Systems Administration

System Administration consists of several main functions—maintaining the day-to-day operation of a system, troubleshooting and problem resolutions, and planning and designing for future applications and growth. Within this greater realm of systems administration, Santore Enterprises can assist with the following specific tasks:

Performance Tuning

Our firm will not only assist clients improve performance today, but also analyze potential resource bottlenecks to improve future performance. We will assess your existing situation and provide detailed recommendations with the intent of resolving current performance issues as well as planning for growth.

Troubleshooting

Santore Enterprises can isolate and resolve problems that arise on both an individual system level and an enterprise level. This includes but is not limited to disaster recovery, application configuration, and general system and network issues. Additionally, we can design and implement a robust monitoring and notification system that will allow the client to monitor their system and react to any errors should they occur.

Architecture Design

We can help provide a robust computing environment for individual projects as well as integrate projects and products into existing heterogeneous networks. Additionally, all systems will be designed with reliability, fault tolerance, security and scalability in mind.

Colocation/Hosting/Data Center Issues

Due to our experience with Internet dot com startup companies, we have been closely involved with colocation and server hosting issues. Santore Enterprises can assist you in finding a colocation solution that fits your specific needs. Additionally, we will help in the process of designing an architecture for colocation, implementing this architecture, coordinating with staff at the colocation site, and developing administrative procedures that take remote access into account.

Day-To-Day Maintenance

Sometimes, the importance of day-to-day systems maintenance is overlooked. Our firm is not too big to help you with these important functions, and more: backups, log-checking, space requirements, and general system health.

Shell/Perl Scripting

Often, our clients need a customized tool to assist with systems administration tasks – from automating small jobs, to keeping large jobs reasonable in scope. Santore Enterprises can write or modify scripts to free up resources to take care of other obligations.

Monitoring/Notification/Trending

The ability to monitor your system is crucial because it keeps track of when system failures occur and notifies the correct party (often, our firm, Santore Enterprises) who can then handle the problem. Additionally, regular monitoring can maintain performance and capacity data that can later be used to predict and plan for growth.

Capacity Planning

Are you expecting growth? Capacity planning not only allows our firm to examine your current systems usage based on what applications are currently being run and plan for expansion accordingly, but also to implement additional applications and plan for their use as well.

Special Projects

Our experience is not limited to the tasks listed above. If you would like to speak with us about an issue or problem that is not listed on our site, it’s not a problem! We’re willing to tackle any unique situation that may arise.
