Keeping your Linux environment in top condition: it sounds simple, but in practice it's often a complex, time-consuming and critical part of your IT. It's no wonder then that more and more organisations are asking themselves: “How can I outsource Linux administration to a specialist who knows what they're doing?‘
The good news? You can. And without worries and without hassle.
Why would you outsource Linux administration?
Linux is robust, scalable, and favoured by developers and IT teams. However, managing it is no trivial task. It demands in-depth knowledge, daily monitoring, and swift action when issues arise. Especially with business-critical applications, you don't want to be experimenting – you want certainty.
Organisations choose to outsource Linux management because they:
- Shortage of internal knowledge or capacity experienced
- Continuity and safety security guarantees
- Time and focus willen vasthouden aan hun kernactiviteiten
- Rust in their head and their IT search
And that's precisely what USN delivers.
Outsourcing Linux management involves entrusting the administration, maintenance, and support of your Linux systems to an external company or team of specialists.
When outsourcing Linux administration, you hand over (part of) the technical maintenance, monitoring, and problem-solving capabilities to a specialised party.
Think about:
- 24/7 monitoring of your Linux systems
- Security updates, patches, and performance tuning
- Scalable solutions through virtualisation and containers
- Back-up, restore and failover scenarios
- Support for complex incidents or migrations
At USN, we've been doing this since we started – for organisations with five servers to companies with thousands of Linux machines. And not just in the Netherlands, but worldwide.
