A Linux Health Check is most useful when it turns a technical review into decisions a business can act on. The goal is to understand what is running, identify important operational risks, and agree on what should happen next.
What the review should cover
- Inventory of the agreed servers, operating systems, and important services.
- Patch posture, support lifecycle, resource use, disk capacity, and key configuration findings.
- Access and backup-job checks, with gaps recorded for follow-up.
- Prioritized findings that explain impact and suggested next steps.
A successful backup job alone does not prove that a restore will work. Recovery testing should be scoped separately when the business needs evidence of recoverability.
What you should receive
Ask for an inventory, a concise findings report, a risk register, and a prioritized 90-day roadmap. The roadmap should distinguish immediate risks from planned improvements and identify dependencies or customer decisions.
Choosing the right size
For market testing, OS Assistance offers a one-time assessment at $495 for one agreed Linux server and $2,000 for up to five agreed Linux servers. The five-server option adds a fleet-level view. Scope, access, deliverables, and schedule are confirmed before work begins.
This assessment is a health and operations review. It does not automatically include remediation, a penetration test, or an assurance certification. Those require a separate agreement.
Request the one-server or five-server Linux Health Check and share the scope you have in mind.
