Business infrastructure
Keep your systems working together.
Practical help with business servers, networks, firewalls and virtual environments, with attention to how each part supports your work.
Discuss your systems
Understand the problem before changing the system
A connectivity issue may begin at a workstation, a firewall or a server. I help investigate how the pieces fit together, explain what I find and identify sensible next steps. The aim is to address the underlying issue and make the system easier to work with.
Server and virtualization support
I work with Windows, Linux and Mac environments, including servers and endpoints. I can help with server configuration, troubleshooting, virtual machines and changes to existing infrastructure.
If you are replacing equipment or changing how a system is hosted, we can review the current setup, its dependencies and the work involved before moving forward.
Networking and firewalls
- Connectivity troubleshooting: Investigate unreliable connections and communication problems between systems.
- Network configuration: Help with the connections and settings your business relies on.
- Firewall configuration: Review access needs and work through rules and configuration issues.
- Infrastructure planning: Consider how proposed changes will affect the systems already in place.
Experience with demanding environments
My work has included setting up an environment to support CMMC requirements for a company serving the U.S. Department of Defense. That experience informs a careful approach to system configuration and access.
Part of an ongoing support relationship
Infrastructure work often connects with everyday computer support. I can help with both, so you can discuss a recurring workstation problem and a planned server change with the same person. Remote support and evening on-site appointments are available, with scheduling agreed around the work.
Let’s talk about what you need.
Describe your current setup, the issue you are seeing or the change you are planning.
