How We Got Here
Started in a small Banqiao office in 2019. We saw too many database administrators struggling with outdated training that didn't match what companies actually needed.
The Beginning
Founded PrimeXUltratek after seeing graduate students struggle with database concepts that seemed abstract but were crucial in enterprise environments. Started with weekend workshops in our New Taipei office.
Real-World Focus
Partnered with local tech companies to understand their actual database challenges. This shifted our curriculum from theoretical concepts to practical problem-solving that students could apply immediately.
Cloud Integration
Added comprehensive cloud database modules as companies moved infrastructure. We focus on AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, and Azure Database services — the platforms Taiwan businesses actually use.
Advanced Specialization
Launching specialized tracks in database security, performance optimization, and disaster recovery. Each program includes hands-on projects with real datasets and scenarios from Taiwan enterprises.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Most database courses teach syntax and basic queries. We start with real problems that companies face — slow queries, data integrity issues, scaling challenges, security vulnerabilities.
PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server optimization, indexing strategies, query performance tuning
AWS RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Azure Database, migration planning, backup strategies
Data encryption, access control, audit trails, GDPR compliance, threat detection
High availability, disaster recovery, monitoring, automated maintenance, scaling solutions
How You'll Actually Learn
Forget memorizing commands. You'll work through real scenarios that database administrators face every day in Taiwan companies.
Real Problem Analysis
Start with actual database issues from local companies — performance bottlenecks, data corruption, scaling challenges. Understand the business impact first.
Hands-On Solutions
Work with enterprise-scale datasets. Build monitoring systems, implement backup strategies, optimize slow queries. Use the same tools professionals use daily.
Production Readiness
Test your solutions under realistic conditions. Learn to document your work, communicate with stakeholders, and handle emergency situations calmly.
Who You'll Learn From
Our instructors aren't just teachers — they're working database professionals who deal with production systems every day.
