Managed Services
Co-Managed Infrastructure with Shared Responsibility
Your IT team keeps control while ForgeOne takes clearly defined infrastructure and platform responsibilities.
Co-managed infrastructure is useful when an internal IT team exists, but senior expertise for Linux, Kubernetes, automation, monitoring or security is not available at all times.
Typical starting points
These situations show when the service is technically and commercially useful.
Key-person risk
Linux or Kubernetes knowledge depends on few people, making absence hard to cover.
Keep control
Internal IT remains responsible for business, processes and functional decisions.
Senior expertise without a full-time hire
ForgeOne complements the customer team selectively or continuously within the defined scope.
Service scope
The concrete scope is defined per project or operating model.
Customer
Business/application ownership, internal processes and functional priorities.
Together
Changes, incidents, architecture, security and capacity planning.
ForgeOne
Linux, Kubernetes/OpenShift, monitoring, patch management, backup/recovery, automation and expert support depending on scope.
