Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance is critical in avoiding major outages by correcting correct small issues before they become big issues.

Glenbriar's Managed Services solutions include both scheduled and real time preventive maintenance, such as updates, monitoring, defragmentations, repairs, adjustments and remediation, at times and in ways that do not interfere with business. These solutions find issues and remedy them before service is disrupted.

The highest point of failure in any IT environment is typically data storage. Fans and disks are the two most common points for hardware failure. A failing fan or a bad bearing may cause components to overheat or fail, resulting in decreased chances of saving critical data.

Manufacturers continuously strive to improve software and firmware to increase reliability, correct problems that could lead to data loss, and implement new technology. Controlling and scheduling updates on critical infrastructure ensures that your site does not experience an outage when an update does not perform as expected.

If hardware and software didn't fail, you wouldn't need Preventive Maintenance.

Behind the closed doors of the server room, components wear out. Regular health checks can catch most failures before a failing component lets go completely and causes an outage or loss of data.
