Maintenance and Monitoring

"Avoid the Economic Impact of System Downtime"

As a business owner and/or office manager, one must not overlook the importance of taking a proactive approach to the security and health of the Information Systems being used. This goes back to the old saying, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." When systems are down and business is stopped, a "pound" of cure can cost more like a "ton." So how much does an ounce of prevention cost?

Server maintenance $125/mth

• Ensures proper installation of all Microsoft security updates and patches (very important and time consuming)
• Review of Event logs for warnings and errors (Application, System, etc. and backup logs)
• Provides backup of server licensing offsite
• Run routine Exchange server tasks to maintain a healthy database

Real-time server monitoring $100/mth

• Hard drive capacity and activity levels
• Critical server processes (DHCP, DNS, AD, Anti-virus, etc)
• Memory allocation
• Exchange mailbox storage
• Proper tape backup operation

Workstation maintenance $50/mth per PC (special package pricing available)

• Ensures proper installation of all Microsoft security updates and patches
• Review of Event logs for warnings and errors
• Remove any Spyware and update prevention systems
• Cleanup temp files and cookies
• Backup and repair workstation and user registry hives

While no amount of prevention can eliminate problems altogether, there are basic tasks and points of inspection used to reduce your exposure and to help detect the problems in the early stages. All of the work is done remotely after hours so that business is not interrupted.
