Job/consulting role for mostly Linux server based organisation

Hi folks I've contacted a couple of you directly that I've had direct dealings with before but I thought I'd post here also. For quite some time now (5+ years) we've looked after an organisation in a support role mostly comprising of emergency support and occasional maintenance for their servers and with methods of connecting to these servers. It's time for us to pass on the torch as our arts practice is now the primary focus and we're looking primarily for an individual or small friendly consultancy to take the role over. There are 3 main Debian based servers running virtualised in a dual redundant Xen Advanced Edition server setup, and 1 Debian based VPN/backup server. The servers run mail, VPN, webmail, database hosting, file sharing, various other services. They have approximately 15-20 users in house and several roaming crews that remote in. The setup carries a fair amount of legacy from earlier periods and needs to continue in this manner to suit the needs of the organisation. The organisation also functions like a family and this suits primarily personal care which is why we recommend either a single person or small organisation to take it on. They've been very good to us for many years and it's been hard to let go of this contract because of that. If you think this sounds like you and you have strong social skills suitable for the task at hand, please contact me directly and I'd be happy to talk it through with you. Many thanks Jesse Stevens Cake Industries www.cake.net.au 03 8060 5248

Hi Jesse, I'd love to talk to you about this job. I look after several small firms, accountants, lawyers etc and like to think that I become part of their business to some extent. One of my clients is in the process of moving on (an new partner is bringing in a new IT firm, you get that) so I'd be interested in someone else to look at. If that's of any interest, give me a call. If not, thanks for posting here anyway. Thank you Peter Nunn. On Fri, 22 Feb 2013 06:16:45 PM Jesse Stevens wrote:
