Comtrends provides complete technical consulting solutions for your business. Regardless of your needs, our technical staff can solve your problems and build a technical infrastructure that supports your core business.

Our staff at your site, anywhere in the world. Our engineers all hold valid passports, and can travel anywhere you need them. Are you in Africa and in need of technical help? Do other consulting firms refuse to send staff to help you? Our engineers have been there, and have no problem getting a visa and hopping on a plane to work directly with you. If a plane ticket is outside your project's budget, we'll work with you over the Internet.

Never fear, Comtrends is here to help. We've worked with all sorts of companies all over the world. No project is too big or too small for us- we take as much pride in a ten-minute fix over the phone as we do a twelve month overseas project.

Need subcontractors? Are you a software or hardware integrator that needs on-site break/fix or setup help? Or are you another consulting company that needs extra help? Our engineers are available to help in a subcontracting role. Both VA Linux Systems and the Linux General Store resold our services to their customers under their own company names.

What can Comtrends to for you?

Linux Support:

Oracle Database Systems If your database administrators need help setting up new systems for Oracle, we can help. We have experience in setting up Oracle Real Application Clusters using Red Hat Enterprise Server. We'll get your servers built and configured so your DBAs can come in and start installing Oracle RAC.

Linux server support Is your company moving to Linux? Do you already run Linux, but need advice or help with your servers? Our certified Linux engineers can help. Red Hat, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, SuSE, Gentoo, CentOS- we've worked with all of them.

Comtrends engineers are LPI certified on the Linux operating system (LPIC-1 and LPIC-2).

VA Linux Systems called on Comtrends engineers to provide rebranded technical services to several large customers needing design and implementation work. Our engineers helped design and build large server clusters for web and email services.

North Avenue Technologies used Comtrends consultants to troubleshoot production server problems at a major northeastern US bank. Our engineers were able to resolve the problem to the customer's satisfaction while minimizing downtime of a critical resource.

ISP Solutions:

Supernet 300 employed Comtrends to design and implement a wireless business and residential ISP in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Abuja, Nigeria. Comtrends engineers worked on site and remotely to get Supernet 300 online and ready to serve customers and continued to provide ongoing support through their first two years of operations. Hybrid Networks, the manufacturer of the wireless broadband equipment used at Supernet, recently won a Wemmie award from the Wireless Communications Association in recognition of this sucessful installation. Comtrends is proud to have worked with Hybrid and Supernet as the primary system integrator on this project.

Monroe Utilities offers Internet service through their cable television network to customers in Monroe, Georgia. When their cable modem equipment vendor Hybrid Networks went bankrupt, Monroe Utilities turned to Comtrends to provide support for their headend equipment. Our engineers worked on site to keep their old Hybrid equipment operational while they migrated to a new system.

Oracom Communications, a startup ISP in Lagos, Nigeria, used Comtrends consulting services to help put together its business and technical plans. When government policies toward wireless Internet providers suddenly changed, Comtrends quickly modified the business and technical plans to reflect the new environment. Using our plans, Oracom successfully won licenses to offer wireless Internet services in four states in 2003.

Linux General Store used Comtrends consultants to build a network and servers to support a wireless network rollout in Atlanta, GA. To keep costs down, our engineers re-used LGS's old servers and built a reliable Debian Linux-based network for LGS.

E-Access, Inc called on Comtrends consultants to move their ISP infrastructure away from a failing Windows NT system to a solid, scalable Linux-based solution.
