Technical depth. Broad experience.
From busbar concepts in the data centre to air-gapped CI/CD pipelines: we know the layers that interlock in legacy IT landscapes.
FlixConsulting covers data centre and facility, network and security, DCIM, automation, cloud and virtualisation, IT service management, compliance and AI-assisted operations documentation. This experience comes from work in IT infrastructure since 2014, with projects in the public sector, in critical infrastructure (KRITIS), in banking and for data centre operators. The fields interlock, from planning to operations.
