IBM Informix® is used in some of the most demanding applications in the world of commercial information technology. Bell Micro provides a range of services to help you get the most out of this technology. These services are provided by leading professional consultants and are continually enhanced to take advantage of the best professional tools on the market.
20-point System Health Check
This is a brief report that shows the general health of any Informix system. The whole process takes no more than 20 minutes and gives an immediate result indicating whether there are any areas that may require attention. This service is absolutely FREE for registered partners.
Full System Health Check
Building on the 20-point system health check, the full system health check documents the state of an Informix system in much more detail. The analysis is performed by a senior engineer and usually requires a whole day onsite. The resulting report highlights key areas that require attention and provides useful recommendations.
Performance Monitoring and Reporting
In some cases a health check doesn’t give enough information about the use of an Informix system over a period of time. Monitoring a system over a longer period gives indications on general workload and peak activity and the resulting report can be used for capacity planning, sizing and performance tuning.
Remote Database Administration
Informix remote system management is a low-cost alternative to employing a full-time DBA or gaining additional DBA resource for dispersed applications running Informix where "hands-on" administration is not possible.
Stand-by Database Administration
What happens when your Informix system administrator needs a holiday or is off work for any other reason? As with any other key personnel replacement, the process of selection can be time-consuming, costly and risky if you have no planned solution. Recruitment companies rarely provide a successful alternative. With stand-by administration, we provide a qualified Informix administrator to manage your Informix systems on a temporary basis.
Remote Back-up and Restore
Informix remote back-up and restore is designed to give you piece of mind. This service is more than a back-up storage solution; it is a guarantee that any given back-up will work when needed. The back-up and restore service may also be extended to provide limited disaster recovery capability.
