Premium Hardware, Overkill Support, and Highly Optimized Configurations
Austin Software Architects uses Dell equipment for our Servers and Network infrastructure and one of several Tier 1 national data-centers. All of our equipment comes with Dell hardware replacement guarantees from UniSys that ensures that if something on the hardware breaks, Dell will fix it immediately. This is normally within hours of the discovery of the problem. Our support team will keep you updated at every step as they review, discover, and correct any issues with your system.
Enterprise Grade, Dell PowerEdge Servers
Our systems use only the highest quality Dell servers, with fully redundant systems to provide failure proof operation. Every component of the system has a backup spare so that if the first one fails, the second one will take over and continue uninterrupted. When a hardware failure occurs, our engineers are automatically notified by several different systems and Dell immediately dispatches a technician to replace the primary piece of hardware while the second one is running the system.
Full access via SFTP to your system files
If you have your own IT developer, graphic designer, or you are a coder on your own, we provide both SFTP and SVN access to your hosting space. This allows you to connect securely and also allows you to have full access to all areas of your system and its source code. Optionally, we can also restrict this access entirely so that your system source code cannot be accessed from outside of your machine. This provides the maximum level of security for your machine if you desire.
Having a problem at 3am? Give us a call
We offer basic level (show-stopper only) case support on a 24/hour basis with every hosting package that we have. This protects you in the event that your system goes down for any reason by ensuring that you have a Senior Developer available within 15 minutes, 24/7/365. In addition, we offer extended support packages that provide support for everything, right down to user training issues. These extended support packages give you total support for your CRM system and its users, saving you significant costs over staffing an internal IT department.
Custom Architect Systems, Dedicated and OnDemand
Every hosting package from Austin Software Architects includes a discovery and interviewing process to start. This is where we examine the needs of your system, the number of users that will be on the system, the types of processes that the system will be running, the total bandwidth requirements, the locations of the end users, and the volume increase rate for the next 24 months. These things and numerous other items help us understand what options are the most cost effective for you. In some cases, the best solution is a machine in your office location. Sometimes, it is best to put a machine at a data center so that users from outside of your office can reach it faster.
We help you determine those needs, in the shortest time possible. We ask all the right questions, in a single meeting, so that we get things moving right away. We have designed hundreds of systems, all with unique needs and requirements. We can put that previous knowledge to work for you today!
