Our Services




Linux Administration

With Linux expertise dating back to 1994 we have an unrivalled deep understanding of Linux. We help organizations with every day linux administration tasks up through complex performance/reliability troubleshooting. We also have an expertise in creating maintainable Linux environments to optimize IT budgets and personnel.

Security

Our goal is to provide actionable security advice specific to the client's environment. Our pragmatic approach isn't about checking boxes on an audit checklist, but rather a full-stack examination of the real-world risks to your business.We perform vulnerability scans using the same tools used by hackers, and assist with attack forensics.

Scalable Environments

Scaling infrastructure to meet the demands of a growing environment can be a daunting task. We have the expertise of having "been there, done that" having scaled multiple high-volume Internet-facing brands. Our full-stack approach allows us to identify and resolve bottlenecks at all layers of the environment.

Automation

Modern web-scale applications require infrastructure automation to properly scale.We have expertise in multiple open-source automation packages (Ansible, Chef, Puppet), and the experience of having built automated environments correctly. Automation done correctly can be a force multiplier for an operations team, but when done wrong can become a burden.

AWS Professionals

Building an infrastructure to maximize Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources requires unique skills that traditional operations teams may lack. We have leveraged AWS IaaS and PaaS services to build highly-scalable and easily maintained environments. Our deep knowledge of AWS APIs allows us to take a modern, programmatic approach to infrastructure.

Team Optimization

With our modern approach to IT and operations, we help clients fix internal teams that are struggling or lack direction. Our expertise is focused on creating functional team roadmaps based on business requirements, and reorganizing teams to be successful in reaching those objectives.
