Systems Engineering

We provide two things to our customers: expertise and advice on all aspects of Unix Systems Administration and the most knowledgeable systems administrators in the business.

We've spent over a decade working with customers on customer sites and designing tools and techniques that define the cutting edge of systems administration and infrastructure management.

Genio Unix Consultants have built a business on providing Unix resources in a fast, friendly, and flexible manner. We believe each of our Unix systems administrators should be able to handle a wide variety of problems, products, and projects at every skill level.

Our Unix systems administrators can assist you in every phase of your work. We can help you assess your environment, giving you a better understanding of where you are and what you have to work with.

We have a track record of achieving solid business results fast. We work closely with you the customer to understand your business goals and translate them into clearly defined technology objectives. We then help you to move quickly through the project life cycle to plan, implement and manage the best IT infrastructure for your business.

We can design new architectures or re-design existing infrastructures. We can deploy new technology, and we can provide the hands and minds necessary to keep it running at peak efficiency.

Our consultants can offer a wide variety of support and administration contracts ranging from single per incident projects to enterprise class administration (including Sun Microsystem Entry level, Midrange and High End SPARC Servers). As well as Dell Enterprise Class Systems. 

We are knowledgeable with all of the popular Linux distributions including: RedHat, Debian, SuSE, Slackware and Ubuntu.

Our consultants are flexible about time commitments, sending out our systems administrators for only as long as their services are required.
