What would you need to know if the ordinary things of life started mutating at a fast pace around you: plants, animals, people, society, language; if reality or evolution was put on “fast-forward”?
IT in the Internet and AI Age is this accelerated reality. Millions of brains collaborating and competing in the pursuit of beneficial change, or for an edge over rivals. Each contributing to "chaos" but each also paradoxically depending on, and consolidating the bedrock of technologies on which the edifice stands.
In the cloud and on-premises, you want your backend infrastructure to stand on this ground. What you want to know and build your IT upon is this foundation, namely, the Unix/Linux open-source ecosystem and open standards (which power the Internet and the cloud).
The learning curve is steep, but things work, scale well, and maintenance costs are low.* Everything that runs on a server is done better using Open Source and open standards: Operating Systems, web servers, databases, virtualization, containerization, networking, cloud applications, websites, backups, firewalls, clusters, VPNs, Zero Trust, multi-WAN aggregation, Remote Monitoring and Maintenance, M365 management, intrusion detection, domain controllers, file sharing, ML and LLMs, etc.
This is what we bring: 20+ years of experience that goes well beyond the management of windows computers, a safer and more stable infrastructure, and hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in maintenance and license costs. Open-Source software is a cornerstone of anti-fragile IT.
