System administration & complex IT operations

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.

Extensive experience in systems engineering

We combine many years’ experience in Linux, Unix and Windows environments with modern system administration and software development.

Tailor-made solutions

We do not rely on off-the-shelf solutions when your requirements call for a bespoke solution.

Heterogeneous systems

We understand the challenges posed by different operating systems, networks, applications and directory services.

Automation

We minimise manual processes and create reproducible, efficient workflows.

Long-term partnership

We support IT systems not only during their implementation, but also during their maintenance, operation and further development.

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:

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.

From analysis to long-term operation

01 – Analysis

We analyse your existing IT infrastructure, identify dependencies and highlight opportunities for optimisation.

02 – Conceptualisation

Together, we will develop a technical and organisational framework of objectives for your system administration.

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

Even after implementation, we provide support with maintenance, fault analysis, further development and optimisation of your systems.

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.

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.

Yes. We have experience with Unix systems and their integration into heterogeneous IT environments.

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.

Yes. Our range of services extends from analysis and design, through to installation and configuration, right through to maintenance, servicing and long-term support.

Yes. We analyse recurring administrative procedures and assess which processes can be standardised and automated.

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.

Yes. As a software development partner, we can develop bespoke applications and integrations when off-the-shelf solutions are not sufficient.
