Rack, hardware and Linux
Servers that simply keep running
I build, install and manage server infrastructure — from bolting racks and repairing hardware to remote Linux management. For companies that cannot afford downtime.
- Monitoring and alerting that fire before your customer notices
- One fixed point of contact, no ticket carousel
- Everything documented — you stay the owner of your environment
Services
What I help with
From a one-off job to ongoing management. In practice these tasks blend into each other.
Rack build and installation
Server racks from zero to fully operational: delivery, assembly, power, cabling and labelling — every stage handled in house.
More on thisServer builds and hardware
Building servers from scratch, assembling custom platforms and getting faulty hardware running again — including socket damage and RMA handling.
More on thisRack clean-up and cable management
Making racks that got out of hand workable again: power, labelling and cable management — step by step, without taking anything down.
More on thisReceiving, records and shipping
Taking in equipment with a photo report, building shipment-ready pallets, and keeping a tight record of materials and hours worked.
More on thisLinux server management
Updates, configuration and day-to-day care of your servers — so you stop having to think about them.
More on thisMonitoring and alerting
Knowing something broke before your customer calls — and only being woken when it actually matters.
More on thisMigrations and upgrades
Moving to new hardware, another provider or a newer OS release — with a way back.
More on thisSecurity and hardening
Closing the basics properly: access, updates, firewall and logging. No expensive products, just measures that work.
More on thisBackup and recovery
A backup only counts once the restore has been tested. That is what I design for.
More on thisApproach
Understand first, then touch anything
I do not change an environment I do not know. Every engagement starts with a baseline audit — after that we both know what we are getting into.
- No change without a rollback plan.
- A backup only counts once the restore has been tested.
- Everything I configure is documented inside your own environment.
- You keep the keys. Always handover-ready for a successor.
- Materials and hours are traceable — you can see where everything went.
Is your infrastructure running the way it should?
Half an hour on the phone costs nothing and usually surfaces a few concrete improvements already.
