Customer Challenges
In 2016, Toucan had several technical hitches that threatened the delivery of services and client satisfaction. These issues included.
Outdated CMS Platforms
Many client websites were running on old CMS versions, leading to security risks and performance issues.
Disk Space Shortages
Insufficient disk space caused frequent slowdowns and interruptions in service.
Service Outages
Recurring server outages disrupted client websites and tarnished the company’s reputation.
Resource Spikes
High resource consumption frequently overloaded the server, leading to slow response times.
FTP and File Permissions Problems
These problems would not allow seamless updates and file management that were vital for clients, thus causing delays.
Security Concerns
The increased cyber threats, especially concerning vital services such as SSH, imperiled the data and server integrity.
Bobcares Solution
Recognizing the urgent need to address these technical challenges, Toucan turned to Bobcares for their Server Management and Monitoring Services in 2016.
