Alvaka’s Service Philosophy
One person cannot possibly know it all. The technology landscape changes every day. Today’s Alvaka has enjoyed nearly 40 years working in partnership with our clients. Through our trusted partner position, we constantly strive to improve our practices and delivery methods. We will always focus on understanding how our action or inaction impacts our clients’ businesses. It is our unwavering commitment to constantly provide real value, and be there when our clients’ need us.
We are committed to leading our industry in the push for constant improvement, increased value, and unwavering ethics. For many in our industry, profits are made through failure to be proactive, the injection of mystery and the perception that what they are doing is magic. Alvaka, on the other hand, earns our clients’ confidence and investment through open, concise, and constant dialogue. We work towards our clients gaining a true understanding of the positives and negatives of technology. We offer unbiased opinions and only inject new technology where it suits a client’s needs, not just our wallets.

Why we are different
Alvaka is 100% committed to investing in the best people and tools available. Since the early 1980’s we have led our industry in the area of Advanced Network Management (managed services) and remain out in front. While others are now speaking our language, they are years behind in having a defined and repeatable model and the experience and longevity that we have proven. They do not have tested and perfected people and methods that we use every day to provide premium, yet affordable services.
Alvaka is committed to the promise that “We Will Expertly Manage and Secure Your Network.” This is not just a statement, but a deeply imbedded part of our corporate culture. Our commitment starts with the first contact and is the driving force of our company. Our executives, engineers and consultants maintain deep relationships with our clients that deliver mutual success.
As electronic information and communication become an ever growing part of American business, they place a significant burden on those responsible for their stewardship.
Alvaka understands the balance between investment and return. We will continue to develop programs of engagement that empower our clients to make sound decisions about how their information systems should be supported and how to work towards a viable safe harbor against regulatory failures.

Smoke testing is a term used to describe the testing process for servers after patches are applied. 
Estimating an average time for patching servers and PCs can be a bit tricky. It can vary from one month to the next, depending upon the number and complexity of the patches released by your software vendors. You must consider all versions of operating systems and have a complete inventory of all your application software to do this job correctly. Our experience has shown that manual patching of systems takes on average of about 1.5 hours each.
This is a basic cost calculator for you to compute your typical monthly cost for patching your servers, PCs, laptops, tablets and associated application software. It also forms the basis for you to begin calculating your Return on Investment for software patching, or for comparison with alternatives to the manual process of patching operating systems and application software—such as Patch Management as a Service, also known as Vulnerability Management as a Service.
