Three Fish specializes in systems and network administration for small to mid-sized companies. Our particular area of expertise is systems administration for eCommerce businesses. Our consultants have nearly twenty years of experience in Unix systems administration and were involved with now ubiquitous technologies such as GNU/Linux and the World Wide Web from their very beginnings and pioneered their use in online commerce. Three Fish consultants have the foundation of two local Internet Service Providers (ISPs), a network security auditing firm, a data warehousing company, and several successful online applications to their credit.
Three Fish believes that the hallmarks of superior systems and network administration are performance, resiliency, security, and efficiency. We endeavor to deliver solutions optimized for these qualities and engineered to best facilitate the organization’s business strategies.
