Our Tech

We work with all sorts of vendors in client environments. For our own infrastructure, our common baseline looks like this:

• Hosting
  • We primarily run a Proxmox stack with a Ceph storage backend.
• Networking
  • We are very much into UniFi, but we also use other vendors depending on client needs.
• Storage
  • Synology NAS
  • Ceph backend for live data
  • Backblaze B2 and Synology C2 for cloud backup
• VoIP
  • UniFi Talk (where it fits), for tighter integration with the UniFi ecosystem.
• Security, CCTV, and access control
  • UniFi Protect and UniFi Access, for the benefits of end-to-end integration.
