In rough seas even the most experienced crew can lose their bearings

TECHNICAL TEAM STRETCHED 
TOO THIN

Your in-house IT team is constantly firefighting, leaving little time for strategic initiatives. Important projects stall, issues take longer to resolve, and your overall IT resilience suffers as workloads continue to grow.

SYSTEMS / DATABASES 
DOWN

Outages or slow performance across critical systems can bring operations to a standstill. Frequent downtime impacts productivity, customer experience, and revenue - and usually signals deeper issues in architecture, capacity, or maintenance.

LACK OF INCIDENT 
RESPONSE TEAM

Without a dedicated team to respond to incidents quickly, even minor problems can escalate. Delays in detection, containment, and recovery increase risk exposure and prolong business disruption.

UNDETECTED BREACHES 
& SILENT THREAT ACTORS

Cyber threats are becoming more sophisticated, often hiding within systems undetected for months. Silent intrusions compromise data integrity, create compliance risks, and threaten the overall security posture of your organisation.

LEGACY DATABASE SYSTEMS 
BECOMING PROHIBITIVELY EXPERIENCE

Older database platforms become increasingly costly to license, maintain, and scale. Performance limitations, outdated hardware, and rising vendor fees strain budgets and limit your ability to innovate.

LACK OF RANSOMWARE 
READINESS

Many organisations lack a tested plan for responding to ransomware. Without proper backups, recovery processes, or containment strategies, downtime can be prolonged and data restoration uncertain.

SNOWBALLING DATABASE 
LICENSING

Database licensing fees can grow rapidly as environments expand, especially with legacy or per-core pricing models. Organisations often pay far more than necessary due to inefficient architectures or lack of vendor optimisation.

STRUGGLING WITH 
CLOUD STRATEGY

Businesses often face confusion around what to move, how to move it, and which platform delivers the best value. Misalignment between cloud strategy and business goals leads to overspending, complexity, and underperforming workloads. 

RANSOMWARE OR SECURITY 
BREACH THREATS

Security threats continue to evolve, targeting vulnerable systems, misconfigurations, and outdated defences. Without continuous monitoring and proactive protection, organisations remain exposed to malware, data loss, and operational disruption.

SMOOTH SAILING SYSTEMS

Services Delivered

MANAGED 
SECURITY​

Security isn’t a product; it’s a posture. RDB Concepts delivers a comprehensive managed security service that combines intrusion detection and prevention (IDS/IPS), extended detection and response (XDR), SIEM integration, and Zero Trust principles to protect against both known and emerging threats. At the heart of this offering is RDB’s vulnerability intelligence service, which merges up-to-date CVE data with real-time threat intelligence to highlight actively exploited vulnerabilities, enabling teams to prioritise the risks that matter most. Fully aligned with ISO 27001 and backed by real-time monitoring, threat detection, and compliance reporting, RDB ensures organisations remain protected, responsive, and audit-ready at all times.

LEGACY 
TRANSFORMATIONS​

RDB Concepts doesn’t simply “lift and shift” — it helps organisations leap forward. Its legacy transformation services modernise ageing systems through targeted upgrades, consolidation, containerisation, or replatforming. Whether transitioning from Solaris to Linux, from monolithic to microservice architectures, or from physical to virtual environments, RDB ensures minimal disruption and maximum value from the systems businesses have long relied on. And when critical applications cannot be upgraded, RDB has still found innovative ways to modernise the underlying hardware, extending the life of legacy applications without compromising performance or supportability.

DATABASE APPLICATIONS 
ANYWHERE

Today’s workloads are fluid, and so is RDB Concepts. The company enables database applications to run anywhere: on-premise, in the cloud, in containers, or across hybrid environments. RDB builds resilient, secure, and scalable platforms that keep applications close to end users, data where it needs to be, and performance uncompromised.

FULL RESOLVING 
SERVICE

RDB Concepts doesn't just monitor, it resolves. Using its Custodian*24 observability platform, integrated with Elastic and supported by a team of expert engineers, RDB detects, investigates, and remediates issues before they impact operations. From root cause analysis to full resolution, the company delivers complete visibility and takes "REAL" ownership of IT health. No finger-pointing. No ticket churn. Just answers, actions, and outcomes.

LICENSE 
OPTIMISATION

RDB Concepts enables organisations to regain control of their software spend. Through detailed audits of database and infrastructure estates, including usage patterns, license entitlements, and risk exposure, RDB identifies opportunities to consolidate, right-size, or repurpose licenses. This often results in annual savings of up to 30%. Whether operating in Oracle, SQL Server, or hybrid environments, RDB’s approach ensures compliance and cost-efficiency without sacrificing performance

STRATEGIC CLOUD 
DEPLOYMENT

Cloud should be a catalyst, not a compromise. RDB Concepts designs and deploys right-sized, high-performance cloud environments tailored to each organisation’s workload, security, and governance requirements. From private and hybrid architectures to cloud migrations and modernisation initiatives, RDB’s deployments are guided by risk analysis, performance data, and strategic future-state planning, not vendor-driven agendas.

SERVER & DATABASE 
OPTIMISATION & CONSOLIDATION​

Performance issues aren’t just technical; they are operational bottlenecks. RDB Concepts delivers optimisation services grounded in real-time data from its Custodian*24 platform and backed by decades of engineering expertise. Systems are fine-tuned, workloads are consolidated, technical debt is reduced, and hardware sprawl is eliminated, ensuring that infrastructure runs faster, leaner, and with significantly reduced risk.
