Embracing Integrity: Transparency, Freedom from Vendor Lock-In, and Enduring Business-Partnerships
Here are just a few ways we differ from other companies: Our infrastructure design makes it very easy to migrate to another hosting company. All pricing is negotiable. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we allowed delayed invoice payments for up to one year without interest and proactively offered discounts of up to 50% to clients facing financial difficulties - without them needing to ask for it.
Blunix is dedicated to being a haven for Linux enthusiasts rather than a profit-driven entity. It's about enjoying the work we do with Linux and valuing the time we spend on it, not just the figures in our bank account.
We avoid repetitive tasks that lead to unnecessary charges for our customers. We employ automation, configuration management and AI tools in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness in every project.
Our approach ensures you're never tied down. We intentionally crafted our hosting stack in a way that makes it easy to migrate your infrastructure to another Linux consulting service if you are unhappy with our service. We aim for enduring business partnerships - happy customers stay by choice, not obligation.
Our consultants are afforded ample free time to explore and experiment with new technologies. We commit to offering our customers only those technologies that we have comprehensively understood, evaluated for stability, and personally deemed to be of high-quality.
At the heart of creating outstanding products are engagement, professionalism, and a genuine passion for the work we do. Treating every team member fairly and ensuring a good work-life balance is our formula for ensuring the highest quality output from our employees.
Errors are human, not machine. We embrace this reality by never hiding mistakes from our customers, choosing instead to address any issues directly and promptly. Our commitment to reliability is underscored by our use of a trusted backup solution.
We concentrate on what we excel at and hence do not sell Windows, closed source software, or any products outside our expertise. When a technology falls beyond our focus, we refer prospective customers to other companies that are experts in that area. This specialization ensures our service remains at the top-tier within our industry sector.
There is no room for experimentation in production environments. We only utilize software that meets our standards for stability and reliability, ensuring peak performance and minimal downtime for your operations.
At Blunix GmbH, we only hire Linux consultants with extensive experience and expertise. Skip the first level support queue - whether your question is straightforward or intricate, SLA customers always talk directly to their assigned Linux Consultant.
Our commitment to Linux Administration stems from a genuine love for Linux. We work in Linux consulting and hosting because it excites us; the joy of creating, automating, and solving technical challenges is our true motivation. Our priority lies in enhancing customer experience and ensuring a fulfilling work environment for our team, rather than solely focusing on profit.
