Server Management
Server configuration and management
Apart from a brief flirtation with Windows servers about 20 years ago, we now concentrate exclusively on Linux boxes, or Kubernetes/Docker images, simply because you can't beat the cost-effectiveness and reliability of the operating system. We mostly use Centos (now Rocky) or Ubuntu Server distributions - the latter when more up to date versions of third party packages are required.
We've never relied on GUI control panel software, preferring instead to manage everything directly from the command line. This confuses some customers who are used to getting cPanel or similar, but we find that in practice people only use a very small portion of the configuration options available in control panels. So why open yourself up to another layer of potential security holes when a quick email to our support team will suffice?
So how can we help you?
We can build new servers, either as standalone hardware or as virtual machines or Docker images. We can take over the management of existing servers or clusters. We can streamline security updates, monitor server performance and resource usage and write custom scripts as required to interface with your existing infastructure.
We can support most major open source packages, and commercial software running on Linux (which includes everything built using Java of course). Most things that you would want to do on a Windows Server such as running a VPN, or a mail server or a network file server can done on Linux with no license costs and can be easily replicated to other Linux hardware for backup or disaster recovery purposes.
