Server Management
Linux server configuration, backups and monitoring with defined ownership and recovery procedures.
Illustrative photograph
I help businesses understand and maintain the infrastructure behind their applications. Scope can include Linux configuration, application deployment, backup routines, access controls and monitoring.
Server management starts with the current workload and recovery needs. We identify the infrastructure owner, the maintenance window and the response arrangements before making operational changes.

FAQ
Common questions.
Does management include around-the-clock incident response?
Only if a separate agreement explicitly defines coverage, response expectations and escalation contacts.
Are backups enough on their own?
A useful backup arrangement also needs retention rules, access controls and a tested restoration procedure.
Can you manage my existing server?
A review establishes access, system condition and whether the environment can be supported safely.
Who owns the hosting accounts?
Your business retains account ownership and billing. Access is granted for the work required.

Planning your project
Plan your server management engagement
Choose this service when backups, updates, permissions or alerts lack a clear owner. A server review can precede an ongoing maintenance arrangement.
Is this the right service?
Choose this service when backups, updates, permissions or alerts lack a clear owner. A server review can precede an ongoing maintenance arrangement.
What to prepare
Provide an infrastructure inventory, access through approved accounts, maintenance constraints and recovery priorities. Identify any external providers responsible for part of the environment.
Handover and ongoing work
Receive the configuration record, monitoring contacts and restore procedure. Recurring maintenance and incident coverage are separately agreed rather than implied.
