Are Our Expert MariaDB, PostgreSQL and MySQL Consulting Services For You?
Our MariaDB and MySQL consulting services are primarily aimed at companies in the following situations:
- Too small to warrant employing a full time DBA or
- Too large and complex for the existing full time DBAs to effectively look after
- Need temporary augmentation to their skills for deploying new infrastructure for a project
There are a number of telltale signs you may be experiencing. For example, a common manifestation is an explosion in workload of your “accidental DBA”. This typically leaves them with insufficient capacity to effectively carry out their primary duties. Other common symptoms include deteriorating system performance or increased lack of confidence in disaster recovery capabilities.

MySQL
MySQL is the most widely used open source relational database in the world. It is available for virtually all platforms and operating systems in use today. MySQL is currently owned by Oracle, through it’s purchase of Sun Microsystems. Our certified MySQL consulting team has decades of experience with providing expert MySQL consulting services to nearly a hundred clients.
MariaDB
MariaDB is the fastest growing open source relation database, in terms of popularity. It is a fork of MySQL and has increasingly been replacing MySQL as the default variant in most Linux distributions. Our MariaDB consulting specialists have a decade of experience with MariaDB and can help you with any MariaDB problem you may be facing.
PostgreSQL
PostgreSQL is the second most popular open source database in the world. It is an excellent choice for a wide range of workloads and for some specific uses has features that it’s main competitors lack.

“The work carried out was excellent. Ten times better than Percona.”
“Gordan from Shattered Silicon consulted into Transactis at a time they were in need of an expert consultant to extensively optimise their MySQL database during a key software product launch. Feedback from the client was excellent at all times and indeed he was able to provide services above and beyond their expectations. Personally Gordan was a pleasure to work and I would gladly work with him again.”
“Shattered Silicon are an absolute pleasure to work with. Their technical skills are amazing and I would rate their abilities on par with the very best in the world. It’s obvious their team goes out of their way to learn, test and benchmark the latest features and functionality. They are able to communicate complex technical issues clearly to both technical and business people. They deliver what they promise and have never missed a deadline.”
“The Consultant from Shattered Silicon is an extremely knowledgeable and capable System Administrator who was key to supporting legacy systems as well as implementing new ones. They were flexible and displayed a great attitude, and I would happily work with them again.“
“I can’t recommend Shattered Silicon highly enough! They were quick to respond and understand what we needed, knew immediately what action we needed to take and helped us apply their suggestions. They are quick to offer very detailed advice, and have been a real pleasure to work with (and will continue to work with in the future). In terms of value for money the benefit we’ve gained in just a few hours of their time has been fantastic!”
