Advice for your digital sovereignty
Regardless of whether you want to set up a new on-premise or cloud infrastructure - we will be happy to advise you.
Consulting in the following areas requires in-depth technical knowledge and an understanding of the client's specific business processes in order to develop customized solutions that meet both technical requirements and business objectives. A comprehensive approach that takes into account both the technical possibilities and the legal framework is essential.
Demystifying the cloud or on-prem vs. cloud
The choice between on-premises (on-prem) and cloud infrastructures is based on a variety of factors such as the need for control over physical infrastructures, regulatory requirements, costs and the need for scalability and flexibility. On-prem solutions offer comprehensive control and data security, while cloud models impress with their flexibility in scaling. It is important to emphasize that dynamic on-prem concepts can in many cases represent an equal alternative to the cloud. Our approach feels at home in both environments. The design of the IT architecture must be individually tailored to the company's requirements, including aspects such as availability, scalability, security and compliance. While cloud structures often promote rapid innovation through the use of managed services, on-prem systems allow individual adaptation to specific requirements in terms of hardware and compliance.
Consistency or change? HA systems vs. Kubernetes
The decision between classic high availability (HA) and modern orchestration solutions such as Kubernetes depends on the specific requirements of the applications and the IT infrastructure. Kubernetes provides a flexible, container-based platform for automating the deployment, scaling and management of applications, which is particularly beneficial for cloud-native applications. Traditional HA solutions, on the other hand, are often found in on-prem environments where customized, robust systems are required for critical applications.
Virtualization deluxe or hypervisor technologies explained
The choice of hypervisor depends on the specific requirements for virtualization, performance and compatibility with the existing infrastructure. Free software offers powerful hypervisor technologies such as KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine) or Xen, which represent an efficient and flexible virtualization solution for your company. This has resulted in numerous products such as Proxmox or XCP (Xen Cloud Platform).
Less work, more magic or the magic of automation
Automation plays a central role in modern IT infrastructures, both in on-prem and cloud environments. It enables efficient resource management, a reduction in human error and a faster response to market changes. Tools and technologies from the field of free software offer a wide range of options for automating deployments, network configurations and other administrative tasks.
Rethinking software supply chains, focus on CI/CD
Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) are core practices in modern software development that enable fast and reliable software delivery. By automating builds, tests and deployments, development teams can react more quickly to customer requirements and ensure the quality of their software. Free software offers numerous tools and platforms for implementing and optimizing CI/CD processes.
Mirror worlds and the art of storage replication
Whether on-prem or in the cloud, storage replication is essential for your data security.
Better safe than sorry, DRBD for your data
DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device) is a free software solution for mirroring data over the network that enables high availability of data by synchronizing storage devices in real time. It is particularly suitable for on-prem environments where direct control over physical resources is required.
From pools and file systems, immerse yourself in the world of ZFS
ZFS is an advanced file system with integrated storage management that offers features such as snapshots, cloning and high data integrity. With its advanced replication capabilities, ZFS is suitable for both on-prem and cloud environments to store and manage data securely and efficiently.
Scaling without limits and why Ceph can be the answer
Ceph is a highly scalable, distributed storage solution that provides object, block and file storage in a standardized platform. It is particularly suitable for environments that require massive scalability and flexibility, such as cloud infrastructures.
Breaking barriers, strengthening security
In the dynamic landscape of IT security, it is essential to break through traditional barriers in order to establish advanced, robust security systems. Our security technology consulting aims to help companies design their security architecture in such a way that it can withstand not only current but also future threats.
Network security redefined, firewalls as guardians
Firewalls play a crucial role in network security by blocking unwanted traffic and implementing effective access controls. Our expertise spans multiple operating systems, including Linux and BSD, which underlines our versatility and in-depth knowledge of different IT environments. Especially in the BSD area, open source solutions such as OPNsense and pfSense offer advanced firewall functions that enable highly customizable and powerful network traffic management. These tools demonstrate our ability to operate in a wide range of system environments and address specific security requirements with efficient, scalable solutions.
Building bridges with VPNs
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are crucial for IT security in companies by providing a secure connection via the Internet. They encrypt data transmissions, protect against eavesdropping attempts and secure remote access to company resources. An effective VPN implementation requires careful protocol selection and strong security settings to fend off external threats without compromising performance. We provide a VPN box for remote maintenance in places that are difficult to access.
The shield against digital eavesdroppers
In the digital era, comprehensive protection of company data through advanced encryption strategies is essential. We focus on implementing robust encryption techniques that secure both data at rest and data in transit to ensure confidentiality and integrity across on-premises and cloud platforms. Encrypting data at rest protects it from physical and digital access, while encrypting data in transit ensures its security during transmission over networks. Our approach integrates these technologies into a comprehensive security architecture that also includes access controls and network security. The aim is to create a resilient infrastructure that ensures data integrity at every stage and equips companies to overcome current and future security challenges.
