MANAGED SERVICES
Western Data provides managed services and maintenance contracts for all network devices, including load-balancing systems, SSL traffic accelerators, firewalls, routers and switches. Our network specialists perform initial installation and configuration as well as on-going maintenance of network devices. Additionally, the network infrastructure team comprised of certified networking professionals handles day-to-day network operations, develops network design strategies, and operates the Network Operations Center (NOC). All these services are backed by our service level agreements (SLAs).
Network management refers to the maintenance and administration of computer networks and telecommunications networks at the top level.
We offer a flexible suite of services that allows you to monitor your IT infrastructure, including servers, switches, routers and firewalls.
A large number of protocols exist to support network and network device management. Common protocols include SNMP, CMIP, WBEM, Common Information Model, Transaction Language 1, Java Management Extensions - JMX, and netconf.
Data for network management is collected through several mechanisms, including agents installed on infrastructure, synthetic monitoring that simulates transactions, logs of activity, sniffers and real user monitoring.
Service Level Agreements (SLAs)
A SLA is a formal negotiated agreement between two parties. It is a contract that exists between customers and their service provider, or between service providers. It transcripts the common understanding about services, priorities, responsibilities, guarantee, etc. with the main purpose to agree on the level of service. For example, it may specify the levels of availability, serviceability, performance, operation or other attributes of the service like billing and even penalties in the case of violation of the SLA.
Our SLAs are tailored to meet your company's specific needs. This includes our commitment for response times and hardware fixes.
IT Service Management (ITSM) is a discipline for managing large-scale information technology (IT) systems, philosophically centered on the customer's perspective of IT's contribution to the business. ITSM stands in deliberate contrast to technology-centered approaches to IT management and business interaction.
