Virtualisation
We split one physical server into many isolated machines and make the whole thing manageable.
Buying a separate box for every job is expensive and hard to manage. Virtualisation splits one strong machine, so accounting, the database and a test environment sit on the same hardware while staying isolated from each other, and one falling over does not take the rest with it. Backups get easier too: you can snapshot a whole machine, which makes a restore a matter of minutes.
What we do
What we deliver. Every line is a concrete item you can raise in the next meeting.
Container environment
Docker so applications run without treading on each other, and version upgrades stay uneventful.
Backup and restore
Scheduled snapshots, a second copy held elsewhere, and regular restore drills.
Monitoring and alerts
CPU, memory, disk and temperature tracking, with a notification when a threshold is crossed.
Migrating what you run
Moving physical machines into the virtual environment, with a downtime plan and a reversible cutover.
Tools we use
- Proxmox VE
- VMware
- Docker
- ZFS
- Veeam / Proxmox Backup Server
Frequently asked
Own server or cloud?
If an internet outage does not stop your work, the cloud is easier. For production, warehouse and till environments we put the server on site, and we do run hybrids.
Can we migrate without downtime?
In most cases downtime is under an hour and happens outside working hours. The old system is left intact, so if something goes wrong we roll back.
How do we know the backups work?
At regular intervals we restore the backup into a test environment and send you the result. Nobody can promise that a backup nobody has ever tried will work.
Tell us how this works at your company.
We listen to what you use today and where it jams, then send you what can be done in writing. If it already works well enough, we will tell you it is not worth touching.
