IT solutions cannot be sold over the phone. Networks are a complex environment, with many points of failure and performance bottlenecks.

Before Kiss IT performs any work at a new customer site, we recommend a full network audit.

Auditing your current technology is the first logical step in ensuring its capability to deliver the business solutions you require both immediately and in the future. The audit provides a detailed report on your current infrastructure covering cabling, workstations, network cards, servers, hubs and all internetworking devices. From this information, our consultants are able to pinpoint potential or actual bottlenecks that may impact on your networks operation and its ability to satisfy your objectives. Where change is essential we can design, supply, install and support the necessary solutions.

One of the most important areas of the audit is Disaster Recovery, which covers your business / companies ability to recover from a serious emergency such as theft of a server.

There are still many companies out there that believe they are backing up because it was set up when the server was installed, but yet even though tapes are being changed on a daily basis, the backups may be failing.

Larger companies may be less prone to this type of emergency, but it is amazing how even in larger organizations, Disaster Recovery can be overlooked.

Disaster Recovery is more that setting up a backup job. It involves maintenance and training. Staff need to be trained to check backup logs daily, clean the tape drive on a regular basis and keep track of the age of their tapes.

It also requires maintenance, to perform test restores on a regular basis, and to make sure that all required data is being backed up, and that the capacity of the backup device is sufficient.

It also extends into redundancy. RAID configurations on the server, Directory redundancy and multiple farm or cluster based solutions.

It is critical to your organization's future.
