Any Assist for IBM i Server

Anykey offers you the Server Assist service. This service enables you to prepare for the delivery of your new machine achieving a well-planned hassle-free delivery, installation and implementation.

Any Assist for IBM i Performance and Capacity Planning

The System Performance and Capacity Planning service is available to you to ensure that you are gaining maximum utilisation from your investment in IBM i equipment. This service also enables customers to communicate potential changes to areas of operation or usage therefore enabling Anykey to predict the impact of these changes to the machine’s operation and growth requirements.

Any Assist for IBM i System Monitoring

Remote monitoring is a service that helps you minimise the risk of system failure that may occur due to problems such as file systems filling up, paging space running low, and memory utilisation. Unfortunately these problems are rarely detected until it is too late to avoid the failure. Anykey is able to provide automated monitoring, which enables us to assess your system, and generate a report, which will highlight any potential problems before they arise.

Any Assist for IBM i Backup and Recovery

Anykey can evaluate your current backup strategy, performing tests as necessary, and recommend any possible areas of improvement. Should there be any deficiencies in your backup strategy, Anykey would design and customise backup procedures which would achieve the specific requirements and needs of the customer. The procedures could be as simple as a customised application through to an enterprise wide backup and recovery solution such as the award winning BRMS solution.

Any Assist for IBM i Auditing

The i5/OS Operating System provides an auditing capability as standard. This auditing system may be used as a security tool enabling the customer to log every event that occurs but may also be used for general auditing purposes. Anykey is able to implement and set up the auditing sub-system to automate notification of any events which might occur.
