Using Server Performance Management to improve your business

A brief introduction

Dalleon Systems specialises in Server Performance Management - getting the most benefit from the servers that run your business. This goes further than orthodox Capacity Planning: collecting and reporting technical metrics on their performance and capacity. It means we focus on how fast your servers do their job, the amount of commerce they undertake, the environmental impact of IT, the number of users each application can support, the quantity of data stored and all the other technical and business aspects that your organisation depends on them to provide - right down to helping you reduce the cost of running them.

Server Performance Management

The business advantages of effectively managing the performance of your servers are many. They start with avoiding confidence-damaging loss of service if changes or upgrades cause unexpected problems. The cost of new purchases can be controlled and planned, by calculating the configuration you really need (and when to include server upgrades in the business plan), rather than having to guess and "add a safety margin". Systems that are not being used efficiently can be discovered and reused, or have more work assigned to them. Finally, slow responses: the bane of users and website visitors (and the cause of many subtle faults) can be fixed or prevented - which improves your online reputation, increases the quality of your users experience and the morale of the staff who are frustrated by them.

What Dalleon Systems can offer

The know-how, processes and tools to help you get the most business benefit from your computer systems, databases and applications and keep them running at peak performance.

  • Use the technical data of how your servers are running, combined with information about your business and users to show you where there is spare capacity, opportunities for service improvement, risk of poor performance or problems that should be fixed.
  • Bridge the gap between your technical and business staff, by knowing and working with both cultures. Dalleon Systems has the ability to turn commercial proposals into high-performance designs and also to explain in business terms the complexities of delivering top-quality services.
  • Help you plan changes without the risk of slowing your systems when the unexpected happens and to give you confidence that new purchases will have the right performance to handle your work, without being over-specified or under-powered.
  • Use my skills, background and experience to help you build low-cost monitoring systems that practically look after themselves, using components you already own. Leaving your technical staff free from low level system management duties to spend their time doing high value work.
