02 · Systems engineering & infrastructure
Infrastructure that runs, and stays up to date.
Windows servers, Active Directory, virtualisation, virtual desktops, backups: as system engineers, we run and evolve your production infrastructure within planned maintenance windows, with no surprises for your users.
Day rate, full-time or part-time, or a fixed-price assignment (migration, bringing documentation up to date). On site in Belgium or remote.
Who it is for
Servers kept up to date, stable virtualisation, backups that actually restore.
Banks, credit institutions, SMEs and IT teams that need a system engineer to reinforce them: day-to-day operations, a migration or taking over a poorly documented environment.
Production infrastructure rarely fails all at once: it erodes. A postponed patch, a backup never restored, a server nobody documented, an alert nobody reads any more. Our job is to put these basic routines back on a steady rhythm.
From 2021 to 2023, we ran the production infrastructure of a credit institution of a large banking group: virtual desktops, Windows servers, storage, monitoring, monthly patching and maintenance scheduled off-hours. We bring the same discipline to your environment: document, automate, test.
02 · Systems
Our areas.
- 01
Windows Server and Active Directory
Server installation and maintenance, GPO, DNS, DHCP, accounts and groups. A clean directory and servers that can be rebuilt identically from documented builds.
- 02
Virtualisation
VMware vSphere, Hyper-V, Nutanix or Proxmox: capacity, templates, host updates and workload migrations with as little downtime as possible.
- 03
Virtual desktops
Citrix VDI platforms: master images, published applications, capacity and scheduled updates, without users feeling the impact.
- 04
Storage and backups
Veeam backups following the 3-2-1-1-0 rule, offline copies, regular restore tests and a documented recovery plan.
- 05
Monitoring and patching
PRTG monitoring with alerts that matter, monthly patch cycles, maintenance windows and planned off-hours interventions.
- 06
Microsoft 365, Azure and automation
Microsoft 365 and Azure administration, PowerShell scripts, Ansible deployments, server and directory migrations. What repeats gets automated and documented.

Frequently asked questions
Before you write to us.
01 Can you take over a poorly documented environment?
Yes, that is often where it starts: an inventory of servers and dependencies, documented builds, then a prioritised remediation plan. Day-to-day operations carry on in the meantime.
02 Do you work during maintenance windows?
Yes. Patches, host updates and migrations are planned with your teams, off-hours when needed, with a rollback plan for every intervention.
03 How does this differ from your cybersecurity expertise?
Systems engineering keeps production running; cybersecurity protects it. The two overlap on patching, Active Directory and backups, and can be combined in a single assignment.
04 Are you available now?
We are currently on assignment. Write to us about an upcoming need: we reply with a realistic availability date.
A need that fits no box?
Write to us anyway. If we are not the right people, we will tell you and point you in the right direction.
