Architecting resilience. Accelerating performance.

Three specialised pillars – zero-loss migration, NoSQL at scale, and gov-grade security with 24/7 care – delivered by one accountable engineering team.

Service 01

Database Migration & U2L Modernization

Safe, proven database upgrades and Unix-to-Linux migrations based on 24 years of field experience.

We assist enterprises in migrating from aging Unix platforms to stable x86 Linux environments, upgrading Oracle databases, and adopting modern open-source engines. Through rigorous pre-migration verification and well-planned cut-over procedures, we keep service downtime to an absolute minimum.

  • U2L Infrastructure TransitionSafe migration of mission-critical systems from legacy Unix (SPARC, AIX) to enterprise-ready Linux environments.
  • Database Upgrades & TransitionReliable execution of Oracle version upgrades and smooth migrations to cost-effective open-source databases (PostgreSQL, MariaDB).
  • Pre & Post Data VerificationThorough checks on row counts, schemas, and data consistency before and after cut-over to ensure complete data accuracy.
  • Controlled Cut-Over ExecutionOff-hours and weekend transition execution with tested rollback runbooks to ensure operational continuity.

How a U2L project runs

  1. 01
    Assess

    Review aging hardware, end-of-support surcharges, single-server risk and mixed DB / WEB / APP workloads.

  2. 02
    Design

    A two-node active-standby database cluster, separate virtualization hosts for WEB / APP, all-flash storage and redundant SAN and 10 GbE networks.

  3. 03
    Build

    Install servers, storage and switches; deploy RHEL, VMware vSphere and the high-availability stack with current patches.

  4. 04
    Migrate

    Move data in phases following a cut-over runbook, converting between DBMS where needed.

  5. 05
    Verify

    Our integrity engine checks every table and schema, then we benchmark performance against the old system.

Service 02

Enterprise Multi-DBMS & Large-Scale NoSQL Engineering

Operating systems from large-scale distributed NoSQL clusters to high-availability financial cores.

Modern workloads demand hybrid databases. DBWorks specializes in high-concurrency relational systems and hyperscale NoSQL architectures, staffed by senior engineers who manage multiple DBMS platforms simultaneously.

  • Hyperscale MongoDB architectureReplica Sets, sharded cluster deployment, chunk rebalancing, and RBAC security for high-volume traffic processing.
  • Deep kernel & cache optimizationWiredTiger cache sizing (wiredTigerCacheSizeGB), syncPeriod tuning to resolve write stalls, and secondary oplog synchronization.
  • Point-in-time recovery (PITR)Oplog-based replay (PBM) for a reliable rollback even after accidental drop or update events.
  • Application-level troubleshootingConnection pool optimization (JEUS/Tomcat), singleton MongoClient refactoring and cursor leak remediation.

  • Backup Integrity Verification: Routine restore simulations to validate disaster recovery readiness
  • Security & Certificate Audits: TLS certificate expiration tracking and access control audits
  • Executive Performance Reporting: Detailed trend analysis covering CPU, memory, disk IOPS, and cache hit ratios
  • Rigorous Change Management: Documented version upgrades, pre-change impact assessments, rollback runbooks, and post-verification

4. Typical troubleshooting scenarios

Accidental Drop

A critical production collection was accidentally dropped. By pinpointing the exact timestamp in the Oplog, we performed full backup restoration and targeted Oplog replay, achieving zero data loss recovery.

Write Stalls & Engine Saturation

The WiredTiger storage engine cache became saturated under heavy traffic, causing write stalls during disk flush cycles. By reconfiguring cache allocation, flush intervals, and checkpoint pressure, normal throughput was promptly restored.

Connection Pool Exhaustion

An unmanaged application opened new database connections per request, triggering connection pool exhaustion and timeout errors. We re-architected the WAS connection pool, enforced cursor termination, and established persistent client reuse patterns to permanently eliminate latency.
