UNIX Script Creation and Implementation
At times it can be convenient to produce UNIX scripts for functionality of repeated processes at specific intervals. This can be useful for numerous routines but is usually for backup procedures and archiving facilities. Our Technical Consultants are able to design, plan and implement and test UNIX scripts in accordance with your requirements. If you wish to give additional functionality to an already existing application one of our Consultant will interface with the third party vendor.
Creation of Automated Routines
After production of a UNIX script, on most occasions it is required to be executed at repeated intervals. As part of our service our Consultants can create automatic routines in conjunction with your needs. These can be used for back up, transferring data or for regular removal of unrequited data to a particular form of archive. Quite a few business systems can benefit from automation of UNIX scripts that release resource for other projects. We can share our technical skills and expertise by offering you a fully integrated function.
Recovery Testing
Your system will most likely have a backup process, which is taken at regular intervals. It is essential to regularly test your system in its entirety, but this is rarely the case. We are able to provide clients with a unique testing system, whereby a qualified Consultant will test your data away from live systems. We recommend that you test your system at least once a year, or after an upgrade of any major software.
