Automation-first • Senior engineers

Stable Linux operations — without hiring a full-time team

SideQube keeps your Linux estate secure and stable with proactive maintenance, safe patching, and automation — so your team can focus on building, not firefighting. We work during agreed business hours (with optional extended availability by arrangement) and provide clear reporting with predictable costs.

Designed to scale What we manage

Scheduled health checks & patching with standards and automation (not “best effort”).

Incident help when things break — fast triage, root-cause analysis, and prevention (within agreed coverage).

Continuity & ownership — documented environments, automation, and a small trusted team (no single point of failure).

What SideQube is — and isn’t

Clear expectations upfront helps everyone: you get predictable outcomes, and we stay focused on high-impact engineering work.

We are

Engineering-led Linux operations: proactive maintenance, safe patching, hardening, automation, and senior troubleshooting. We collaborate with your team and keep a prioritized improvements backlog.

Designed for startups & SMEs who want stability without growing an internal ops team.

We aren’t

A traditional 24/7 NOC or helpdesk. We don’t promise constant live monitoring or instant overnight response by default. If after-hours coverage is required, we scope it explicitly as an add-on.

This keeps costs predictable and expectations crystal clear.

How it works

A simple, repeatable onboarding process designed for speed and safety.

1

Discovery

30 minutes to understand your platform, critical services, risk tolerance, and current pain points.

2

Secure Access

Least-privilege access model, SSH key policies, and a safe path for emergency escalation.

3

Onboarding

Health checks and alerting integration, baselines, patch plan, backup review—plus documentation so your environment isn’t “tribal knowledge”.

4

Operate & Improve

We keep things stable, respond to incidents, and maintain a small improvements backlog month to month.

Our Team

SideQube is an infrastructure company built by senior engineers. We operate with shared standards, strong documentation, and continuity by design.

Senior engineering

We are a group of trusted Linux and infrastructure engineers. This keeps quality high, response fast, and communication direct.

No ticket factory. No junior-only support. Just accountable delivery.

Continuity & coverage

Each client has a primary engineer, but environments are documented and standardized so the team can provide coverage when needed. This reduces key-person risk and improves reliability.

Built for long-term operations, not one-off heroics.

FAQ

Straight answers to the questions we hear most often.

Do you provide 24/7 support?

By default, SideQube operates during agreed business hours with clear response windows and an escalation path. If you require after-hours coverage, we can scope it separately as an add-on (so SLAs and costs are explicit).

Which Linux distributions do you support?

We typically support Ubuntu/Debian and RHEL-based systems (e.g., Rocky/Alma). If you have a mixed environment, we’ll confirm scope during discovery.

How do you access our servers securely?

We use SSH key-based access, least-privilege permissions, and an agreed access model (VPN/jump host supported). We aim for audit-friendly, documented access patterns.

Can you take over an existing messy setup?

Yes. We prioritize stabilization first (visibility, backups, high-risk gaps), then standardize with automation over time.

Do you manage application code and CI/CD?

Our focus is Linux infrastructure operations and reliability. We can collaborate with your developers and provide guidance, but we don’t position ourselves as a software delivery team.

Designed to scale with you

Built for growing and evolving infrastructures — without artificial limits.

What this means

  • No limits on server, VM, or node count
  • Single-site or multi-site environments
  • Cloud, on‑prem, and hybrid infrastructures

How we scope work

  • Based on operational complexity
  • Based on criticality and risk
  • Based on outcomes — not raw system count

As your infrastructure grows, the engagement evolves with you — without forcing plan changes, pricing cliffs, or artificial thresholds.
