HealthCheck is just one example of Metron's service packages, known as PACS (Performance Assurance Consultancy Services). Some clients choose HealthCheck as their preferred method of checking server performance by using it as a periodical audit of mission critical systems. A sensible HealthCheck regime enables you to manage your IT investment proactively, providing a consistent and acceptable service at a known and controlled cost. Using Metron's Athene system our expert consultants will provide a comprehensive picture of server performance with the minimum of intrusion on

resources required for the client.

The output from each HealthCheck is a browsable HTML document/CD providing Athene Advisor reports covering performance of key factors such as CPU, I/O, memory, database, users and processes. The report clearly identifies where performance is a concern and advises what action can be taken to improve service levels.A single use of HealthCheck can also provide you with detailed information on your critical servers as a prelude to a Capacity Management exercise.

• Save staff time
• Avert performance crisis
• Maintain acceptable service levels whilst sweating assets to the maximum
• Plan changes with minimum disruption to services

Both the quantity and quality of the information provided represent excellent value for money compared to consultancy rates or the cost of time required by in-house staff to achieve the same result.

The service is offered for systems running all leading variants of UNIX, Windows, Oracle and the major Microsoft applications.

If you feel that one of your systems could do with a HealthCheck, Metron will install our low-footprint data capture agent on your system requiring HealthCheck. After a suitable data capture period, data is returned to Metron for analysis. Our experienced consultants will then visit you to present the findings of the HealthCheck or present the findings via a WebEx presentation to your staff. You will also be provided with web publishable written reports.
