Services
This page showcases a collection of tools and services that we provide. Would you like to know whether we can help you out with some exotic protocol that is not listed here? Feel free to drop us a line or fill in the contact form.
Architecture and Design
Design
Building networks and systems from scratch. We can help you in all phases of designing networks for you or your customers; defining prerequisites, gathering requirements, defining necessary solutions, and creating the design
Transitions
Existing systems and networks are continuously improved an renewed. Whether you need advice or (technical) assistance in transitioning from the current to a future situation; you are at the right address with BitFlows
Insights
Lost track of an ever growing IT landscape? We can help you get a grip on what is where, and gain insights in how everything is tied together, providing clear and readable designs that can be shared both internally and externally
Consultancy
For any requests regarding (sub)optimal configurations, advice on best practices, research/innovation, and new technologies within your organisation; we give advice tailored to your needs, while being aware of the context.
Networking
Switching
Connecting different devices on the same Local Area Network (LAN), utilising protocols such as NAC, STP and protocols for neighbour discovery
VLAN
A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) creates a virtual boundary that can be used to provide security, scalability, and network management
Routing
In essence, this entails ensuring end-to-end connectivity between (local) networks, including protocols such as OSPF and EIGRP
BGP
The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) defines how different networks - so called Autonomous Systems (AS) - can communicate with each other
QOS
Protocols like Quality of Service (QoS), and techniques such as shaping and policing are used to optimise and ensure good user experience
Next Gen
Next generation companies require new ways of working, including cutting-edge technologies such as SD-WAN, VX-LAN, MPLS and overlays
Firewalls
Defining and maintaining zones and rules, filtering, logging, MFA and VPN in order to keep networks operational and secure
Network Access Control (NAC)
Limiting access for unknown devices to network assets - the proper way - utilising PNAC and MACSEC (L2 encryption)
Monitoring
Gain insights in metrics like delay, througput and jitter in order to keep systems performant and operational, including necessary alerting
Infrastructure
Hypervisors
Setting op a (cluster of) hypervisors to manage Virtual Machines (VMs); familiar with vendors like VMware/ESXi, Xen and Hyper-V
Virtualization
Creation, maintenance and troubleshooting of problems with Virtual Machines; knowledge of VMware, Vagrant, Xen and Hyper-V
Containerization
Packing applications and libraries with Docker or LXC/LXD, including management and orchestration with Kubernetes or DockerSwarm
High Availability
Using proxies and load balancers like Nginx, HAProxy and Keepalived in order to distribute load and manage failovers in case of outages
Infrastructure as Code (IAC)
Easily build and manage infrastructures by declaring configurations of systems centrally instead of configuring them manually
VPN
Creating secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) solutions that allow remotely located devices to access local resources
Colo
Setting up a backup location, physically separated from the main site; providing redundancy in case of outages
Hardening
Creating and reviewing hardening baselines, policies and settings; making sure systems and infrastructure are robust and secured
Monitoring
Keep an eye on resources, for example disk utilisation, CPU and RAM usage, uptime and logging with the ELK stack, OpenNMS and more
Hosting
Private Servers
Setting up, managing and maintaining dedicated and Virtual Private Servers (VPS), allowing you to run applications or a website
Domains
We take care of domain registrations and (auto) renewal for a variety of Top Level Domain (TLD) extensions.
Web hosting
Offering solutions for (managed) hosting - including WordPress hosting; you can focus on creating websites while we take care of the rest
DNS(SEC)
Need a hand in setting and configuring those tedious DNS records, or validating, recursive, caching resolvers and authoritative servers?
Managing and configuring mail solutions for businesses, using platforms like Google Workspace and Office365
SSL
We provide help with setting up and managing SSL certificates; both with open source solutions like Let's Encrypt as well as payed options
Data Science
Data
Collecting and cleaning data in order to be able to perform analysis. Prepare data to be use in machine learning algorithms.
Dashboards
Perform analysis based on gathered data to predict and make business critical decisions with tools like the ELK stack and Grafana
Machine Learning
Compare various machine learning algorithms and tweak parameters to achieve well performing models for your decision making processes
Development
Scripting
Using languages like bash and PowerShell in order to automate tasks. Familiar with configuration formats like JSON, ini, YAML and XML.
Applications
Writing applications in the languages Python and PHP. Basic knowledge, but genuine interest in other languages like C# and C++.
