Consulting Services
Enterprise AIX & Linux Consulting (Hourly)
PatTechLLC offers hourly consulting services focused on complex infrastructure challenges, operational reliability, and system design. This model provides flexibility and ensures effort is applied where it delivers the most value.
Areas of Expertise
Consulting engagements commonly include work in the following areas:
- AIX and Linux system architecture and administration
- High availability design and implementation
- Business continuity and disaster recovery planning
- Performance analysis and tuning
- System hardening and operational stability
- Infrastructure troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
- Documentation and operational handoff
Engagements may be advisory, hands-on, or a combination of both, depending on your needs.
What This Service Is (and Is Not)
This service is well suited for organizations that:
- Run production AIX or Linux environments
- Require experienced guidance on complex systems
- Need high availability or disaster recovery solutions
- Value documentation, clarity, and long-term stability
- Want to work directly with a senior consultant
This service is not a good fit for organizations that:
- Are looking for managed services or helpdesk-style support
- Require low-cost, junior-level resources
- Expect fixed “packages” without discovery or collaboration
How Pricing Works
- Services are billed hourly
- Pricing is influenced by:
- Complexity of the work
- Duration of the engagement
- Business-hours vs. emergency or after-hours support
- Emergency or rush work is available for a premium, subject to availability
Fixed-scope or fixed-price arrangements may be considered when requirements are clearly defined.
How We Begin
Every engagement starts with a conversation. We’ll discuss:
- The problem you’re trying to solve
- Your environment and constraints
- Timelines and urgency
- Whether PatTechLLC is the right fit for your needs
From there, we agree on scope, approach, and next steps.
Ongoing Support
Support does not end when the immediate issue is resolved. Ongoing assistance is available as needed, whether for follow-up work, additional improvements, or future projects.
