Support Overview

At Open Query, we believe that it's wiser to help before trouble occurs, and to prevent it.

  • You really can't prevent servers from failing in some way, in the end they all do. But you can make your infrastructure more resilient, and this mainly requires smarts and expertise, not a massive budget, or components with an "enterprise" label which actually does not even mean they are suitable for your particular needs,
  • Knowledge and skills. Through our training courses, and knowledge transfer during consulting and support engagements, we help you learn to help yourself more. We don't keep secrets. If you want to become a guru in this realm, that's cool with us.
  • Let us assist you throughout your design, development, deployment and maintenance phases. We charge sensible rates as we value ongoing engagements and appreciate that the economy has not been kind to all. Let us help you relax, when you trust that a failure is not an emergency.

Or in the words of legendary aviatrix Amelia Aerhart: to worry is to add another hazard.
