Whelpton and Associates
Inc. offers offers world-class consulting and mentoring
services for UNIX. We have a wide range of UNIX expertise,
including Solaris, HP-UP, AIX and Linux. We
also know server software, such as BMC Patrol, Veritas,
Apache, etc.
We offer our services to
a wide range of companies. Many small companies cannot
justify a number of full time UNIX system administrators,
especially with refined skills in many areas. Similarly,
many large companies find that their projects are delayed
by budget and personnel constraints. We can help.
Our high level of expertise
makes it possible for us to complete your project in
less time that was originally expected, since those
plans included the time for your administrators to learn
how to do it. We can also bring your administrators
up to speed, allowing you to become self-reliant quickly,
while avoiding growing pains.
We offer consulting on
a daily and weekly basis. We can take charge of the
project and complete it for you, or as mentors, we can
assist your administrators as required. It is our intention
to help you get up and running as quickly and painlessly
as possible, rather than provide a pseudo employee for
long periods.
In short, we can provide experienced
administrators when you need an extra hand. We can cover
for your administrators when they can't be available.
We can also provide an expert to turn to when your system
administrator has questions or requires advice. Let
us teach you best practices to ensure your systems run
smoothly and reliably.
