Beyond its implementation, your infrastructure will need to evolve to meet increased service demands and to respond to changes in your business environment – for example, to prevent security incidents and to accommodate changes in business strategy (e.g. adopting a new international delivery model).  As a result, your infrastructure needs to be flexible, whilst remaining Ultra* secure and ultra-available.

The Bunker provides an Ultra* secure Performance Optimisation service to help your computing platform evolve smoothly and cost-effectively.  Whilst security is built into the system core, we ensure that your infrastructure can scale efficiently and maintain peak performance at all times.

Our Performance Optimisation service follows a standard, three step process as follows:

Performance Scoping

• Raw speed
• • …we evaluate speed of service delivery – at all levels, in line with your new requirements
    
    
• Capacity planning (load management)
• • …we evaluate system usage spikes and plan new ways to optimise your resources and enhance performance
    
    
• Availability
• • …we evaluate system uptime to ensure key resources are focused on key usage periods
    
    
• Service delivery
• • ….we evaluate system user experience an and identify areas where performance can be improved to increase its efficiency

Performance Monitoring

• System monitoring
• • …using a proven tool set, we systematically monitor each system component to discover where bottle necks are occurring
    
    
• Identification of system parameters
• • …using a proven tool set, we stress test your system to establish breaking points and future performance bottle necks

Performance Optimisation

• Optimisation of system parameters
• • …in line with your new requirements, our system engineers recompile your system infrastructure to deliver optimised performance at the following component levels:
    
    
• Web server(s)
  
  
• Infrastructure (operating system)
  
  
• Database(s)
  
  
• Kernel level recompilation and optimisation (eg, Apache tuning)

The Bunker’s Performance Optimisation service is led and delivered by our core team of security experts, and has been utilised to enhance some of the UK’s most demanding application environments – such as You Devise, Towers Perrin and Moneybookers.
