Proactive Monitoring and Problem Prevention

The key to minimising disruption to your network is to prevent problems arising in the first place. Our pro-active monitoring package continuously checks your system and notifies us as soon as an issue arises. That way we can intervene before a small problem escalates into a major one.

You do not need to worry about keeping anti-virus software up-to-date or installing the latest security patches for your system and applications software – we take care of that automatically and keep track of your entire network’s performance. Where we see a problem developing, such as a tape backup failure, we will contact you to ask if you want us to fix the problem. It is entirely up to you to choose to whether to ask us to help or to take care of it yourself.

So you can be sure that the basics – keeping your system patched to the latest level, checking for viruses and monitoring your network for faults – are all taken care of.

We will agree with you the extent to which you wish us to pro-actively monitor and manage your system and deduct the time required each week from your available minutes. For a typical small network this will be around 30 minutes per week across both your server and desktop systems. In addition we will provide you with a comprehensive monthly report of the state of your network free-of-charge. You get the peace-of-mind of knowing that your network is continuously monitored and kept up-to-date.
