Microsoft IIS Performance & Security Tuning Services

	When do you need IIS Mechanics' help with performance and security? When you know you need more Web speed or less bandwidth -- but just aren't sure how to get there... When you want to know the limitations of your Web site or application in terms of users and requests per second... When you need in-depth penetration testing or if you've just been hacked... When an audit is coming up... When best practices count... When you want to get IIS security and performance right... the first time.		Home » IIS Tuning Web performance and security is part art, part science. You have to be able to understand the big picture, network-wise (appliances, load balancers, servers), how TCP/IP and HTTP/HTTPS works in the specifications and RFCs and also in the real world. Then you need to understand Web servers, browsers, Web sites and applications, developers, admins, users, stakeholders, and the dread hackers -- and how the whole thing comes together to deliver a Web page again and again with speed and security. IIS Mechanics provides Microsoft IIS-focused performance and security tuning for one reason: our clients kept asking for help. We keep projects small, cost-effective, and focused, delivering real value in a few weeks time. Most projects can be done remotely over phone, e-mail, and remote desktop, but we can travel for onsite work if called upon. Below are some of the tuning services offered by IIS Mechanics -- Contact IIS Mechanics today to get your performance or security tuning project started... IIS Performance Tuning: What You Provide - After estimation and securing the IIS Mechanics team, you will be asked to give us a brief network overview, access to your Web site and Web servers, and a list of your highest-traffic URLs... What We Do - IIS Mechanics will review your network environment and IIS setup and then make sure that all bases are covered for basic "best practices" in IIS and ASP.NET performance. We will then begin to test download times for your target URLs and their dependent files to establish a baseline of current performance and look for bottlenecks. Based on multiple heats against the application and the resulting data gathered, IIS Mechanics will provide a custom report detailing the analysis conducted and steps and/or technologies that will boost the performance of your IIS system. How Long Does It Take? - Most IIS Performance Tuning projects take 10-20 hours, with the final report delivered in 2 weeks. What Does It Cost? - All projects are estimated by hours at a rate of $200/hour. IIS Load and Stress Testing: What You Provide - After estimation and securing the IIS Mechanics team, you will be asked to give us a brief network overview, access to your Web site, Web servers and at least one free "client" computer on your network, and a list of your highest-traffic URLs... What We Do - IIS Mechanics will set up a local client/server system to generate load against your Web server using available software from Microsoft. We will then begin to test download times for your target URLs and their dependent files in relation to load of requests against the Web server. This will be compared against standard IIS response curves under load. Tests are often conducted before and after performance enhancements have been added to the server to demonstrate the ROI and impact of performance technologies on memory usage and response times. Based on multiple heats against the application and the resulting data gathered, IIS Mechanics will provide a custom report detailing the analysis conducted and performance limitations of your IIS system. How Long Does It Take? - Most IIS Load and Stress Testing projects take 15-25 hours, with the final report delivered in 2 weeks. What Does It Cost? - All projects are estimated by hours at a rate of $200/hour. IIS Security Tuning: Do you know if the information systems are secure in your company?
