Whether it's data processing, accounting, documentation, presentations, communication, research or Internet access, the shadow of viruses and malware<a href=\"https:\/\/dataprot.net\/statistics\/malware-statistics\/\"> always looms over you<\/a>, threatening to degrade your performance. This may even be one of the reasons why poor processing performance or unpleasant slowness surfaces. Worse still, these problems can shorten the life of your device.   <\/p>\n\n<p>That's why you need to look after your equipment, whatever the size of your business. That's where <strong>IT maintenance <\/strong>comes in.

Essentially, it involves establishing a complete record of all the hardware and software that needs to be maintained to keep the system running smoothly, and ensuring that all the maintenance tasks the system needs are carried out to achieve this goal. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-quels-sont-les-types-de-maintenance-informatique\"><strong>What types of computer maintenance are available?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>As the definition of <strong>IT maintenance<\/strong> is broad, there are 3 main types. These are usually carried out simultaneously.   <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-maintenance-informatique-preventive\">1. <strong>Preventive computer maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>Computerized <\/strong>preventive <strong>maintenance <\/strong>is performed regularly on a piece of equipment to reduce the risk of failure. It is therefore carried out while the machine is still operational, to prevent it from suddenly breaking down. Preventive maintenance helps to reduce the number of repairs, cut downtime and identify weak points that could impair operation.  <\/p>\n\n<p>To ensure this type of maintenance, EVOK offers you <a href=\"https:\/\/evok.com\/fr\/maintenance-nettime\/\">tools for monitoring and preventive surveillance<\/a> of your IT equipment, with the possibility of monitoring more than 20 hosts (IP).  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-maintenance-informatique-predictive\">2. <strong>Predictive computer maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Predictive <strong>information maintenance<\/strong> is a method that uses software and data analysis techniques to detect operating irregularities and potential anomalies in equipment and processes, so that they can be repaired before they fail. Informative predictive maintenance anticipates problems using historical and real-time data from different parts of the service.   <\/p>\n\n<p>A very effective way of carrying out this maintenance is by monitoring computer systems, to prevent potential breakdowns.  <\/p>\n\n<p>With this in mind, EVOK offers <a href=\"https:\/\/evok.com\/fr\/maintenance-et-gestion-dinfrastructure\/?_ga=2.213433748.1857762469.1664269232-10949014.1662736944\">an IT monitoring system<\/a> that enables us to check the status of our customer's services 24 hours a day, open tickets via our CRM in the event of anomalies, and send email reports to highlight any failures.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-maintenance-informatique-corrective\"><strong>3. Corrective computer maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Corrective (or curative) IT maintenance refers to repairs carried out after a system has failed. Its aim is to restore the system to normal operating condition.   <\/p>\n\n<p>An example of corrective maintenance of an IT system is the breakdown of a computer due to a hardware problem. At EVOK, we take steps to get it running optimally again, repairing and replacing as necessary. <\/p>\n\n<p>While corrective maintenance has its place in a solid maintenance plan, it's a short-sighted approach. Relying solely on corrective maintenance for your IT systems is not sustainable in the long term. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ai-je-reellement-besoin-de-service-de-maintenance-informatique\"><strong>Do I really need a computer maintenance service<\/strong>?  <\/h2>\n\n<p>So why do you need this type of service? Can't you do it yourself? <\/p>\n\n<p>When you call on a specialist company like <a href=\"https:\/\/evok.com\/fr\/tableau-comparatif\/\">EVOK<\/a> to take care of your software and hardware maintenance needs, you relieve yourself of the huge burden of making sure your IT is running efficiently, so you can concentrate on your core business.<\/p>\n\n<p>With EVOK, you don't have to worry about what's going on with your systems. You know that your IT support company is keeping track of everything, and resolving problems as they arise. <\/p>\n\n<p>Among the main advantages of working with a specialist company like EVOK:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Early detection of problems  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malware and virus prevention  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improving performance and maximizing equipment efficiency  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Data loss prevention  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-time documentation and reporting  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It's important to look after your equipment, whatever the size of your business.
