Tech Systems Review

Project details

What we need
  • An assessment of Organization's IT infrastructure including costs, speed, reliability and security
  • Advice on various IT services and the cost-benefit associated with each option
  • Potentially more efficient and secure services
  • Note: This does not include tech systems set up or implementation
What we have in place
  • We currently have several cloud-based Linux servers running on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud with the ability to create new server instances as required. This allows us to work with you to re-architect our systems and develop a rollout plan while leaving our mission critical services running.
How this will help
This project will save us $8,001 , allowing us to protect more anti-malarial products from counterfeiters, improving over 2250 lives.

We’re a growing social enterprise whose systems have been scaling recently. As we’ve continued to grow, we would like to update some of the various design decisions taken to accommodate new types of interactions on our platform. As a tech team, we have an opportunity to engage a system administrator who can support our technology review. We’re looking for a driven technology executive to interact with our technology team as we design great, life-saving software used worldwide.

We’re looking for help to improve and implement industry standard techniques relevant to High Availability, DevOps, software containerization, user management and system administration.
