What would you need to know if the ordinary things of life started mutating at a fast pace around you: plants, animals, people, society, language; if reality or evolution was put on “fast-forward”?
IT in the Internet and AI Age is this accelerated reality. Millions of brains collaborating and competing in the pursuit of beneficial change, or for an edge over rivals. Each contributing to "chaos" but each also paradoxically depending on, and consolidating the bedrock of technologies on which the edifice stands.
You want the systems you use to stand on this ground. What you want to know and build your IT upon is this foundation, namely, the Unix/Linux open-source ecosystem and open standards.
The learning curve is steep, but things work, scale well, and maintenance costs are very low.* Everything that runs on a server is done better using them: file and print sharing, domain controller/active directory, backups, firewall, networking, virtualization, containers, clusters, mail, VPN, multi-WAN aggregation, remote monitoring and maintenance, network intrusion prevention, databases, web-sites, and web-based or cloud applications, etc.
This is what we bring: 20+ years of experience, a safer and more stable infrastructure, and hundreds of thousands of dollars saved in maintenance and license costs.
