HEALTH CHECK AND AUDIT SERVICE
Completing an infrastructure audit can be a lengthy process, as the need to regularly review your data to ensure the data is captured and presented correctly can prove to be time-consuming and repetitive. These interruptions to IT staff can be disruptive to an organization’s day-to-day operations and can cause delays to other projects. Quite often, IT staff do not know of configuration changes necessary to optimize performance or if there are gaps in their overall solutions that could negatively affect them in the event of an issue. High resource utilization, oversubscription, improper configuration, or not having best practices applied can have a heavy impact on the business if not addressed regularly.
To alleviate this problem, Scale Computing offers the Health Check and Audit Service which takes the burden of regularly reviewing systems to identify any situational issues, responding to audit requests, and addressing them quickly to ensure the business gets the most out of its environment and valuable time.
Items included in the audit are:
- General health of Scale Computing Platform clusters, recommendations for support tickets, or corrective action on any issues identified
- Best practice recommendations on SC//Platform configurations
- Recommendations for upgrades of server hardware or cluster firmware
- Performance metrics/utilization of the SC//Platform environment
- Security compliance and information on the SC//Platform environment
- Identify gaps or issues with SC//Platform and organizational needs
Key Benefits
