Systems Management

The AS/400 can run smoothly for years! However, don't let its reliability blind you to some exposures that can prove disastrous if not corrected.

I can work with you to make sure these areas of Systems Management are covered:

    Disaster Recovery

    What would happen to your business if your AS/400 or iSeries was destroyed in an earthquake or other catastrophe? You may be risking your business on the answers to these questions:

    • Are you sure your backup procedures are saving ALL of your data? Are some files being left out?
    • Do you have the backup tapes you need to restore your ENTIRE system (software applications and data) if your server or computer room is damaged?
    • Are you taking advantage of technology to reduce the chances of your system failing?
    • Are you using new technology to make your backups faster or more convenient?

    Security Planning and Auditing

    The AS/400 is famous for being free from viruses. However your system is still at risk if a disgruntled employee can see or alter sensitive data.

    • Do your end users have the authority to do their work but NOT to view, change, or delete classified data?
    • Can some users enter commands that they shouldn't?
    • Are there users who never change their passwords? For that matter, are there users who haven't signed on in the last year?
    • Could a total stranger find your system and actually sign on?
