Hostway announced today that it has partnered with IT automation provider Stratavia to launch NetDBAs, an enterprise-class database automation solution that aims to simplify the management of corporate databases.

The NetDBAs database automation tool automates routine tasks such as installing new databases, administering users, applying patches, and managing backups through a web-interface. The initial release will manage editions of Microsoft SQL Server database and future versions will add support for databases from other manufacturers.  

“We are excited to launch this value added solution that will automate and simplify the most time consuming and repetitive tasks typically performed by database administrators,” says Todd Benjamin, vice president of Enterprise Hosting, Hostway.” With assistance from Stratavia we have harnessed high-end enterprise-class automation technology, simplified it, and deployed it in the cloud to be cost effective and versatile, solving a prevailing challenge for today’s efficiency minded corporations.”
