San Diego's open Mac OS and Linux support.

We specialize in home, small business, and enterprise Mac OS X & Linux support. We love what we do and enjoy providing a useful service. We even provide limited free consulting to charter schools and non profits. Have a new xserve and need guidance or help setting it up? Talk to us. Need advise on an IT related solution? We are the people to talk to. Our group of technical professionals have worked for school districts and companies with shoestring budgets. We feel your pain. Some consultants may try to persuade you with inappropriate services for your business. We will give you sound advice based on over a decade of experience. We can setup and configure Mac OS, Linux and Windows services. Yes, we prefer Macs, but we will not hesitate to tell you if a Linux, Windows, or other solution is the best tool for your needs. We share our knowledge freely through this site. Many of the technologies and solutions we deploy are documented in HOWTO's on this site. We understand that some people do not have the time or the interest to learn all this geeky stuff. That is why we provide our services for a very reasonable price.

Some of our specific specialties include.

Backup, disaster and recovery - From developing a policy and procedure to implementation. Using commercial and free tools we have developed and implemented small and large scale backup solutions. Set and forget backups for desktops and servers. Simple to manage. We try to avoid proprietary solutions that tie you in to a product. Future proof your data with open standards that are platform agnostic. Disaster/recovery plans. Offsite backup.

Server setups - We can setup and support all the services provided in Mac OS X server. We can also setup many of the common services under Mac OS X or Linux including MySQL, PHP, DNS, DHCP, SAMBA, FTP, Apache, SSH, NFS, CUPS, Zimbra, Untangle, RedHat IPA, FreeIPA, and EasyIDS.

Desktop support - We support networks with hundreds of Mac and Windows users. We are well versed in problems corporate and educational institutions have with dozens of software packages.

Documentation and procedures - We can help you develop, write, and implement IT policies and procedures. These are one of the most important steps in any IT infrastructure. Many laws and contracts require these. Do you have a server that somebody setup and no one knows what to do if it breaks? We document all of our work in detail so this won't be a problem for you later. This can save countless hours of labour and costs later on.

Training - We can help you develop or refine procedures for tasks that are computer related. Need to know how to make a small and fast powerpoint presentation? Want different methods of organizing your email and files? Want to streamline your workflow? We can help you.
