System Administration

Our system administration services give your infrastructure reliable, hands-on care. We take full responsibility for the operation, maintenance, and optimization of your servers and cloud environments, so you can stay focused on growing your business.

How Our System Administration Works

Every engagement starts with a review of your current infrastructure. Then we agree on the scope, response times and price before any work begins. As a result, you always know exactly what we manage, how we monitor it, and what happens when something goes wrong. For extra protection, we can also combine system administration with our managed IT security services.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About System Administration

System Administration Services and Platforms

Our system administration covers the full lifecycle of your infrastructure: server and OS installation and migration, web server configuration and optimization, database installation and administration, application servers (PHP-FPM, FastCGI, Node.js, JVM), load balancing and reverse proxy setups, caching solutions, performance tuning, disaster recovery, security hardening, and 24/7/365 monitoring of hardware, network, and connectivity. We adapt the exact scope to your real infrastructure — not a fixed checklist.

We work with all the major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat, and Debian, handling everything from installation and configuration to ongoing management and security hardening.

We support both, so you can manage all your servers with one team. Alongside our Linux system administration, we offer full Windows Server support — installation and configuration, security (Windows Firewall, BitLocker, Defender ATP), virtualization with Hyper-V and VMware, monitoring, and backup and disaster recovery using tools like Windows Server Backup and Azure Backup.

Yes, DevOps is a core part of our services: CI/CD pipeline setup, automated testing and deployments, Infrastructure as Code with Ansible and Terraform, DevSecOps practices, and vulnerability and container security management — alongside strategy consulting if you're planning a broader DevOps transformation.

Yes, we provide infrastructure management across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and private cloud environments, including deployment automation, resource management, and ongoing cost and performance optimization.

Pricing, Subscriptions and Urgent Help

Both options are available. For one-off tasks, complex technical challenges, or urgent situations, on-demand pricing applies: €23.00/hour for system administration, €34.42/hour for DevOps services, or €23.00/hour for a reserved team (charged for the full reserved time). On-demand requests need at least 24 hours' notice. For ongoing, long-term infrastructure care, we also offer managed subscription plans — get in touch and we'll put together a fixed-price proposal based on your needs.

Yes, because incident response for compromised servers and unauthorized access is one of our core services. Our team investigates the breach, contains the issue, and restores your systems securely. On-demand engagements normally require 24 hours' notice, but for genuinely urgent cases, contact us directly and we'll do our best to prioritize the request.

Neither is required by default — we work both ways. You can book a one-off, on-demand engagement for a specific task or urgent issue, or set up an ongoing subscription/reserved-team arrangement if you need continuous, hands-on infrastructure management. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll recommend the most sensible option.
