IO Datasphere, Inc. has been providing project management, software development and IT staff augmentation services to our clients in the Midwest and throughout the U.S. since 1996. We are an approved vendor on contract to provide software development and IT staff augmentation services for the States of Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. We also provide these services to businesses, as well as local and county governments, in the Midwest and nationwide.

Our client is looking for a Database Administrator having experience with formal change control environments. The client environment is predominantly Sybase with SQL Server. The client is moving from Sybase to a pure SQL Server in approximately 3 years. The Sybase environment is 15.7 on Solaris in an X86 hardware environment within local network. The SQL Server environment is mixed versions of SQL Server on mixed versions of Windows Server with an upcoming project to update versions. This environment includes both servers in network and in Azure.

The client s planned goal is to move off Sybase and a project to do this is underway and thus the need for the selected candidate to have some experience with both Sybase and SQL Server. The client s primary goal is to have an additional individual to assist with our Sybase 15.7. As a result, the appropriate candidate will need to have Unix background running and developing CRON jobs with command line experience. The DBA should be familiar with Sybase ASE 15.7.

The desire is to have a DBA that can assist with tasks, particularly during afterhours implementations that the senior DBAs need completed to reduce the overall time required per DBA. This position will also help with other tasks that occur during the week such as weekly data fixes which occur on Thursday and Friday. The secondary goal is to take work off the SQL Server DBAs. This will require the individual to have some experience with Windows Servers and with SQL Server. Additionally, the person will work with clusters and with Disaster Recovery in the development, test, and production environments.
