Technical Architecture Solutions provides:

back to topSystem Administration and Sys Admin Mentoring

TAS provides professional management services of operating systems. This service is perfect for companies that want to manage their own applications, but not deal with the ongoing hassle of tuning, securing and maintaining the operating system. Our system administration professional service is available on a project basis, on-demand need or as part of our mentoring program.

Our mentoring program involves our team working onsite with your administrators to document your site environment. We provide recommendations on improvements to your infrastructure; daily operations and skill set advancement. The mentoring plan can suggest best practices, reengineering of operations, and TAS onsite training path, to help you achieve higher service levels.

back to topDatabase Administration and Mentoring

The database server management process has three stages at TAS: the initial setup, system audit, recurring and on demand services.

The Database Setup services include database consultation, planning, defining hardware specifications, best practices for deploying databases, planning for future scalability, loading existing configured databases, testing and tuning the database and implementing a backup and recovery plan.

The system audit service is currently available for SQL Server. We gather information to provide a detailed report of: how your database server and databases look now; feedback on current practices versus industry practices; and recommendations on work to be undertaken to optimise your system's operation and maintain it at that peak level.

The recurring and on demand database services include remote health checks and DBA / mentoring and training services, performance tuning, on demand or back fill DBA resources, capacity planning and disaster recovery. The remote health checks look at backup and database consistency, proactive administration and security at regular intervals defined by the client.

Our DBA/mentoring service is tailored to your specific needs. TAS can provide an experienced DBA and/or onsite mentoring/training to help your administrators. Through this engagement, TAS can report and suggest optimisations in your database setup and design, daily operations, best practices and mentoring plan. The mentoring plan will help your team achieve higher service levels through knowledge transfer.

back to topCapacity Planning

Capacity planning is an important aspect of all IT sites; proper planning ensures healthy systems that can grow to meet future needs. While some view it as an art form, TAS approaches it using our proven processes. Our professionals are experienced with multi vendor hardware and software environments; specialising in the quantitative analysis, modeling and tuning techniques needed to understand and optimise your infrastructure. We are also experienced in exercising the scenarios such as: production capacity planning; new hardware acquisition; production performance analysis and profiling new application performance characteristics.

back to topOn Demand resources

TAS can provide you with backfill resources to cover instances such as study leave, training, sick leave, holiday or just busy periods. TAS will ensure that at least two TAS resources are knowledgeable of the site to enable service continuity. As part of the initial site familiarisation effort, TAS professional staff will gain an in-depth knowledge of your site architecture, work practices and to create TAS internal documentation.

back to topOperational Best Practices

TAS has created the operational best practices based on our extensive experience in the IT industry. These experiences range from system administration and operations to design and management of highly available, mission-critical environments. The best practices cover backup/recovery strategies, server hardware builds, change control, and application and infrastructure testing and certification, etc.

TAS can review your existing practices and provide a report on your current situations with recommendations for improvement. If required, we can assist you with the migration to the new practices and refinement of these once implemented.
