Stability-first infrastructure practice
Infrastructure that behaves.
Generic Service makes hybrid infrastructure boring, measurable, and recoverable for owner-led and mid-market teams across vSphere, Azure, and Linux.
After your request: intake checklist → scope review → written next-step plan.
Every project moves from stabilizing the baseline to automating the routine.
Built for owner-led teams.
We work best with technical teams who need to stabilize their environment without handing over the keys.
- ✓Teams running hybrid vSphere + Azure with visible drift
- ✓Operators who need evidence that recovery paths work
- ✓Leaders who need a scoped plan before committing to change
Who we are not for
- ✕24/7 managed services or helpdesk coverage
- ✕Emergency break-fix without root-cause analysis
- ✕Hardware resale or licensing-only procurement
How we work
A short, repeatable process designed for low-risk change.
Step 1
Discovery & goals
Define the outcome, constraints, and risk surface.
Step 2
Current-state assessment
Map dependencies, drift, and operational gaps.
Step 3
Plan with options
Provide clear tradeoffs and phased implementation paths.
Step 4
Implementation
Execute in small, reversible steps with validation.
Step 5
Validation
Restore testing, cutover checks, and stability verification.
Step 6
Handoff
Docs, diagrams, and runbooks you can actually use.
Outcomes you can feel in operations.
The goal isn't more tooling. It's control, predictability, and a team that can operate without heroics.
Fewer outages, fewer surprises
Stabilize vSphere and hybrid dependencies so core systems behave predictably.
Restores you can prove
Backup architecture plus restore testing so recovery is measured, not assumed.
Security enforced by default
Hardening, identity guardrails, and access hygiene built into the baseline.
Infrastructure you can operate
Idempotent automation, clear runbooks, and documented ownership boundaries.
Focused services, real-world delivery.
Project-led work for teams that need stability now and a clear modernization path.
Hybrid infrastructure modernization
Stabilize vSphere, standardize patterns, and build a reversible path to Azure.
Azure foundations
CAF-aligned guardrails, networking, identity, and cost controls without ceremony.
Backup & recovery architecture
Veeam-centered design, immutability strategy, and restore runbooks.
Proof that matters to operators.
No fake logos. Just evidence-based delivery and documented outcomes.
Landing zone guardrails
Azure foundations aligned to Microsoft CAF landing zone design principles.
Immutable recovery
Veeam immutability options plus restore testing to validate recovery paths.
Operational handoff
Runbooks, decision logs, and ownership boundaries you can operate.
Field snapshots (anonymized)
Restore evidence
Sandbox restores validated with RPO/RTO notes and updated runbooks.
Migration reversibility
Cutover plans include rollback paths by wave and dependency maps.
Drift cleanup
Baselines rebuilt, time sources standardized, access tiers aligned.
From the Notes
Short field notes on stability, migration risk, and measurable recovery.

Let's talk about stability.
Generic Service helps teams across vSphere, Azure, and Linux environments. Request a scoping call to discuss your current drift and recovery concerns.
Expectations
- ✓Written scope review before any work begins
- ✓Evidence-based findings and reversible plans
- ✓Direct senior architect communication
Start with a clear operational baseline.
The Infrastructure Health Check clarifies drift, risk, and the next best step for teams who have outgrown "it mostly works."
