Our work with Linux always includes time-proven methodologies, skills and solutions that we collectively term

Intelligent Linux Infrastructure

This approach ensures platform consistency, manageability, security and enhanced performance for individual applications.

In the modern IT environment Linux has established an unquestionable reputation as a flexible and powerful platform. Where some organisations can struggle is in the efficient management of their Linux systems at scale.

Our Intelligent Linux Infrastructure approach combines our two decades of experience with up to date best practices and enterprise grade automated tooling. Our team has vast experience of all Linux distributions including Red Hat, SUSE, CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu and their various deployment scenarios.

When deploying projects our team can utilise automation and management toolsets to create Intelligent Linux environments that are readily managed and supported. Such techniques ensure the long term cost benefits of running Linux within an enterprise are fully achieved.  Our Securelinx teams can therefore readily:

  • Recommend a Linux distribution that meets your organisation’s needs.

  • Build, deploy and tailor that Linux OS for your environment.

  • Provide appropriate management frameworks for patching, monitoring and configuration deployment.

  • Enable monitoring and alerting based on system availability, capacity, and performance.

  • Integrate your Linux user accounts with wider enterprise directories such as Active Directory.

  • Provide in-depth analysis and assistance with common Linux based services such as Apache, Nginx, PHP, MySQL, Samba

  • Build and configure systems based on application or vendor specifications (eg for SAP or Oracle).

  • Advise on and implement security requirements to harden Linux systems.

The foundation of the Intelligent Linux Infrastructure is tooling which readily allows for repeated administrator tasks to be automated

Open Source software tools such as Ansible and Salt enable rapid and repeatable application of configurations to ensure consistency across all systems whether deployed on premise or in the cloud.

Vendor supported software solutions can further extend this capability to provide features such as provisioning, software patching, and subscription management, thus providing a comprehensive approach to managing Red Hat or SUSE Linux based servers.
