Performance Reviews:

Does your business computing slow down at various times of the day, just when you are at the busiest?  Isn’t this when you’d like to see the best performance, when you’ve got the most customers?  Performance monitoring can be setup on your servers to capture bottlenecks in memory consumption, network traffic, cpu or processor constraints.  With this information, we’ll be able to make recommendations for future upgrades eliminating a lot of guesswork.  

Network Mapping:

We can also map your network.  What does this mean?  With some of the software we have available, we can capture the computers and devices attached to your network.  From this data, we can create a network map with the IP addresses, ports and device information on your local network.  This will allow us to determine if the bandwidth available can handle the network load.  If using Wi-Fi, we can ensure that the Wi-Fi appliance has sufficient resources to handle the immediate and future loads required for today’s infrastructure.  Ask about “Nmap”!

Server Discovery:

Using in-house developed tools, we can scan your servers to verify what hardware is present, what software is in use and neighboring computers.  Not only do we capture this information, we also determine what versions of software is present and what types of hardware is present.  This can give us an accurate picture of where potential bottlenecks can occur.  It will also show us if the hardware currently installed is the right fit for the software being executed on the server and at the loads it is being used under.  This is a minimally invasive procedure and should be executed by an Administrative userid.  Ask about “cito-discover”!

Load Monitoring:

With our partnership with Dell, we now have tools we can install to run over the course of several days to further drill deeper into your infrastructure to see if there are occasional load or stress points where you are experiencing degraded service.  Armed with this information, we can assist you in determining if the degraded service is worth investing more capital towards new hardware or simply a need to shift workload around to a different schedule or server.  Ask about “Dpack”!
