When was the last time your systems had a comprehensive review? Are you aware of your resource utilization? Or do you know if upgrades and their respective hardware requirements have outstripped your infrastructure environment? We, at ChoiceTel, recommend our customers have regular health checks on their systems. Health checks can discover unknown issues such as 1) over–utilized resources, 2) out–of–spec hardware, 3) compliance issues, and 4) security holes in system access. Just like your health, the health of your systems needs to be monitored. And, just like your health, system responses can sometimes be negatively impacted when resources are over-utilized. Having properly allocated resources and system management will produce positive results within the application experience, and it will help manage risk for the overall environment in the long term.
