Systems Consulting

While your network infrastructure is the underlying IT foundation, your systems architecture is the next critical layer. We help you define the types of systems required for your business or project—file servers, database servers, Web servers, application servers, etc. We thoroughly analyze your business and application needs and then assess and recommend hardware and software options designed to make the best use of your internal resources. We’ll take the project through each critical stage by specifying equipment, configuring your systems for optimal performance, and performing all facets of system administration and management.

Examples of the issues we can help you manage:

• How do you automate routine systems administration tasks such as user account maintenance or system monitoring?
• What’s the strategy for building ease of maintainability into your systems infrastructure?
• What software components should be included on your systems for efficient operation, stability, and security?
• What strategy can you use to minimize the effect of unsolicited commercial e-mail (SPAM) in your organization?
• How do you tune the TCP/IP settings on your Web server to maximize the number of concurrent connections?

We’ll help you design a system from the ground up or help you optimize existing system resources, improve system productivity, and boost maintainability.
