The advent and expansion of Database as a Service (DBaaS) is changing the roles of some IT professionals. MSPs are being pulled into the DBaaS business as more companies seek to offload their work to the cloud rather than expensive on-premises infrastructure. This means roles like database administrators (DBAs) are being forced to adapt.Take, for example, First National Technology Solutions (FNTS) of Omaha, Nebraska. The cloud-centric MSP is now offering Database as a Service (DBaaS) cloud computing and managed services.The company said the decision comes after requests from businesses who want to deploy new databases more quickly and securely while avoiding the costs associated with big infrastructure projects.The privately-owned company says its DBaaS solutions will provide customers with 24/7 connectivity, monitoring, alerting, and technical support during routine database processes or in case of operational errors or failure. FNTS says companies will also be able to rent services, rather than investing in their own on-site hardware.
