Overview
Traditional database managed services are reactive by design. A problem happens, an alert fires, a DBA logs in, and the fix begins. Even with fast SLAs, the customer has already felt the pain by the time anyone responds.
Viscosity AI Powered DBA flips that model on its head. We layer machine learning and LLM powered analysis on top of our 24/7 managed DBA service so problems get predicted before they happen, root causes get identified in seconds instead of hours, and SQL tuning recommendations come from models that have been trained on your actual workloads. You get the same human expert coverage you already trust, plus a layer of intelligence that never sleeps and never gets tired.
Why This Matters
Database workloads are more complex than they have ever been. Cloud bills are exploding. Downtime is more expensive than at any point in the history of enterprise computing. And the traditional one DBA per database model simply does not scale with modern enterprise estates. AI augmentation is no longer a luxury. It is the only way to keep pace without doubling your team.
By running AI continuously across your telemetry, logs, SQL execution plans, and wait events, we catch problems your monitoring tools do not even know exist. We turn the mountain of telemetry that overwhelms most teams into actionable insight that actually drives decisions.
What the Service Includes
Our AI layer starts with continuous anomaly detection across AWR, Oracle Enterprise Manager, and Cloud Control telemetry. We build behavioral baselines for each database, each workload, and each time window. When something starts to drift, we catch it hours or even days before traditional threshold based monitoring would notice, and we do it with dramatically fewer false positives than rule based systems.
When an incident does occur, our LLM powered triage goes to work immediately. Natural language root cause analysis correlates logs, metrics, and change history in seconds. The AI suggests remediation playbooks drawn from decades of real Oracle production experience. Your team gets an instant post mortem draft so they can focus on prevention instead of paperwork.
On the tuning side, our AI ranks SQL optimization candidates by actual impact, generates hint suggestions, recommends indexes, and proposes rewrites. Every recommendation flows through a safe rollout workflow with automatic rollback so nothing lands in production without a human checkpoint. Continuous regression monitoring catches plans that drift over time, which is exactly the kind of slow decay that destroys performance without anyone noticing.
Capacity planning becomes predictive rather than reactive. Our models forecast storage, IOPS, memory, and CPU trends, and we make proactive resizing recommendations before your customers feel a single slowdown. We right size instead of oversize, which tends to recover meaningful budget in the first quarter alone.
Underneath all of this is the human expertise you already expect from Viscosity. Level 2 and Level 3 Oracle DBA coverage around the clock, 365 days a year. Named senior engineers assigned to your account. Monthly health reports and quarterly business reviews. Deep Exadata, ODA, and RAC expertise included in the base service.
Service Tiers
The Standard Managed DBA tier is our traditional human led service. It is reliable, proven, and remains the baseline every Viscosity customer receives.
The AI Augmented Managed DBA tier is what most customers upgrade to. It layers the full AI stack on top of the standard service and typically delivers thirty to fifty percent faster mean time to detection in the first ninety days, along with significant SQL performance gains and noticeable capacity savings.
The Autonomous Operations tier is our most advanced offering. The AI handles routine operations with human oversight, and your team only sees the incidents that genuinely need human judgment. This tier works best for mature estates with well defined workloads and high transaction volumes.
Why Viscosity Technology
We do not bolt AI onto somebody else’s monitoring product and call it a new service. Our AI layer is tuned specifically for Oracle workloads by engineers who have been patching Exadata and tuning SQL since long before machine learning became a marketing phrase. When the AI suggests a plan change, a senior human expert reviews it before it touches production, because real experience still beats any model when the stakes are high.
You get the pattern recognition of modern AI plus the judgment of senior DBAs who have seen what happens when you trust the model too much.
Who This Is For
This service fits organizations already running 24/7 managed database services who want to get more proactive value out of them. It fits teams running large Exadata, ODA, or RAC estates where manual monitoring has clearly hit scale limits. It fits companies where database performance directly affects revenue. And it fits CTOs who need to answer the question “what are we actually doing with AI” with a concrete and measurable answer their boards will respect.
