Press Release Body: The Bunker, provider of Ultra Secure data centres and managed
services, today announces that working with Oracle experts e-DBA they have developed
an end-to-end service for Oracle business Solutions.

The Bunker and e-DBA’s end-to-end solution aims to provide a cost effective
alternative to the usual multi-faceted Oracle approaches and not only does it
provide the specialist skills of application development, Oracle database management
and high availability, but it also incorporates a process framework, engineered to
fully integrate solution engagement, migration, support, maintenance & management in
to one, single delivery model.

Paul Lightfoot, Director of Managed Services at The Bunker comments “There aren’t
many businesses that are good at application management, Oracle database management
and high availability and we are aware of fewer still who can provide these skills
in the form of an end-to-end solution for small to medium sized businesses.” Paul
adds “SMBs are looking for the kind of service promised by the large system
integrators but don’t want to pay the prices demanded and they certainly don’t want
to be shoe-horned into a standard delivery model; with The Bunker and e-DBA solution
we have focussed on the development of integrated service processes to support
seamless, cost effective and ultra secure delivery - clients don’t only benefit from
the cost savings afforded through reduced ‘none core’ staff costs, but the
alleviation of the recruitment costs for expensive Oracle specialists and the
meeting of compliance standards as well.”

Alex Louth, Director of e-DBA adds “There is no one else out there who can claim
your business application is being supported by both experts in the field of secure
hosting and Oracle administration, with a single point of contact and total problem
ownership, yet with the benefits of using truly focused industry experts. The market
needs a solution like this and I am excited to be working with The Bunker – their
focus on security and technical expertise really add value to what we are trying to
achieve and so far the customers who have adopted the solution are extremely happy
with the results. With our combined skill sets commitment to service and single
delivery model, we are the only provider able to deliver Ultra Secure, fully
managed, end-to-end Oracle solutions and from within Europe’s most secure data
centre”.

optimum performance and resilience from critical production and e-commerce systems.
Due to our continued success e-DBA now have offices in Brighton and Essex where we
still thrive on the day to day challenges provided by the wide and varied sets of
Oracle-based environments that our clients systems comprise of. These range from
Oracle / PeopleSoft Financials and HR systems to High Availability Oracle clusters
driving leading e-Commerce and Enterprise systems. With the current threats around
data security and integrity e-DBA is able to offer guidance where our consultative
approach and detailed technical knowledge have enabled us to provide Solutions to a
broad range of customers on compliance and perceived threats and how to overcome
these and still achieve their business objectives.
