Linux servers that stay up — without hiring a Linux team
Linux is where Rev2IT started and what we know best. We run, patch and monitor your Linux servers so your business gets reliable infrastructure and a 15-minute critical response — and stops depending on one overworked sysadmin.
In short
Rev2IT provides managed Linux services for South African businesses and MSPs. We monitor, patch and support RHEL, Ubuntu, Debian, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and SUSE servers around the clock, restart failed services automatically through R2 Central, and respond to critical incidents within 15 minutes. Linux is our specialty — it's where Rev2IT started.
Sound familiar?
Linux knowledge lives in one person's head
If they go on leave or resign, nobody else knows how the servers are built, patched or recovered.
Patching keeps getting postponed
Nobody wants to break production, so updates slip — and the security gap grows every month.
You hear about outages from your customers
Without proper monitoring, a full disk or crashed service is only noticed when someone complains.
End-of-life Linux is still in production
Servers on unsupported releases such as CentOS 7 no longer receive security fixes, but migrating feels risky.
How we solve it
We take day-to-day ownership of your Linux estate and make it predictable.
Monitoring and auto-healing, around the clock
R2 Central watches services, disks, memory and certificates and automatically restarts failed services — usually before your users notice.
Patching on a schedule you agree to
Updates are applied in planned windows, with automated patching on Professional plans, so security fixes stop piling up.
Standardised, documented builds
Servers are built and managed to a consistent standard, so your environment is supportable instead of a black box.
Safe migration off end-of-life systems
We plan and run moves to supported distributions — AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, RHEL or Ubuntu — with a rollback plan.

Which Linux distributions do you support?
RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Ubuntu, Debian and SUSE, along with Proxmox, Docker and LXC hosts and the common web and database stacks that run on them.
Do you only do Linux?
Linux is our specialty, but most businesses run a mix. We also manage Windows Servers, laptops and desktops, antivirus and backups — so you can have one provider and one SLA for the whole estate.
Do our servers have to be hosted with Rev2IT?
No. We manage servers where they already run — in your office, a data centre or with a cloud provider. We can also host them for you.
How quickly do you respond to problems?
Critical incidents have a 15-minute response time and high-priority issues a 1-hour response time. After-hours support is available 24/7/365.
Can you help us move off CentOS 7 or other end-of-life systems?
Yes. We assess what's running, choose a supported target (usually AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, RHEL or Ubuntu) and migrate with a tested rollback plan.
Do you work with other MSPs?
Yes. Many MSPs use us as their back-end Linux team, so they can offer Linux support to their clients without hiring specialists.
