tummy.com Linux and Open Source Consulting

We're Linux Consultants. We solve Linux problems.

As System Administrators and Developers we know Linux inside and out, from the kernel to drivers, from Web databases to firewalls. With extensive experience in Python, qmail, Security, and Network Administration, we bring real world answers to your data center.

Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, tummy.com has experienced, reliable, friendly Linux experts ready to help you solve your Linux problems.

Linux Managed Hosting

In response to requests from many of our clients, we offer Managed Hosting, in both Dedicated (single-client, single server) and virtual private server (multiple clients, each with full root access virtual servers, on a single server box) configurations.

Managed Hosting lets you have the benefit of a team of experienced SysAdmins maintaining your Linux server at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time team.

In addition, the Managed Hosting servers are in a high reliability 5-9s facility, with redundant power, cooling and Internet.

Linux Email Servers

Messaging security has grown to be the number one concern for most of our clients. We're all inundated with an unreasonable number of unwanted email messages from thousands of senders across the internet.

We have developed a series of techniques for reducing the number of unwanted email messages that make it into your e-mailbox. vPostMaster is our free for non-commercial use, Postfix Linux email server solution, which implements the best of those anti-spam techologies.

Case Studies

ISP System Administration

A 20,000 user ISP relies on us for tertiary sysadmin of their Linux Qmail email and Apache web servers. We have increased uptime, and increased reliability of their servers.

Several smaller ISPs use us for secondary SysAdmin. They have staff on-hand to answer user questions, and if there is a problem, they call us to diagnose and fix it. We do everything from initial setup of email servers to RADIUS and firewall configuration.

Custom Linux Distribution Development

A large storage company, faced with a tight deadline, chose us to develop a stripped-down version of Linux for embedding in a storage server solution. We delivered the distribution early, and on budget.

Testimonials

• We really appreciate the expertise, availability, and wonderful personality of your staff. Working with Kevin, Sean, and Scott has been a pleasure. Tummy.com easily scores first place of all consulting firms I have ever worked with. - Ferdinand Schmid, Architectural Energy
• I love working with you guys. You have great, prompt customer service. - Gord
• Glyph Lefkowitz of Divmod "Thanks a lot. Your service has been so incredible that most days I don't even remember there are people over there :)"
• Doug Beethe "Superb service"
• Dennis Cooper The folks at tummy.com have always made me feel like I was their only customer. The service and support are unmatched. In a market that wants to reduce business relationships to debits / credits, tummy.com is a breath of fresh air. I wish you much success.
• Peter Hartley Yesterday, after many hours of hair pulling as I continued to NOT fix my problems with qmail (nothing wrong with qmail - just that I was looking for an unusually complex utilization of it.) I called on tummy.com for help.
  They talked my language. They were quick to grasp what I wanted to achieve. They were quick to help me achieve it. Just a few hours later we were, as they say, "back in business" with a considerably more sophisticated solution that I had expected.
  In short - they did the job and did it well - including documentation - and they did it quickly and affordable.
  I heartily commend tummy.com to anyone looking for a qmail solution.
• Justin Long I also appreciate the speed and high-quality of work that tummy.com has always delivered to us. I've had many companies that I've dealt with over the Internet, but only one other company (doing graphic design for us) has ever matched the level of service that tummy.com has provided. I consistently recommend you to other people and hope they give you their business.
