The unglamorous work that prevents the expensive week

Maintenance & Support

Updates, backups, monitoring, security and a defined response time — for sites and applications that need to stay up.

Almost every emergency rebuild starts as a deferred update. Maintenance is cheaper than recovery by an order of magnitude.

Support agreements cover updates, monitoring, backups and a stated response time, with a monthly report of what was done.

How this service is delivered
