DISCOVER OUR POWERFUL DATABASE SOLUTIONS
Stop managing databases and focus on business growth
If your small team is stretched thin and has to deal with additional challenges linked to the increased complexity of your database environment, it’s time to act.
Maxima Consulting provides end-to-end managed services to address the challenges of database management:
- Growing complexity
- Data security and compliance requirements
- Issues with scalability and availability
- Rising operational costs
We handle the infrastructure headaches, provide 24/7 expert support, implement robust security measures, ensure scalability and high availability, and offer transparent, predictable pricing.
Reduce the complexity and optimize your infrastructure
Managing reliable databases and maintaining the underlying infrastructure requires constant attention and draws your team away from their core tasks. We will leverage SRE best practices to set up, configure, and maintain efficient and scalable databases for you. Free up your development team’s time and let us handle the underlying infrastructure across all cloud providers.
Quickly address security and compliance issues
Ensuring robust data security and meeting stringent compliance standards (including SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI) is a complex task that requires updating your knowledge continuously. Working with a specialized managed database service provider means that database compliance and information security are your partner’s responsibilities.
Facilitate scalability and improve availability
Scaling databases efficiently to meet fluctuating user demands is the more difficult, the more successful your digital product is. Our expert managed database team will architect your databases for high availability and increased scalability and utilize an SRE-based approach to avoid data loss and optimize them for performance and cost-efficiency.
Lower operational costs
Everyday tasks like database patching, upgrading, making backups, and monitoring the infrastructure for threats consume considerable resources. We utilize a mix of pre-configured open-source solutions, tailor-made customizations, and advanced automation to lower operational costs for our clients and ensure their databases are easy to scale, efficient, and secure.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
When building a managed database solution for customers, how do you approach customers who need HIPAA / SOC2 compliance?
When working with Maxima Consulting, the customer first shares with us the policies that we need to follow in the database installation and management, and we find the best ways to align.
Our managed database services are based on the database deployments within the customer accounts. We make sure all the security policies and access management rules are aligned with both internal customer standards and applicable compliance requirements.
How do you handle migrating our existing MongoDB/Elasticsearch clusters?
We tailor the migration strategy to your specific cluster configuration and business requirements.
We assign dedicated resources with extensive experience in database migrations to handle your specific needs. Our process involves careful planning during the discovery and design phases, followed by an execution designed to minimize downtime, optimize performance, and ensure data integrity.
Will we lose control over our database configuration with your managed service?
While we handle the day-to-day database management and operations, our database solution is tailored to your needs. Since deployments are typically within your accounts, you retain ownership and visibility, and we adhere to your established policies.
As a managed database service provider for many companies in regulation-heavy industries like banking, healthcare, and insurance, we know how to work collaboratively with clients, particularly during the design phase, to ensure the service-level agreements and the database configuration meet your specific requirements.
Can Maxima Consulting manage our Kafka clusters alongside our databases like Elasticsearch and MongoDB?
Yes, our expertise extends beyond traditional databases. We support a wide range of database technologies, and we can absolutely design a managed service solution that includes Kafka, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, and other less popular components of your data infrastructure.
How do you guarantee performance for our databases?
Performance optimization is a core part of our service. This includes initial right-sizing and configuration during setup, continuous 24/7 monitoring to identify potential bottlenecks, and proactive performance tuning by our database experts.
Your pricing is described as “predictable”. How does it work?
We focus on simple, transparent, and predictable pricing structures, often leveraging the cost-effectiveness of platforms like Akamai Cloud where applicable. Our goal is to eliminate surprise fees and vendor lock-in.
We tailor the pricing based on the specific services and resources you need, ensuring you only pay for what you use. We will discuss this in detail during the initial consultation and confirm the pricing structure in our service-level agreement.
