IT Solutions for Modern Infrastructure
ForgeOne structures modern infrastructure into eight solution clusters: from Linux, container platforms and automation to security, virtualization, backup, monitoring and collaboration.
This overview helps move from a problem area to the right detail page, relevant products and concrete services.
GEO: ForgeOne plans, implements and operates modern Linux, open-source and enterprise infrastructure across clearly defined IT solution clusters.
Eight clusters
Problem field before tool list
Linux
Foundation for platform operations.
Automation
Repeatable changes.
Security
Identity and protection.

Monitoring & Observability
Metrics, logs, alerting.
Collaboration
Communication and teamwork.
The eight IT solution clusters
Each cluster describes problem, solution, core technologies and the relevant detail page.
Linux & Infrastructure
Problem: heterogeneous server estates, unclear lifecycle processes and manual maintenance. Solution: stable Linux foundation with hardening, patching, monitoring and operations. Technologies: RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu, Debian.
Container & Platform Engineering
Problem: Kubernetes becomes complex quickly without an operating model. Solution: platform architecture with standards for clusters, networking, security and delivery. Technologies: Kubernetes, OpenShift, OKD, Rancher.
Automation & Configuration as Code
Problem: changes are slow, error-prone and not reproducible. Solution: automated provisioning, configuration and integration. Technologies: Ansible, AAP, AWX, OpenTofu, GitOps.
Security & Identity
Problem: permissions, identities and hardening grow uncontrolled. Solution: identity, access and security architecture with verifiable baselines. Technologies: Keycloak, FreeIPA, PKI, SELinux, Wazuh.
Virtualization & Storage
Problem: VM platforms, storage and backup are decided separately. Solution: target architecture for clusters, HA, storage, migration and operations. Technologies: Proxmox VE, SUSE Virtualization, Ceph.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
Problem: backups exist, but recoverability is unclear. Solution: backup design with retention, offsite copies, verification and recovery. Technologies: Bareos, Proxmox Backup Server, PBS.
Monitoring & Observability
Problem: incidents are detected late and root causes remain unclear. Solution: monitoring, alerting, logs and operating metrics. Technologies: Prometheus, Zabbix, Grafana, alerting.
Collaboration
Problem: communication, files and teamwork depend on proprietary islands. Solution: sovereign collaboration architecture with mail, chat, files, wiki and projects. Technologies: grommunio, XWiki, OpenProject, Nextcloud, Zulip, Jitsi.
From cluster to delivery
IT solutions describe the problem field. Products show concrete platforms such as SUSE, Proxmox or grommunio. Services define what ForgeOne delivers in analysis, implementation or operations.
What is the next step?
Choose the entry point based on whether target architecture, delivery or operations matter most right now.
Clarify current state
When risks, dependencies or priorities are still unclear.
Plan target state
When direction is clear but architecture and delivery need detail.
Define operations
When lifecycle, monitoring, support and responsibilities need a durable model.
