Your favorite consultant in all things tech regardless of if it’s networking, system administration, automation, development, security and compliance management or compliant implementation of AI tools. If it’s got to do with tech, networking, security or compliance, we can do it. The only real limitation would be graphical design as should be abundantly clear from the “design” of this site. Could’ve use AI, probably should’ve used AI for the site, we did not.
Networking
We’re primarily focused on Cisco’s ecosystems working with both IOS, IOS-XE, IOS-XR and NX-OS for both datacenter, core and edge networking, doing anything from the more basic access networks, to EVPN+VXLAN based datacenter networks and core networks with a global footpring and default-free BGP routing with or without various traffic engineering solutions, DDoS protection systems, MPLS/VPLS/SR/L3VPN transports etc.
You’re not into Cisco, or doing a software based stack? We do that to, when the needs call for it. We work with both Juniper, Arista, HP, FRR and other vendors. For firewalling we’ve mostly worked with Fortinet and Palo Alto, but it’s really only a matter of configuration style and language, if it switches/routes/in any way touched networking packets, we can handle it.
Systems, databases, storage and hardware
Also known as the easy part of any kind of operations department, soon to be mostly overtaken by AI, but we do it if you need us to. Any web/app/database/storage systems, we can handle them. On-prem virtualization platforms like Proxmox, ESXi and OpenStack as well as various cloud or hybrid deployments involving AWS, Azure, GCP, OCP or the likes thereof.
For your storage needs we can do Ceph, we can do vsphere, veeam, classic stuff like NFS, more enterprisy stuff like netapp, what do you need? We can do it, it’s really just various fancy interfaces to harddrives, yours or someone elses.
We do hardware design, procurement, deployment, lifecycle management, monitoring and anything else you need hardware to do, that’s if you even want to have your own hardware in todays environment.
Development and automation
While not a focus area we’ve done our fair share of development in both the web area (primarily on the PHP, WordPress, Joomla and Drupal platforms but anything goes), or systems development in x86 assembler, C/C++/C# as well as various applications tools and services in Python, Perl and Ruby, not to mention all the shell scripting in all the different dialects (Bash, Ksh, Csh, Tcsh, ZSH, Powershell need we go on?). It’s only code really and the language or framework is simply an abstraction layer to the hardware architecture below. If you need it we can probably do it.
Security and compliance
In this day and age we’re no strangers to either security nor compliance. Security should be a primary thought in everything one does, be it a one-off shellscript or a massive business logic application. And straying into the territory of compliance you’ve got security audits and assurances of compliant implementations of the relevant regulations. SOC2 and ISO27001 are home territory for us too, we can handle the management of the information security systems for both, as well as help you ensure your organization is compliant, and stays compliant. The ISO27001 audits shouldn’t be a headache, it should be a regular Tuesday since everythings properly documented and easily traceable right?
