BitPusher- we push your bits so you don't have to

BitPusher uses a six-part process to understand, improve and sustain your on-line services environment:

First, we work with you to understand your application and business needs. What technologies do you use? How expensive is downtime? What are your plans for growth and new functionality?

Second, we review your existing environment. We look at your servers, your networks, the way systems communicate with each other, and the way your data and directories are organized. We look at the differences between your development enviroment and your production needs. We look at your vulnerabilities, both to failures and to electronic attacks. We also work with you to understand your current operating costs.

Third, we analyze your needs and your current infrastructure and determine how your environment could serve you better. For new applications, we often design the environment from scratch. We have our standards and formulas, but we make sure we know which ones do and don't apply to your unique application. We examine how different choices you can make today would impact your business in the future, both in terms of costs and in terms of flexibility, perfomance and growth.

Fourth, we present you with options. The options we present you with aren't simply choices of technologies; they are complete solutions to your IT needs, including both technology and operations management. Each option includes an initial project to optimize your infrastructure and then a strategy for ongoing management of your environment. We can provide a complete solution, including hardware, data center space and network, or we can provide just the implementation and management services. We also explain the business impact of each choice you have to make.

Fifth, we implement the initial project. We don't just install computers and networking devices -- we also make sure that your environment meets the standards that you expect it to, that your developers and product managers understand how to work with it and that the processes are put in place to maintain your environment in a condition that will maximize availability and performance going forward.

Sixth, we manage your environment. BitPusher manages your infrastructure proactively, keeping all components up-to-date, secure and functioning according to your specifications. We also monitor your systems and fix problems as they arise. All the while, we lower and smooth out your costs -- instead of paying for each incident, you pay a low, fixed monthly fee. And our interests are the same as yours: to keep your application infrastructure running as smoothly and effectively as possible.
