to our site for analysis by both automatic tools
and by the eyes of our experienced professionals.

Most of the
time, we can identify minor problems and fix them before
they become major problems, often without any impact to
you, other than an e-mail note telling you we've performed
a repair.
If a major
problem does occur, you have
certified experts
at your beck and call to fix
the problem so that you can get on with your own business.
We also
analyze your
throughput capacity,
so that you know well in
advance if and when your system needs to grow
How We Do It
We have high-speed, secure FTP
access to our site form yours. We will install software on
your computer system which uses this
transmit output
form the analysis performed on your server
This software runs overnight, and sends information to
us when
the analysis is completed.
We analyze this information using
automated scripts, and when we identify problems, we are
automatically notified to analyze it. If the work can be
done remotely we do it from our site, otherwise we call
you first thing in morning.
Bad Things Happen to Good
Companies
Sometimes, things go wrong which have
nothing to do with periodic maintenance. Disks go bad.
Disgruntled employees important information. Earthquakes,
hurricanes, even theft can make all of your important
files vanish without a trace.
If there is a problem, call us. We have
a toll-free number your convenience, and off hours, we
have a pager which will get you a prompt response.
Your Responsibilities
In case of a real disaster at your site,
we will need to send your backed-up database to you. You
need to determine how long you are willing to wait for
this transmission and
acquire net access fast enough

ISDN line, you can receive your 100 mg database in about
1.5 hours. A T1 line will take only few minutes. If,
in case of disaster, you need it faster, simply get faster
technology (we can help you with this).
If there are any changes system
requirements, we request notification: for example if you
are adding an office, or 100 users, or your hardware
changes...that we can understand/predict the changes to
your system in advance. If you don't want us, you will
likely get a phone call from us letting you know of the
sudden changes to your system, to verify this is an
expected result.

periodic maintenance on your system, analyze
the results daily, and perform any necessary corrections
