Open Query partners with The Pythian Group

Open Query has partnered with The Pythian Group, founded in Canada by Paul Vallee and active around the world providing fractional database infrastructure teams on a linear cost-to-effort basis.

Open Query focuses on MySQL and related training and consulting work, whereas The Pythian Group has its remote DBA offering with around the clock (and around the globe) coverage. A perfect match!

I’m very pleased with this partnership, so a grand thanks to Paul and Alex, but also Sheeri, Niklas, Gerry, Augusto, Keith, Julien, Singer, Danil, Santinesh, Paul, and everybody else (they’re everywhere!) I’ve met some of you already, and hope to meet more and work with you in the time to come. A great gang with a good offering and an friendly business model.

Pythian’s model is unique in that it allows larger customers to outsource some or all of the management of entire environments while still allowing smaller customers to tap the subject matter expertise and 24×7 access to resources normally only available in very large enterprise infrastructure teams.

Like Open Query’s consulting, Pythian services are not in any way limited by a scope of work. As a result, they can easily and seamlessly be blended in with a customer’s existing team to substantially increase its overall horsepower, flexibility and capabilities, while maintaining all the advantages and continuity of the existing personnel.
