Open Fusion offers services in two main areas:

Linux® systems support and consulting

Open Fusion provide ongoing system administration and support contracts on existing Linux systems or on systems we build, providing the following services:

timely installation of vendor-released update and errata packages
local system monitoring (e.g. disk space, logs and log rotation, users and system usage, process monitoring, etc.)
remote server and service monitoring (are your public/external services working?)
backup monitoring
routine troubleshooting and problem resolution

We offer a couple of different packages for maintaining 1-2 servers, depending on your requirements:

Standard: 1-2 servers, $450/month + $225 setup fee; system monitoring during business hours only; additional work charged at our standard rates, $125/hour
Premium: 1-2 servers, $900/month + $225 setup fee; 24x7 server monitoring; additional security monitoring, including host-based intrusion detection; additional work charged at a discounted rate, $110/hour

Support also available for much larger installations, of course. Quoted rates exclude GST.

Open Fusion also offers general Linux consulting services across system installations and upgrades, server configuration, performance tuning, and security audits.

Please email info@openfusion.com.au for further details.

Web development and support

Open Fusion's web development services cover everything from simple static "brochure" websites through to powerful database-backed e-commerce sites and flexible intranet content-management systems. We offer page-based pricing for small sites, and either hourly or fixed-price estimates for larger projects.

Areas of particular expertise include:

database-backed websites
content management systems
intranet architecture and information design
website security testing

Our preferred web development environment is Perl on apache, but we also do development using PHP, Ruby on Rails, and Python.

Open Fusion also provides ongoing maintenance and support contracts covering existing websites. Outsourcing these services is often an excellent way of achieving a high-quality and proactive web presence without the overhead of fulltime web resources.

Please email info@openfusion.com.au for a no-obligation discussion of your requirements.
