Linux and SUSE support for St. Louis businesses

Problem: Small server rooms often run without enough warning when power, cooling, storage, or services begin to fail.

Approach: We deploy a local Nagios-based monitoring appliance with service checks, environmental alerts, and site-specific escalation rules.

Result: Faster response, fewer surprises, and a practical view of server, network, and facility health.

• Nagios
• Linux
• Sensors
• Alerts

Problem: Many small offices need simple, dependable file sharing, but Windows Server can add licensing cost, update disruption, and administration overhead.

Approach: We build Linux-based file servers with secure SMB shares, user/group permissions, snapshots, backups, monitoring, and optional VPN access.

Result: Lower recurring cost, fewer forced changes, strong uptime, and file sharing that works cleanly with Windows, macOS, and Linux clients.

• Linux
• Samba
• Snapshots
• Backups
• Monitoring

Problem: Backups that are not monitored or tested become a risk instead of a recovery plan.

Approach: We build local and offsite backup workflows with encryption, scheduled replication, monitoring, and restore checks.

Result: Clear recovery paths, lower licensing cost, and confidence that critical data can be restored.

• Linux
• Encryption
• Offsite Storage
• Monitoring

Problem: Many infrastructure needs do not justify a full server, cloud subscription, or proprietary appliance.

Approach: We package Linux services on compact hardware such as Raspberry Pi systems for monitoring, edge services, VPN, and automation.

Result: Lower cost, simple maintenance, and a device that does one job well.

• Raspberry Pi
• Linux
• Containers
• Automation

Problem: Security reviews are often occasional, manual, and disconnected from day-to-day operations.

Approach: We deploy Greenbone/OpenVAS in a managed container and tune scans for local systems, remote sites, and change windows.

Result: Regular vulnerability visibility without adding another black-box vendor platform.

• Greenbone
• OpenVAS
• Docker
• Reporting

Problem: Flat networks make it too easy for guest devices, workstations, servers, printers, and IoT equipment to affect each other.

Approach: We design segmented networks with firewall policy, VLANs, VPN access, guest isolation, monitoring, and documented recovery steps.

Result: Lower risk, cleaner troubleshooting, controlled remote access, and a network layout that can grow without becoming fragile.

• VLANs
• Firewalls
• WireGuard
• VPN
• Monitoring

Problem: WiFi problems often come from poor placement, unmanaged channels, weak roaming, or mixing trusted and untrusted devices on one network.

Approach: We plan access point placement, configure secure SSIDs, separate traffic with VLANs, tune coverage, and monitor access point health.

Result: Better coverage, fewer support calls, safer guest access, and wireless service that behaves like business infrastructure.

• UniFi
• Omada
• VLANs
• WPA3
• Guest WiFi
• Monitoring

Problem: Remote work and multi-site operations need access to internal services, but open ports and unmanaged remote tools create unnecessary risk.

Approach: We deploy VPN access with firewall rules, user controls, route planning, monitoring, and clear procedures for onboarding and removal.

Result: Safer remote access, fewer exposed services, and a supportable path for staff, contractors, and site-to-site connections.

• WireGuard
• OpenVPN
• Firewalls
• MFA
• Linux

Problem: Growing organizations need CRM, inventory, accounting, and workflow tools, but large proprietary suites can be expensive and rigid.

Approach: We help plan, deploy, customize, and support Odoo-based workflows around real operating requirements.

Result: Integrated business processes with room to adapt as the organization changes.

• Odoo
• PostgreSQL
• Linux
• Workflow

Problem: Many business websites carry CMS risk and maintenance burden without needing dynamic server-side features.

Approach: We build Hugo-based static sites with structured content, local preview, source control, and simple deployment.

Result: Faster pages, fewer moving parts, and easier long-term maintenance.

• Hugo
• Git
• Static Hosting
• TLS

Problem: Organizations still need controlled email discussion lists, but older list systems can be hard to maintain securely.

Approach: We deploy Mailman 3 with containers, DNS alignment, TLS, backups, and operational monitoring.

Result: Maintainable list service with modern administration and a documented support path.

• Mailman 3
• Docker
• DNS
• TLS

Problem: Many organizations need dependable email without giving up control of domains, filtering, retention, and server policy.

Approach: We deploy and support mail systems with SMTP, IMAP, spam filtering, TLS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, monitoring, backups, and documented DNS requirements.

Result: Reliable mail delivery, better domain reputation, stronger filtering, and a service that can be maintained without vendor lock-in.

• Postfix
• Dovecot
• Rspamd
• DKIM
• DMARC
• TLS
