IT infrastructure and security

Over the past decade, many companies have built their virtualization infrastructure on the VMware ESXi hypervisor, primarily due to the availability of the free edition. This allowed small and mid-sized organizations to establish a stable, high-performance environment for business applications without high licensing costs.

In many small and medium-sized businesses, the IT environment evolves organically, without a clear plan and long-term strategy. Different applications are used, inconsistent versions of office tools and antivirus solutions are in place, workstations are not standardized, and access to information systems is often arranged individually and without proper documentation.

When we talk about IT security, attention is often focused on the big, visible threats such as ransomware, server intrusions, and malicious code. This perspective creates the impression that security is addressed primarily at the infrastructure level, separate from users’ day-to-day work.

“I know someone who will fix it.” “A friend’s kid knows computers.” Those are the kinds of lines all of us who have been working in IT and IT support for companies for some time have heard. For a long time, the belief held that having someone who “knows about computers” was enough for business to run smoothly.

We are pleased to announce that Alarix has become part of the Humanfrog Group. With this step, we are combining the expertise and experience of both teams, reinforcing our position as a trusted partner in IT solutions.

I remember a Slovenian influencer complaining during a live stream: 'More technical issues again—is there really no company in Slovenia that knows how to solve this?' Such situations are not rare. The key issue is often a lack of understanding and the wrong choice of technology relative to the business model and user expectations.

Broadcom's acquisition of VMware has shaken the IT ecosystem globally and forced many infrastructure service providers to make a strategic choice: accept a drastic increase in licensing costs or carry out a comprehensive technology transformation in a very short time.

We have always adhered to the principle of delivering comprehensive and advanced digital solutions to businesses. Our decision to enter the MSP market was no coincidence. It was made possible by our strong technical foundation.
