IT Technology Support

What do we offer?

 

IT Help Desk Technician

The first point of contact for those seeking technical assistance over the phone or through email. They offer remote troubleshooting through diagnostic techniques and pertinent questions, determining the best solution based on the issue and details provided by the customer.

They are the first line of solutions, walking the customer through the problem-solving process.

System Administrators

Our System Administrators are responsible for maintaining systems, verifying that peripherals are working properly, and quickly arranging for repair, in the occasion of hardware failure.

They are also in charge of monitoring system performance, creating file systems, installing software, creating backup and recovery processes, monitoring network communication, and updating the system as soon as new versions of OS or application software comes out.

System Administrators also implement the policies for the use of computer systems and networks, setup security policies for users, and manage firewalls and intrusion detection systems.

Database Administrator

Database Administrators install and maintain the performance of database servers. They work on developing processes for optimizing database security, setting and maintaining database standards, managing database access, managing the performance tuning of database systems, & installing, upgrading, and managing database applications.

Other responsibilities include diagnosing and troubleshooting database errors, recommending and implementing emerging database technologies, creating and managing database reports, visualizations, and dashboards, and creating automation for repeating database tasks.

WHAT ARE YOUR STAFFING NEEDS?

IT HELP DESK TECHNICIAN

An overall employee-to-help desk ratio of about 70:1 for organizations with a single operating system and the network is considered suitable. That number drops to 45:1 for enterprise networks using several operating systems and no consistent hardware standard. In your help desk, you will need both tier 1 and senior tier 2 staff. Tier 1 support handles over the phone type operations and will be answering the majority of the service requests.

SYSTEM ADMINSTRATORS

System Administrators staffing is recommended at the following levels. 2 Administrators per Operating System are requiring support. One System Administrator per 50 hardware systems with limited centralized services and a high level of customization. Enterprise networking support and tools can increase this to one per two hundred hardware systems. Virtualization or cloud further increases the number of systems that can be managed. One System Administrator per four appliances. One admin per two basic services: httpd, DNS, mail, printing, SAMBA, etc. Add two units if you want them to have better than 99.8% availability.

DATABASE ADMINISTRATORS

A Database Administrator staffing ratio depends on the total size of all databases. A terabyte-sized database remains difficult to manage compared to a database that's 100 GB in size. Larger databases often require extra tuning, backup, recovery, and upgrade effort. The average database-to-DBA ratio is often constrained by the total size of the databases being managed, which tends to be around five terabytes per DBA. In other words, one DBA can effectively manage 25 databases of 200 GB each or five, one terabyte databases.
