Proxmox

Most migrations stall somewhere between the decision and the cutover.

VMware exit migration

Inventory, conversion and staged cutover, with a rollback path at every stage — so a bad evening is an inconvenience rather than an outage. We stay until the last host is moved. The migration plan →

Proxmox VE clusters

HA, quorum, live migration, ZFS replication and Ceph. Redundancy that survives a node going down at 2am, tested rather than assumed.

Proxmox Backup Server

Deduplicated, client-side encrypted storage with scheduled verify jobs — so a twelve-month window costs less space than a month of nightly fulls.

You are not stuck. This is work we have done before, and we will tell you up front where your own environment is going to fight back — before the cutover window, not during it.

Automation

Two hundred devices, one change, and the diff to prove it.

Most networks are configured once by hand and then drift. Automation is what makes the configuration repeatable — the reason a change made on Tuesday can be undone on Wednesday, by whoever is holding the pager.

One run, the whole fleet

The same change goes out to more than two hundred devices in a single pass — switches, servers, firewalls, fiber terminals, UPSs, iDRACs, wireless controllers and Ubiquiti radios. Not two hundred logins and a hope.

Mixed vendors, one codebase

Aruba, Cisco, Fortinet, Palo Alto, MikroTik and Ubiquiti driven from one playbook set. When a new model joins, it inherits the code instead of demanding its own.

Tested before it ships

Every run goes against the least-capable device in the fleet first, in check mode, with the diff read before anything is applied. The rollback path exists before the change does.

Services

The work that keeps a business running.

Network design & build

Cisco, Aruba, Fortinet and Palo Alto deployments — from a single office switch to multi-site VPN and segmented guest networks.

Systems administration

Linux and Windows server management and hardening that has actually been tested rather than assumed.

Proxmox & virtualization

VE clusters, Backup Server and a migration path off VMware. Real redundancy instead of a single server everyone prays to. Proxmox details →

Mail & collaboration

Self-hosted mail that actually delivers — SPF, DKIM, DMARC and reputation configured correctly, not left at defaults.

Network automation

Ansible across a multi-vendor fleet — one change to more than two hundred devices, tested before it ships and logged afterwards. How it works →

Monitoring & security

Zabbix and Grafana observability, alerting that means something, and CrowdStrike-backed endpoint protection.

Managed IT

An IT department without hiring one — monitoring, vendor escalations and a named engineer who knows your environment. How it works →

How we work

No mystery, no lock-in, no surprises.

Assess

We look at what exists — topology, hardware and licensing — and tell you plainly what is fragile and what is fine.

Build

Changes happen deliberately, documented as they go, with a rollback path before anything goes live.

Hand over

You get the diagrams, the credentials and the runbooks. If you ever leave, you leave with everything.

Most networks don’t need replacing. They need finishing.

Have something that needs fixing, or building?

Most engagements start with a conversation about what is failing and what it would take to stop failing.
