Performance Tuning & Systems Assurance

The distributed nature of today’s server and storage platforms makes it difficult to discover the bottlenecks in application performance. Dewpoint engineers have the experience required to analyze most servers, operating systems, networking hardware, and storage systems. Because storage is separated from multiple servers, often on different platforms, many tools and techniques are used to analyze and improve virtualized system performance.

  • End to end analysis of virtual environments to storage systems
  • Microsoft server performance analysis
  • Solaris server tuning using DTrace and traditional UNIX tools
  • Implementation of performance monitoring tools
  • Audit of systems against best practices and reasonable  performance expectations

Secure Remote Access

With more users than ever working remotely, today's organizations are finding it extremely difficult to provide secure remote access to employees and business partners. Previous remote access solutions typically required complicated client software installations that functioned with varying success depending on the location of the client machine; whether it be a corporate laptop in a hotel room or an unmanaged PC in an employee's home. Dewpoint can provide clientless remote access that meets industry standards and protects your environment through granular policy enforcement.
