With many years supporting Linux and Unix servers, our team of friendly experts can provide remote or on-site assistance for all your needs. We have experience with most Unix flavours including:

• Solaris
• AIX
• HP-UX

Emergencies

If you have an emergency requirement for Unix support - for example if your server is down or you have a security breach - please call us at any time on (0845) 003 7235 or +44 7823 770827 which will route to our on-call engineers.

Depending on your location and whether we can remotely access your server, we aim to respond within two hours (usually immediate where travel is not required).

Please note that there is a call-out fee of £50 per issue, with our hourly rate starting at £60 per hour or part thereof.

Ongoing support

Virya Technologies provide round-the-clock monitoring of Unix servers, optimisation, patching and other administrative tasks, taking the stress out of managing your servers and the cost of having an in-house team. We can be as involved as you want us to be - a source to call on when you get problems or fully managing your servers on a day to day basis.

To find out how we can help your business manage your Linux servers, please call us on (0845) 003 7235 or (01473) 722858.

As you are probably aware by now, we were the subject of a distributed denial of service attack which commenced on the evening of Monday, 12th December 2012, targeted against the IP of our server. This article is hopefully an explanation of exactly what happened, a timeline of events, and what we are doing to prevent it happening again. We also hope it answers some questions you might have about the process we went through to recover the sites.

Our company server went down at midnight, we were looking for emergency out of hours support and Virya Technologies was there to help when no one else was answering.  Within 10 minutes an engineer was on the phone sorting it out.

We contacted Virya Technologies after being given 48 hours notice to resolve a spam issue on one of our servers.

We were approached by a company who had received an email from an individual suggesting that several areas of their ASP e-commerce website and Windows Server were vulnerable to attack, and provided details of how information from their database could be retreived by following certain processes.

Homogenous -

Management love homogeneous networks; they reduce the amount of training needed, the number of IT Technicians to offer support and, of course, offer an opportunity to obtain bulk discount through volume licensing.

But in pursuing lower capital and maintenance costs, are these same managers opening their networks to attack?
