A Zyntello service

Someone answers when something goes down

Support for infrastructure, networks, servers and workstations, with response times agreed around what each thing costs your operation when it stops.

What it solves

IT only gets noticed when it fails, and by then it is too late

While everything works, nobody thinks about the server or the backup. The problem is that most outages could have been seen coming: a disk that had been warning for months, a backup that was never tested, a network built for ten people that forty now use.

  • When something goes down, there is nobody to call
  • The backup exists but nobody has tried restoring it
  • The network was built for half the people there are today
  • Nobody knows what equipment there is or what state it is in
  • The cost is in halting the operation, not in fixing the machine
  • Each incident gets fixed and nothing is recorded

What is included

What you actually get

Agreed service levels

Response time is agreed around what each system costs your operation while it is down. A production server is not a printer.

Backups that get tested

A backup that was never restored is not a backup: it is an assumption. We verify that it can be recovered, how old the data will be and how long it takes.

Networks and servers sized properly

LAN, WiFi, file and application servers, built for the people you have today and the ones you will have.

Maintenance before the failure

Regular checks on what warns before it breaks: disks, temperature, free space, updates. It is the cheapest thing you can do.

An inventory of what you have

What equipment there is, where, under which licence and in what state. Without that, every purchase decision is made blind.

Every incident gets recorded

What failed, what was done and how long it took. That is what makes the pattern visible: anything that happens three times has an underlying cause.

How it works

In three steps

  1. Survey

    What there is, what state it is in and what is critical to operating.

  2. Service agreement

    What is covered, with what response times and through which channel.

  3. Running it and preventing failures

    Day-to-day support, plus the maintenance that prevents the outage.

In detail

What you notice using it every day

A backup is measured in recovery time

Not in whether it exists. How long it takes to be operating again and how much work is lost are the two questions, and almost nobody has them answered.

Anything that happens three times has a cause

That is why incidents get logged: the same failure fixed ten times costs more than fixing its origin once.

Office WiFi is not home WiFi

Forty devices on a home router work until they do not, and the symptom looks like «the internet is slow».

An unlicensed machine is a legal risk

That is why the inventory includes licences: a software audit does not warn you before it arrives.

The user with administrator rights

It is the most common way in for ransomware. Removing it costs one awkward conversation and saves a very bad month.

Remote and on-site support

Most of it is solved remotely, and faster. What needs hands goes on site, within the time that was agreed.

Who it is for

This is for you if…

You have no IT department

And when something breaks, you improvise.

You have a small one

And it needs support for what it cannot cover.

You have had a long outage

And you do not want it to happen again.

Common questions

Questions

What response times do you work with?

Whatever is agreed around what each system costs your operation while it is down. A generic table is no use: a production server is not a printer.

Is the support remote or on site?

Both. Most of it is solved remotely, and faster; what needs hands goes on site.

Do you check the backups?

Yes, and by restoring them: a backup that was never tested is an assumption, not a backup.

Does it cover the users' computers?

Yes, workstations as well as servers and the network, with their inventory and their licences.

Do you work outside the Dominican Republic?

Yes: a direct presence in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala and Costa Rica, and remote support for the rest of the region.

What happens with repeated incidents?

They all get logged precisely so it shows: anything that happens three times has an underlying cause that is cheaper to fix.
