Systems Administration

 

At Xavier Innovations, we are responsible for maintaining the computer systems of a company. Server management is a primary responsibility, as we install, maintain and upgrade servers. We are also in charge of ensuring the servers are backed up and that the server data is secure from unauthorized access. As system administrators, we will often perform light programming, usually scripting, which involves writing programs to automate tasks.

 

Xavier Innovations has a strong knowledge of operating systems and applications, as well as hardware and software troubleshooting. We consider ourselves problem solvers, able to work under a variety of constraints and stress. When a computer system goes down or malfunctions, we quickly and correctly diagnose the situation and determine how to fix it.

 

Particularly when dealing with Internet-facing or business-critical systems, we have a strong grasp of computer security. This includes not merely deploying software patches, but also preventing break-ins and other security problems with preventive measures. At Xavier Innovations, we provide services such as (but not limited to):
