What new requirements and challenges arise for open source?
Many companies rely on open source to reduce costs and become more independent. However, operating it is more demanding than expected: maintenance, updates, and hardening require expertise that is often lacking internally – and security vulnerabilities arise precisely where no one is looking.
Key challenges and
how we solve them
Lack of internal expertise
Open source has been implemented, but operations and responsibilities are not clearly defined.
How we help
We take over managed service operations with clear SLAs and 24/7 monitoring.
Uncertainty in technology selection
Too many options, too little guidance—decisions become a risk.
How we help
We provide technology-neutral advice and recommend the solution that fits your requirements and your operations.
Migration from proprietary systems
Replacing them is complex—without a clear plan, outages and rollback costs are a risk.
How we help
Structured migrations with parallel operations, defined test phases, and fallback scenarios.
Security concerns in operations and maintenance
Unclear responsibilities for updates and vulnerabilities increase risk—often unnoticed.
How we help
Consistent operations with patch management, hardening, and continuous monitoring.
What do we do?
We plan, implement, and operate open-source solutions as a managed service – from monitoring and CMDB to virtualization and container platforms. We rely on proven technologies and deliver reliable operation with enterprise SLAs.
