Service & Support

Business Service & Support
for Linux and Open Source

We take care of your Linux infrastructure

We provide business services and support for Linux and a broad portfolio of open source applications. Our Linux specialists don't care which data center your infrastructure runs in, whether it's hosted by us, how large the environment is, or how many users work on it. We charge simply and efficiently on a time and material basis.

With our "Service & Support" models, we are the extended arm of your IT or development department. We help you with all your Linux and Open Source needs, from consulting, installation, optimization, scripting or troubleshooting to migration or operation, including monitoring and backup. We can provide 5x12, 7x8 or 7x12 systems engineering and Linux operations on demand.

You get access to our chat system where you can easily report problems and requests in a dedicated room. If we are proactively supporting your infrastructure, we will also announce maintenance work there. This way, all colleagues involved are always informed.

In short: Just ask if we can help you with your requirements and discuss the scope and limits.

  • Are you an IT Service Provider (ITSP)?
    We would like to support you. Ask about our special terms and conditions for IT service providers.

  • Are you a non-profit/NGO?
    Ask about our service model for NGOs.

  • Are you a software development company?
    We provide secure and highly available Linux operations and technical support for web and database servers, allowing you to focus on your core competencies.

  • You rarely need help, or only need it once, with no commitment?
    No problem, that's possible too. The model is called "Best Effort" and comes with no SLA and no contract. Without a service model, the hourly rate is CHF 240. If you choose a service model, you benefit from a Service Level Agreement (SLA) and a significantly lower hourly rate.
