Maintenance, setup and devops
A care and maintenance plan will ensure your system is running, up-to-date, backed up and secure at all times
If you provide your own host you need to order a setup package to cover once-off deployment, together with a maintenance package.
If you would like us to host your system, choose one of our hosting packages, which includes maintenance, as well as a setup package and any extras you would like.
We spend maintenance time on a regular basis monitoring and tending to your system, undertaking scheduled activities like upgrading, backups or database replication and responding to unscheduled incidents such as high loads or system outages, for up to two hours per month. If we need to spend more time we will ask you to order a top-up package.
Benefits
Trust that your system is deployed robustly on suitable servers in cloud, on premise, or both, in a way that serves the needs of your staff or customers. Our deployments are designed to be transferable and scalable, so they can adapt to your changing requirements.
We offer these solutions for development, testing or basic production usage. Let us know if you need additional memory, storage, processing power or instances.
