Common goals

We always consider one thing very important: the satisfaction of our customers.

But how do you achieve satisfied customers:
The very first thing is to listen carefully. An analysis of the actual situation forms an important basis for this.

On the basis of our customers' wishes, we develop problem-solving proposals, which are then refined in further discussions with the customers.
We also consider it a decisive advantage that many sub-areas are handled in-house. This keeps communication channels short and fast and costs low. For example, web design and photo design work/product photography usually go hand in hand. Thus, adjustments and further development are possible quickly and easily.

In the area of our services we go into more detail about the different areas of our service spectrum.

Our strong partners

You often hear “everything from a single source“, but what can really come from a single source?
Whereas, as an example, outsourcing has been written large everywhere for years.

With our core competencies, we provide a solid basis for a solution to the problem, which should cover all needs and thus be all-encompassing and holistic.

But you can't do everything yourself, right?
That's exactly why we have strong partners and products at our side, which we have selected carefully and for the long term.

HP MicroServer Gen8: Boot TrueNAS from an SSD on the ODD Port using a GRUB USB Bootloader

A common issue appears when you want to move away from booting TrueNAS from a USB flash drive and instead use a proper small SSD. The MicroServer Gen8 has an internal SATA connector at the top of the chassis. This port was originally intended for an optical DVD drive. It is commonly called the ODD port and is mechanically very convenient for installing a small 2.5-inch SATA SSD.

10-Gigabit Network: The Windows Side – Problems and Solutions

A 10 Gigabit network sounds simple on paper: install a suitable network card, connect an SFP+ module or DAC cable, attach it to the switch, install the driver – done. In practice, however, the weak point is often not the server, the NAS, or the switch. The real problem can be the Windows client. In my case, the 10 Gigabit link basically worked. The switch was stable, TrueNAS was able to deliver 10 Gbit/s, and the cabling was not the issue. Still, the Windows side showed instability, system freezes, and uncertainty around the network card being used. In the end, the solution was a different card, targeted cooling, and proper temperature monitoring.

10G Home Network for PC and NAS: An affordable way to get started with fiber-optic technology

Anyone who works with NAS, video editing, or large project files is familiar with the problem: your home network can quickly become a bottleneck. In my case, my PC and TrueNAS were reliably connected at 1 Gbps—but with transfer speeds of around 110 MB/s, things quickly came to a standstill when dealing with large files. So the question arose: Is it possible to implement a 10G upgrade at home in a cost-effective and practical way?
