Whether you're paying too much for cloud, struggling with scaling, or dealing with unstable infrastructure - I design and implement systems that are faster, cheaper, and easier to manage. I work with high-load production environments: clusters with 1000+ VMs, petabyte-scale storage, and fully automated infrastructure. What I can help you with: • Reduce cloud and infrastructure costs by 50–80% using Proxmox-based private cloud • Migrate from VMware, AWS, or other platforms to cost-efficient infrastructure • Build and optimize Ceph storage (RBD, CephFS, S3) for performance and reliability • Fix performance issues, instability, or scaling problems in existing clusters • Design HA architecture with backup and disaster recovery • Automate infrastructure using Puppet and provisioning pipelines Typical problems I solve: • Infrastructure costs are too high and keep growing • Cloud bills are unpredictable • Ceph clusters are slow, unstable, or constantly rebalancing • Proxmox clusters break, failover doesn’t work, or nodes drop • Backup systems are unreliable or too slow • Monitoring systems (Zabbix) overloaded and ineffective Why clients work with me: • 20+ years in enterprise infrastructure • 200+ real-world projects (not lab setups) • Experience with large-scale production systems • Focus on measurable results: cost reduction, stability, scalability Technologies I use: Proxmox VE, Ceph, Zabbix, Puppet, BGP, VPN, HA clusters, Backup & DR systems If your infrastructure is getting expensive, slow, or hard to manage — I can fix it or rebuild it properly.
