Our Get Me Out Of Trouble (“GMOOT”) process is a great way to get a hand with an urgent server/network issue which might only need a couple of hours of an expert’s time to resolve.

  • Design / Architecture questions
  • Linux mail server issue, such as SPF record analysis or file system problem

We CAN'T help with

  • Not-urgent requests not demanding immediate attention

Remote access

We provide all Linux/Devops consulting services remotely. Normally this is done using the SSH protocol. We can provide our static IPs so that you can add them to your firewall to open up the SSH ports, and can also provide our team’s public SSH keys. Alternative methods such as VPN, web consoles, remote desktop, screen sharing are less efficient. The easier you make it for us to get into your system, the more time we will have available to help you!
