What we do
From a single server or office network to a mixed environment, we help small businesses keep technology dependable and understandable.
Support for IBM i, IBM Power, Linux and Windows environments, including administration, maintenance, troubleshooting and infrastructure planning.
Design, deployment and support for UniFi networks, including connectivity, Wi-Fi, cameras, storage, PBX and VPN solutions.
Practical help with virtualization, storage and on-prem infrastructure using Proxmox, TrueNAS SCALE and other technologies.
Support for business databases, including administration, maintenance, troubleshooting, migrations and performance-focused infrastructure planning.
Technology stack
Small businesses rarely have one technology. We work across the stack and focus on making the pieces work together.
Experience matters
Technology changes constantly. The fundamentals don't: understand the environment, find the real problem, make a sensible plan, and leave things better documented than you found them.
The Old IT Guy is focused on practical infrastructure support for small companies that don't need a huge IT department—but do need someone who understands what is happening under the hood.
