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
