EXPERTISE · PLATFORMS & OPERATIONS

Production deserves
constant attention.

Monitoring, observability, backups, disaster recovery and managed services: we keep your services up and running.

WHY IT’S CRITICAL

When a branch goes down, an employee calls. When a digital service goes down, the customer leaves without a word.

We make your services observable and we run them. Not just “is the server responding?”, but “is the service working for the customer?”: response times, error rates, availability.

As managed services, we commit to service levels that are defined and tracked together.

THE CHALLENGES

What we
often hear.

Blind monitoring

You discover the outage when a customer complains.

Backups that are never tested

The backup exists; the restore has never been checked.

Fragmented network access

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What we’re
often asked.

Can you take over the operation of an existing system?

Yes, after a reversibility phase: inventory, documentation, onboarding into monitoring, then a gradual transfer of responsibilities.

What service commitments do you offer?

They are defined with you according to the criticality of each service: coverage hours, response and restoration times, reporting.

Do you use your own tools?

We favour proven open-source tools and adapt to your existing tooling where it is already in place.
