Most internal IT teams and small MSPs are missing the same five things: RMM, real documentation, a ticketing system, centralized logging, and backups that actually restore. We provide that platform at a fraction of what it costs to build - and we keep it running.
This is not an outsourcing play. We do not touch your users, and we do not take your seat.
You keep the relationships, the walk-ups, the face-to-face support that only someone on site can do well. We take the layer underneath - the servers, the hypervisors, the backups, the monitoring, the documentation nobody ever has time to write.
Not because the team is not good. Because building and maintaining these is a full-time job on top of the job they already have.
Every endpoint and server agented, patched and alerting - so you find out from a dashboard, not from a user.
Living documentation of the environment: what runs where, how it is configured, and how to recover it. The thing that is always missing after a retirement or a resignation.
A real queue with history and accountability, so work is tracked instead of living in someone's inbox.
Logs shipped off the box and retained. When something breaks - or someone gets in - you can actually answer what happened.
Offsite, versioned, monitored, and tested. We report on restores, not just on jobs that claim success.
The same build, the same naming, the same runbooks across every site. Standardization is what makes a small team able to run a large environment.
A lot of teams come to us with a room full of aging physical servers and a renewal quote that no longer makes sense. We consolidate onto open platforms we run ourselves, in production, every day.
Open source is the competitive advantage here - but only when it is deployed and maintained to a professional standard. That is the part we do.
Internal IT teams who are strong at their actual work - applications, users, the business - but were never infrastructure specialists, and are now holding infrastructure anyway.
Teams that lost people. Retirement, resignation, or worse. The environment still runs, but nobody left can explain it.
Small MSPs who want to offer a modern infrastructure stack without hiring a virtualization and backup specialist to build it.
Four of the conversations we have most often. Every one of them has the same shape: the product still works, the environment has not changed, and the renewal turned into a budget event.
Perpetual licences retired, SKUs rebundled, per-CPU core minimums. We move ESXi environments to Proxmox VE with the source VMs kept intact for rollback.
How the migration runs ›The free standalone product ended in 2019. What is left is Windows Server per-core licensing, minimums and CALs - for a hypervisor people still call free.
How the migration runs ›Cheap box, permanent subscription. Let it lapse and the protection you paid for quietly stops - while traffic keeps flowing and nothing raises an alarm.
How the swap runs ›Tiered security suites, a feature key with an expiry date, and an end-of-support clock on the hardware. We replace the whole arrangement.
How the swap runs ›SonicWall, WatchGuard, and the rest sell the box cheap and the subscription forever. Let it lapse and features you already paid for switch themselves off.
It is a familiar pattern: an appliance quietly goes end-of-life, the renewal quote arrives at several thousand a year, and the pitch is fear - that without their subscription the internet is coming for you. Meanwhile the hardware is aging, the firmware is behind, and nobody on the team is confident enough to touch it.
We replace that with a modern, open edge platform that we deploy and maintain. More capability, no subscription, and no kill switch - your security does not depend on whether an invoice cleared.
Hypervisor licensing. Firewall subscriptions. Backup seat counts. Per-endpoint tooling. Individually they are line items - together they are a business you do not control, renewing on somebody else's schedule at somebody else's price.
We replace them with platforms you own, standardized and documented, running on hardware you already have. Fewer renewals, more capability, and the freedom to walk away from any of it.
Not a discovery call with a salesperson.
Tell us what you are running and what is keeping you up. We will tell you honestly whether co-managed makes sense for you, and what we would standardize first.
We do not share your details, and we will not add you to a drip campaign.
