Infrastructure

Infrastructure: systems, networks, databases and monitoring

We help IT departments make their technical foundation more reliable and evolve it: systems, networks, virtualisation, storage, databases, security and monitoring, on-premises or hybrid, as projects or by reinforcing their teams.

Your technical foundation runs your applications, your data flows and your teams' work every day. We help you make it clear, reliable and suited to your production constraints, and strengthen your teams when needed.

What we do

  • Systems and networks: administration, access and environment management, on-premises or hybrid architectures.
  • Virtualisation and storage: evolving platforms and preparing the environments your projects need.
  • Databases: administration of Oracle and PostgreSQL databases, performance, upgrades and operations.
  • Security: building security requirements into architecture and operations, segmentation and environment protection.
  • Monitoring: a clear view of your infrastructure's health and the events to handle.
  • Hybrid environments: the right fit between your servers and the cloud, together with our Cloud & DevOps expertise.

We also step in when infrastructure blocks other projects: modernising an application, automating deployments, security or providing environments. Our teams then work with our Development & Solutions expertise.

Typical situations

Strengthening a systems and networks team. A workload peak, a transition to secure, a team short of time for production: our consultants fit into your organisation, tools and standards.

Finding an Oracle or PostgreSQL DBA. Day-to-day administration, upgrades, an environment change or incident analysis: we reinforce you on your databases.

Making monitoring useful. Many companies have monitoring tools without getting a view they can act on. We surface the right signals and share indicators that both technical teams and business owners understand.

Making on-premises and cloud coexist. We prepare the foundations before a migration and adapt operations practices to a hybrid environment.

Unblocking a transformation project. A rebuild, a security project or an architecture change often depends on infrastructure prerequisites. We provide the technical framework that lets you move forward.

Our approach

1. Scoping with an expert. A free 30-minute first conversation to understand your technical context, your teams, the urgency and the kind of support you expect: project, reinforcement or recruitment.

2. Delivery. We step in with the right model, without adding a needless layer to your organisation.

3. Operations. Your contacts stay the same from scoping to go-live. On infrastructure topics, this continuity avoids information loss and secures technical decisions.

Engagement models

  • Fixed-price projects: structuring monitoring, evolving an architecture, preparing a hybrid environment.
  • IT staffing: system and network administrators, Oracle and PostgreSQL DBAs, infrastructure profiles supporting production or projects. See our open jobs.
  • Recruitment when you want to bring a skill in-house.
  • Service centre in Morocco for maintenance and changes to application environments.

For corrective and evolutive maintenance, we can also rely on our service centre in Morocco, run by our subsidiary: French-speaking consultants, a minimal time difference, workstations provided and managed by Abalsia, secure VPN connections to your systems, centrally managed workstation security (antivirus, EDR) and data protection equivalent to the GDPR. According to our figures, this model costs 30 to 40% less than development carried out in France, at equal quality. To find out more, see our IT staffing & Nearshore page.

With a free 30-minute first conversation with an expert, to clarify the context, the scope and the right way to step in.

Can you also work on the cloud or on applications?

Yes. When infrastructure is tied to a cloud or application project, we bring in our Cloud & DevOps and Development & Solutions expertise.
