MICROS Oracle database for your specific environment and operational requirements. Not a generic template, a configured fit.
Automated Query Performance Tuning
Continuous identification and optimization of long-running queries, with automated tooling ensuring peak performance is maintained without waiting for slowdowns to become visible problems.
Backup & Recovery Reviews
Assurance of the fastest possible recovery times in the event of a disaster. Backup configurations are regularly reviewed and validated against your recovery time objectives.
Weekly Recovery Validation
Automated simulations of restore and recovery operations using Oracle Recovery Manager (RMAN), run weekly to confirm reliability, without requiring downtime or manual intervention.
On-Site & Off-Site Backup Storage
Secure on-site and off-site backup storage solutions to safeguard your data against any single point of failure, so your data is protected wherever the ship is sailing.
Monthly Management Reports
Detailed monthly reports from experienced DBAs covering database health, performance trends, incidents handled, and upcoming recommendations, giving full transparency to your operations leadership.
Routine Compliance Audits
Regular audits to ensure your database environment adheres to local and international regulatory requirements, proactively identifying gaps before they become compliance incidents.
24/7 Global Support
Our international team operates on a follow-the-sun model: as one team's workday ends, the next picks up seamlessly, so database issues are addressed around the clock until fully resolved.
Security Patches & Anomaly Detection
Regular application of the latest Oracle security patches, plus monitoring and notification of unusual transactions or suspicious database activity to keep your environment secure and current.
24/7 Global Coverage
Follow-the-Sun. No timezone gaps.
Our international DBA team is structured so that as one region ends their day, another takes over, providing uninterrupted database coverage no matter where your ships are sailing.
Always Someone On Watch
Database issues don't respect time zones. Neither does our team. The follow-the-sun model means a qualified DBA is always actively monitoring your environment. Not on-call, actively watching.

Four Service Pillars
How we keep your databases performing.
Our DBA service is built on four interconnected disciplines, each essential and all working together to maintain a healthy, secure, and compliant database environment.
Pillar 01
Proactive Monitoring & Alerting
Continuous monitoring with customized alert thresholds means our team knows about potential issues before they reach your operations staff. Automated tooling watches for performance degradation, space utilization, session anomalies, and security events, around the clock.
Pillar 02
Performance Optimization
Database performance isn't a one-time tuning event. It's an ongoing discipline. Our automated query performance tuning continuously identifies and resolves long-running queries, and our DBAs regularly review and refine configuration parameters to match your evolving workload.
Pillar 03
Backup, Recovery & Business Continuity
We design and maintain backup strategies targeting the fastest possible recovery times. Weekly RMAN simulations validate that your recovery procedures actually work, not just that backups are running. On-site and off-site storage ensures protection against any single point of failure.
Pillar 04
Security, Patching & Compliance
Regular Oracle security patch cycles keep your environment protected against known vulnerabilities. Routine compliance audits verify adherence to local and international requirements, while transaction monitoring detects and alerts on unusual or suspicious activity.
Better Together
DBA support that works
with your app support team.
Most DBA services operate in isolation: separate ticket queues, separate teams, separate priorities. eCruise DBA support is designed to work in direct partnership with our application support team, creating a single coordinated response to any issue that crosses both layers.

Application and database specialists identify issues together, with no handoff delays when the problem spans both layers
One Point of Contact
You don't need to decide who to call. Our teams coordinate internally and you get a single response
Shared Context
