System administration for Linux, Unix and complex IT environments
What does our system administration service involve?
IT environments evolve over the years. Different operating systems, applications, servers, networks and user management systems must work together reliably.
Our system administration services cover the operation, integration and further development of existing IT systems. In doing so, we look not only at individual servers or applications, but at the interplay of the entire IT landscape.
Software Factory supports companies with system administration, integration and the further development of complex IT environments.
Whether it’s Linux, Unix, Windows or heterogeneous IT environments: we help to ensure that systems are operated reliably, integrated effectively and developed further over the long term.
- Why Software Factory?
Extensive experience in systems engineering
Tailor-made solutions
Heterogeneous systems
Automation
Long-term partnership
We support IT systems not only during their implementation, but also during their maintenance, operation and further development.
- Structured IT operations
System administration in practice
System administration for Linux, Unix and heterogeneous IT environments
We support organisations with the administration and integration of Linux, Unix and Windows systems, as well as complex client/server environments.
These include, among others:
- Linux and Unix System Administration
- heterogeneous Linux, Unix and Windows environments
- Client–server systems and applications
- User and Authorisation Management
- Directory services and authentication
- Network and System Integration
- Monitoring, fault analysis, and maintenance and servicing
We work with you to review recurring administrative tasks and identify where processes can be usefully simplified or standardised.
Integrating and further developing IT systems
Complex IT systems rarely operate in isolation. Applications, servers, user management systems and other systems must be reliably interconnected.
We analyse existing IT environments and provide support with the integration of different systems and interfaces. Our focus is not on replacing existing systems at any cost.
Our aim is to understand existing IT structures, develop them further in a meaningful way and modernise them where there is a tangible benefit.
Long-term support for your IT systems
An IT environment is never fully complete. Systems are expanded, applications change and new requirements arise.
That is why we provide support not only with the implementation or integration of systems, but also with day-to-day IT operations, maintenance, support, fault analysis and further development.
This ensures that existing systems remain usable in the long term and can be adapted to new technical and organisational requirements.
- System administration throughout its entire life cycle.
From analysis to long-term operation
01 – Analysis
We analyse your existing IT infrastructure, identify dependencies and highlight opportunities for optimisation.
02 – Conceptualisation
03 – Implementation
We install, configure and integrate the necessary systems and components.
04 – Automation
Recurring administrative processes are standardised and – where appropriate – automated.
05 – Operation & Optimisation
- Engineering meets software development
System administration and software development from a single source
Software Factory combines system administration and IT operations with bespoke software development.
This is particularly useful when existing systems need to be integrated, expanded or supplemented with bespoke applications. As well as providing support for IT systems, we can also develop bespoke software solutions and interfaces where required.
When is it advisable to seek external support for system administration?
External support may be useful if in-house IT resources are insufficient, specialist knowledge of Linux or Unix systems is required, or complex systems and applications need to be integrated and further developed.
We support companies in areas where additional experience and technical expertise are required for the operation, integration or further development of their IT infrastructure.

- Questions / Answers
General questions about system administration
Does Software Factory support Linux systems?
Yes. Linux has long been one of Software Factory’s key areas of technological focus. We provide support with the planning, installation, administration, integration and further development of Linux systems.
Does Software Factory also support Unix systems?
Yes. We have experience with Unix systems and their integration into heterogeneous IT environments.
Can Linux, Unix and Windows be run together?
Yes. The integration of heterogeneous system environments is precisely one of our areas of expertise. This involves, amongst other things, integrating directory services, authentication, networks and applications.
Does Software Factory provide support with system administration?
Yes. Our range of services extends from analysis and design, through to installation and configuration, right through to maintenance, servicing and long-term support.
Can administrative processes be automated?
Yes. We analyse recurring administrative procedures and assess which processes can be standardised and automated.
Does Software Factory also support existing IT environments?
Yes. Existing systems are often a key part of a company’s IT infrastructure. We analyse existing structures and work with you to develop practical ways to optimise and further develop them.
Does Software Factory also develop bespoke software?
Yes. As a software development partner, we can develop bespoke applications and integrations when off-the-shelf solutions are not sufficient.
