What we do

  • Remote production ops — Stabilization, migrations, hardening, mail/VoIP/app stacks. Named senior engineer on the box.
  • Network design — BGP, switching, and the glue that keeps client-scale platforms honest. Scoped like real network work.
  • Retainers that use hours — Able Retainer ($799/mo, 8 hours) for ongoing production work; larger / multi-person retainers when the scope needs a team conversation.
  • Able Rescue ($199) — emergency service hours: round-the-clock, hands-on response when production is down. Call or email first; pay the initial two hours in parallel; buy more time after if needed.
  • Houston DC fit-out — Build infrastructure inside an existing building: racks, networking, internet/circuit from scratch. Houston on-site available depending on schedule — planned around your building and circuit.
  • Able Watch ($99/mo) — 24/7 monitoring and alerts on HTTP, SSH and SSL for the hosts you list. When something needs hands-on work, emergency service hours (Rescue) get a person on it around the clock.

Who this is for

  • MSP / colo teams that need overflow senior capacity without a full-time hire.
  • Mid-market IT with production that cannot wait for Monday.
  • Houston facilities that need a competent ops partner for on-site infrastructure inside an existing shell.
