SERVICES — ADVISE. TRANSITION. OPERATE.

Advise. Transition.
Operate.

Three stages that build on each other. The decision becomes the rebuild, the rebuild becomes stable operations. At every stage the decision is yours. We make sure the basis for it holds.

01
ADVISE

Advise.

“Does our decision hold up? And do we see everything that follows from it?”

You are facing a decision that comes round only every five to ten years. Before it is made, we look at where you stand, examine the realistic options and work out what each one means technically and financially. In the end you decide on facts instead of instinct.

You see every optionWhat you have, which paths are realistic and what they cost across the whole lifecycle.
You decide yourselfYou get a clear recommendation, but no pressure to follow it. And when the right advice is to leave it, we say so.
You know the price up frontEvery entry point at a fixed price, with a fixed scope and a result that stands on its own.

THE DECISION BECOMES THE REBUILD
02
TRANSITION

Transition.

“The migration must not so much as brush the day-to-day business.”

Your business keeps running while we rebuild. You hand over the risk of the work: target architecture, build, migration, cutover and support until sign-off are ours. You keep control and visibility throughout.

Your operations stay protectedWe migrate in waves, with planned ways back, instead of switching everything at once.
You keep controlThe cutover follows a script, with clear abort criteria and clear responsibilities.
Finished means stableWe stay on board until the agreed sign-off, not until the final invoice.
Cabling in a data center
CORE SERVICECritical Infrastructure TransitionYou commission phase by phase. The change runs under control until operations are stable.
SUPPORT AFTER THE CUTOVER ENDS IN STABLE OPERATIONS
03
OPERATE

Operate.

“Our team has to master the environment, not the service provider.”

At the end you have two options. We hand over cleanly to your team, or we take on operations. Both are equally right for us, and which one fits is your call. Either way we work closely with your team rather than replacing it.

A clean handoverFully documented, with a recovery manual and training. Your team masters the environment.
Managed OperationsWe take operational responsibility for individual components: Proxmox VE, VMware, Hyper-V, backup and disaster recovery. We do not take on the first-level helpdesk.
Co-managed servicesWe work hand in hand with your operations team. The responsibility stays with you, the specialists come from us.
Monitoring in operations

AT EVERY STAGE: THE ORGANIZATION

The change in people's heads.

“The technology is the smaller problem. I have to bring thirty departments along.”

A technology change affects more people than servers. So we plan the organizational part as carefully as the technical one. Every wave has a fixed sequence, and everyone whose application is affected knows it beforehand.

Nobody is taken by surpriseEvery application owner knows the window, the way back and the sign-off criteria for their application. Before the wave, not after it.
One place sets the paceThe project office, made up of your people and ours. One address for decisions, dates and questions.
Knowledge travels with itYour team works alongside us from the start. On handover day it masters the environment.
ONE WAVE, BOTH SIDES
T − 14 DAYSApplication owner meeting. Dependencies, window, sign-off criteria.
T − 5 DAYSAnnouncement to the departments. What changes, what does not.
T = 0Cutover to the script. Owner reachable, way back ready.
T + 2 DAYSSign-off by the owner. Only then does the wave count as finished.
A FIXED PART OF THE WORKProject officeYour people and ours, from the first meeting to sign-off.
FROM PROCESS TO TECHNOLOGY

Three stages. Carried by four technical fields.

ADVISE · TRANSITION · OPERATE PLATFORM · STORAGE · CONNECTIVITY · FACILITY
WHAT WE COVER

From the hypervisor to the fiber.

Four technical fields that we master ourselves instead of coordinating them.

01 PlatformPROXMOX VE · VMWARE · HA · BACKUP · RESTART The layer your workloads run on, and the one that has to come back up after any incident, provably.
02 StorageSAN · NAS · ZFS · CEPH · GEO-REDUNDANCY Holding data, spreading it, getting it back: from local ZFS to a metro cluster across several sites.
03 ConnectivityFABRIC · EVPN · WAN · FIREWALL · DARK FIBER The paths between systems, zones and sites, down to our own fiber between data centers.
04 FacilityDATA CENTER · COOLING · POWER · CAMPUS What sits underneath: floor space, power, cooling and fire compartments. Without those, any availability promise is just a claim.
Four fields, one responsibility. The handovers between them are explicitly part of it. NOT A LIST OF INTERFACES

We are glad to stay after the project.
It is not assumed.

Whoever runs an environment stays technically current and sees the next decision coming early. That is why we offer operations. Whether you take it or your team takes over changes nothing about how carefully we finish the project.

ENTRY POINT

It starts with an analysis, not a quote.

A clear scope, a fixed price, and a result that holds even if you decide against us.
