Kangarun Managed Open Source
Kangaroot Managed Services: Focus on Your Business, We’ll Manage the Tech
Unlock the Power of Open Source Without the Operational Burden.
In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, open-source technologies are the engine of innovation. However, as these systems grow in complexity, the "hidden cost" of maintenance—patching, scaling, and troubleshooting—can distract your team from their core mission.
Kangaroot Managed Services provides a "Boutique Managed Service" approach. Local, highly-skilled and specialised teams, using your tools and processes. That’s what makes the difference.
We take full ownership of your open-source stacks so your developers can focus on building value and your existing infrastructure team feels supported and reassured.

Are you facing these challenges?
-
A never-ending to-do list of patches & updates?
Are your updates & patches not applied in time? Is the timeslot you planned to patch always taken over by more urgent interventions? Is it hard to keep up with the fast-moving pace of these updates? Is it hard to tell if a patch is really necessary or can it be applied in the monthly run?
-
Is your team running off the tracks?
Too many different types of technologies to follow up? Are you tight on resources so holidays, illnesses, etc ... immediately impact planned work ? Is there not time to gradually build up knowledge and experience?
-
Compliance hard to keep up with?
Is the list of reports requested by auditors taking up time? Are the requirements slowing roll-outs down ? Would a clear infrastructure design and a list of actions taken in a certain period help you out?
-
Is managed really managed?
There's multiple offerings by cloud providers, software vendors etc ... but many of them call things "managed" even when there are parts left to cover by the customer or other parties. How do you know what is included and what's not? And can we build a service on top of these Cloud services that covers everything?
What can we do for you?
Open Source, Managed for you.
