UNIX and Linux SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION


    Our staff of UNIX/Linux experts can keep your mission-critical systems running well, assuring little or no down time.  We can optimize the operating systems for speed, security, and utility.

    We fulfill the role of system administrator to your company.  This precludes the need to hire a full time IT person.  With our administration tools and our expertise we can keep you up and running, add software, and maintain users, and assure your systems' security.

    We offer an automated watchdog program that runs on your servers and report in to our system every night.  If anything is remiss, ( such as a failed backup, low disk space, run-away processes, security breaches, or numerous other problems), we notice it right away and correct it after informing you.  This service, which we call our DUKE program, has intercepted numerous disasters before they occurred.

    Our DUKE (Daily Unix Kernel Examination) program costs a mere $299 per year, plus initial installation which can be done via modem in about an hour.  The only requirement is that you have a modem on your UNIX system that can dial out at night, or an outgoing ftp server enabled.

    In addition to the daily watch, we offer an annual disaster prevention and recovery program for your UNIX server.  This program keeps you one step ahead of disaster which will ultimately occur.  Click here for details.

    We offer other forms of preventative maintenance.  On a monthly or quarterly basis, or on demand, we can log into your system and do a check of key kernel and system parameters to analyze the state of your system.

     The system administration services we provide include (but are not limited to) the following:

Tuning system performance

Unix/Linux Network design and maintenance
