Service 02

Systems & infrastructure

Infrastructure earns its keep by being boring. We build Linux systems and virtualized hosts that are sized for the workload, backed up on a schedule someone has actually tested, and monitored so problems are found before people report them.

  • Linux
  • Virtualization
  • Servers
  • Cloud infrastructure
  • Backup
  • Monitoring

What this covers

Inside a systems & infrastructure engagement

Dependable computing infrastructure: Linux systems, virtualization, servers, cloud infrastructure, backup, monitoring and operations.

  • 01

    Linux systems

    Installation, hardening, service configuration and maintenance on the distributions you already run.

  • 02

    Virtualization

    Several aging machines consolidated onto one properly sized host, with isolation between workloads.

  • 03

    Backup and recovery

    A backup schedule with a written recovery path — and a restore proven once before handover.

  • 04

    Monitoring and alerting

    Central visibility across hosts, services and network devices, with alerts that mean something.

  • 05

    Cloud infrastructure

    Workloads deployed and operated where they belong, on your infrastructure or a provider's.

Who it's for

Signs you need this

  • Businesses running a server nobody wants to touch
  • Teams with no tested backup
  • Organizations that learn about outages from staff
  • Projects that need a stable environment to build on

What you get

Delivered at handover

  • Host and service inventory
  • Backup schedule and a tested restore
  • Monitoring dashboards and alert routing
  • Runbook notes for routine maintenance

How we engage

Three ways to start

Pricing depends on size, site and travel — always agreed in writing before any work begins.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    We look at what you have, test what matters, and hand back findings with priorities. Scoped to your environment — cost depends on size and travel, agreed before we start.

  2. 02

    Project

    A defined build: a network, a server consolidation, a segmentation programme. Quoted once the scope is clear, with a handover pack at the end.

  3. 03

    Ongoing support

    Monitoring, maintenance and a person to call. Monthly, sized by how much infrastructure is under care.

Systems & infrastructure in practice

Representative engagements — details generalized to protect client privacy.

  • Infrastructure monitoring

    Visibility into a growing network

    Challenge
    Outages were discovered by staff before they were discovered by IT.
    Result
    Issues surfaced and addressed before they affected users.
  • Server infrastructure

    Consolidated virtualization host

    Challenge
    Aging standalone servers with no backup strategy.
    Result
    Simpler maintenance and a defined recovery plan.
