What is Future Engineer™ Pro
Future Engineer™ Pro is our pro-active managed services option. It’s designed to let us deal with your server and you can focus on running your business. In addition to receiving support on anything installed on your server with our standard Future Engineer, we also offer pro-active services. Future Engineer™ Pro includes pro-active monitoring of key services on your server such as your web server, mail servers and FTP servers. In the event of your server being unresponsive, our 24/7 technical team will be alerted and respond to the service failure to bring your service back online.
Future Engineer™ Pro also includes pro-active server health checks. We will run scans on your server on a frequent basis for a variety of issues. You will be notified of the results of our scans. We also pro-actively notify you of security, operating system and kernel updates so we can schedule a time to complete the updates. Future Engineer™ Pro also configures your server to send our support staff all the servers alerts instead of sending them to you directly.
What is Future Engineer™ Standard
Future Engineer™ Standard is our reactive managed services option. Future Hosting offers management with Future Engineer on any server with a control panel (i.e. Plesk or cPanel.) With our basic managed services you have the ability to contact support 24/7 and we will offer assistance with anything installed on the server upon delivery. That includes PHP, MySQL, Apache, e-mail servers, etc. Without a managed services package, support is available 24/7 for network and hardware issues only. With this managed package, contact us when you need an update or have an issue and we will be happy to assist you.
Why Choose Future Engineer™ 2.0 as Opposed to Traditional Technical Support?
Future Engineer™ 2.0 offers an extraordinary advantage over traditional technical support. Since the system automates routine tasks like account provisioning and security scans, our datacenter technicians are free to spend their time addressing complicated or direct customer concerns. As a result, we are able to offer a variety of premium technical support services at no charge to our customers. Future Engineer™ 2.0 allows customers to access clear and easy to understand reports of their servers health on a weekly basis. During the weekly health check, should a problem be detected including software updates or security risks, a ticket will be opened under the clients account notifying them of the problem and what corrective action should be taken. Upon approval from the client, technicians will take appropriate action to resolve the issue.
If you do not have managed services, our support team will still be here to assist you 24/7 with network or hardware related questions.
