Comprehensive Linux Consulting & Support, Tailored for You
Linux Server Management
We provide end-to-end management for your Linux servers, whether they’re on-premise, in a datacenter, or in the cloud. From monitoring performance to applying security patches and optimizing configurations, we ensure your systems run smoothly. Our expertise spans popular distributions like Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), Fedora, OpenSUSE, Arch, Gentoo, and even Amazon Linux in AWS.
Clustering, Failover & Data Backup
High availability is critical for business continuity. We design and implement Linux server clusters with failover mechanisms to ensure uninterrupted operations, even during hardware failures. Our robust data backup solutions protect your critical information, giving you peace of mind in any scenario.
Cloud Migrations (To & From the Cloud)
Linux powers most of the cloud, but the cloud isn’t always the right fit for every workload. We specialize in migrating Linux workloads both to and from the cloud, helping you optimize for cost and performance. Whether you’re moving to AWS or bringing systems back in-house to reduce expenses, we ensure a seamless transition with minimal downtime.
Special Projects: GPU Servers for AI
Linux is the ideal platform for innovative projects, and we’re passionate about bringing your ideas to life. We can build GPU servers from scratch to run local AI models, leveraging Linux’s flexibility to create high-performance environments for machine learning and data processing. Let’s turn your vision into reality.
Legacy System Support
Older Linux versions can be a challenge, but we’re here to help. We manage and secure legacy systems running on outdated distributions, ensuring they remain operational and protected. Whether it’s an old Debian setup or a vintage CentOS server, we keep your legacy systems running smoothly.
Virtualization Systems
We design, implement, and manage virtualization systems on Linux, supporting platforms like VMware, XenServer, and Proxmox. Whether you’re consolidating servers or building a scalable virtual environment, we ensure your virtualization setup is efficient, secure, and tailored to your needs.
DevOps Platforms
Modern development demands modern tools. We design and manage DevOps platforms on Linux, including Kubernetes, Docker, GitLab, Ansible, Terraform, and Packer. From automating deployments to orchestrating containers, we help your development teams work faster and more efficiently.
BSD Support
While not technically Linux, we’re also skilled in BSD systems—a close cousin in the open-source world. If your organization relies on BSD for specific workloads, we can provide the same level of expert management and support, ensuring your systems are secure and optimized.

We're a Different Kind of Managed Services Provider
Most MSPs say they’re different, but let’s be honest — most of them look the same. At SKYROOT, we don’t just claim to be different; we prove it every day. Here’s what sets us apart.
Personalized, Boutique-Level Service
We’re a small, tight-knit team — not a giant call center. That means you get fast, personalized support from experts who actually know your business. When you call, you’ll talk to your dedicated vCIO, and not a new junior technician every time.
True 24x7x365 Cybersecurity Protection
Unlike many competitors who just monitor alerts during business hours, we provide real, human-powered cybersecurity around the clock. Our security operations centre (SOC) actively investigates threats in real time and responds immediately, keeping your business secure day and night.
Passionate Technologists, Not Just IT Guys
Technology isn’t just our job — it’s our passion. With over 100 years of combined experience, our team is second to none. We stay ahead of the curve so you can leverage the best IT solutions without the guesswork.
