ac3 provides complete management of Microsoft Windows, Unix, Linux and Virtual Platforms for a predictable monthly fee. Management services include break/fix support, requests and maintenance. Systems under management can be monitored for availability and performance on a 24x7 basis.
Break/Fix
Break/fix incidents are identified through our our monitoring software, or as a result to a client call to the service desk. Responding to incidents may include
- resolving performance issues and bottlenecks
- addressing faults in the O/S
- actioning low disk space issues
- recovering a system from a crash or hardware fault
- escalating to vendor support when needed
Maintenance
Maintenance tasks include proactive and routine activities that are undertaken to reduce the likelihood of break-fix incidents. These include
- monitoring of systems
- installation of patches on the system
- reviewing systems for capacity
- performance tuning
- updating hardware firmware and drivers
- performing backups
Requests
Requests may come from clients to perform a task on a system that isn’t a break/fix issue. Some of these issues include:
- adding, removing or editing a user account
- adding, removing or editing a printer
- adding disk space to a system
- rebooting a system
- building or decommissioning a system
