Asset Management System Crash Support back
Few events cause more problems -- and cost more in time and resources -- than a system crash. And, unfortunately, few in the IT world are trained in the topic. For more than twenty years Alexander LAN, Inc. has not only helped in the prevention, recovery, diagnostics and resoution of system crashes, the company has encouraged IT professionals to learn it themselves.

Learning to Analyze System Crashes
After teaching crash analysis in countless technical sessions at conferences on three continents, we have put into print the basics. Select from the articles listed to the right, published by Network World Magazine, and you will learn how to identify the cause of most crashes. Reading the article then configuring your PC may take an hour. However, following that, you will be able to resolve two out of three crash events -- typically in less than one minute.
