Cloud specialists since the 1990s

Cloud infrastructure that is robust and hassle-free.

We deploy and operate the infrastructure your applications need on AWS: networks, servers, storage and databases. Available on demand, billed on usage, and you stay in control.

AWS Cloud

Your servers in the best data centres on the planet. With Alto Infra and Amazon Web Services, you stay in control of your infrastructure.

Expertise that goes back well before the year 2000. Yes, we have been working on servers since the Web began!

Services

Everything you need to live in the Cloud

Whether you are migrating your current systems or deploying new applications, we make IT management simple.

Fully managed Cloud

A complete offering that adapts to your needs.

  • Migration and consolidation of your applications
  • Operations: backups, monitoring, security updates
  • Cost optimization, especially outside production
  • Full or partial management of your AWS account

High availability

Your Web applications available 24/7, even during an outage or an update.

  • A second server takes over with no interruption
  • In another data centre, at least 2 km from the first
  • Load balancer and redundant database (RDS)

Backups

What matters is not the backup, it is getting your data back.

  • One copy a day, kept 7 days + 4 weeks + 6 months
  • Daily snapshots to rebuild after a disaster
  • ZFS snapshots for an instant rollback
  • In Montréal, in Virginia or in any AWS Region

Serious monitoring

On from day one, to track how your infrastructure evolves and alert you to the slightest change.

  • Metrics every 10 seconds: CPU, memory, disks
  • Web dashboard for your production servers
  • Over a year of history to follow trends

High performance computing

Compute clusters (HPC) deployed for your actual needs, then shut down when you no longer need them.

  • Small ready-to-use cluster
  • Cluster connected to your license server
  • Full cluster with a job scheduler

Your applications

Whatever your Web application, or nearly, we deploy a well-structured infrastructure for your users.

  • Redmine, Jira, Confluence, Odoo
  • Custom PHP or Java applications
  • Environments started and stopped on your schedule

Approach

The lowest risk, at every step

Each application is isolated in its own infrastructure, and each infrastructure is split by environment. No work is done in production before it is finished in staging.

Your development and staging environments are not used 24/7: why pay for them 100% of the time? In the Cloud, we start and stop them on your work schedule.

DEV

Development

Where your developers build and test.

STG

Staging

Where we confirm the application works, and how it will behave in production.

PRD

Production

Where your users work every day.

Technologies

What we actually use

No name dropping: these are the technologies we use to run our clients' servers every day, often for years.

AWS

The world's Cloud leader since 2006. Over 140 services to pick the right tool for each job.

Linux

The most mature, versatile and secure system for enterprise servers.

ZFS

Snapshots in under a second, to roll back instantly after an update.

Open source

Standard, open solutions: you stay free to choose your vendors.

About

Quality over quantity

If you need a server repaired, you have come to the wrong place. If you want to replace it with a Cloud service, you are in good hands.

Our services focus on deploying and operating Cloud infrastructure. We love best practices: separate environments, standardized installations, and no bad surprises in production.

Alto Infra will not send you tickets to a hockey game. But you will be able to enjoy the game without worrying about your IT, because we keep a close eye on it for you.

We have worked in IT since the 1990s with mid-size and large clients. Over the years, we have deployed and operated many infrastructures, including at:

Support

The best support possible

We answer quickly, but long before that, we have prepared the ground: support starts with well-built, standardized installations. The same methodology for every installation means fewer risks from manual configuration.
