Our SQL Server database administrators are based in Melbourne, our office is at Level 1, 530 Little Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, and we will come and meet you when that is more useful than a call. Most work is remote — but remote should not mean nobody ever turns up.
Onsys is a Melbourne SQL Server DBA practice. Our database administrators are based in Melbourne, our office is at Level 1, 530 Little Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000, and we will come to you when a problem is better solved in the room. Most work is remote — but "remote" should not mean nobody will ever turn up.
Plenty of remote DBA providers serve Australia from another timezone. Here is where being in the same city is worth something, and where it honestly is not.
We will not pretend every task needs a visit. These are the ones where being in the room genuinely changes the outcome.
A go-live weekend with your team, your application owners and your infrastructure people in one place, making decisions in minutes rather than over email.
Failover rehearsals and architecture sessions work better face to face, because the useful conversation is the one that happens after the formal agenda.
When your board, auditor or insurer wants to meet the people who hold access to your production databases, we will be there.
Call 1800 431 416 or book a consultation. If a coffee in the CBD is more useful than a Teams call, say so and we will come to you.

Yes. Our database administrators are based in Melbourne and our office is at Level 1, 530 Little Collins Street, Melbourne VIC 3000. Australian-based DBAs hold all client database access — no offshore engineer holds credentials to a client database.
Yes, where it helps. Migration cutovers, DR test days, architecture workshops and procurement or audit reviews are all better in the room. Day-to-day administration is faster remotely, so we do not pretend otherwise — but if you would rather meet, say so and we will come to you.
No. We support organisations across every Australian state remotely, plus New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Being Melbourne-based means AEST business hours and the option of an on-site visit; it is not a requirement.
Monthly plans start at $1,500 excluding GST for up to 10 SQL Server instances — $150 per instance. Ad-hoc consultancy is $150 per hour with a four-hour minimum. On-site attendance in the Melbourne metropolitan area is arranged as part of the engagement rather than billed as a separate call-out.
