We help businesses escape SaaS lock-in and build self-hosted, open-source infrastructure — Linux, DevOps, and security support at SMB-friendly prices.
You pay monthly. Prices rise. Your most sensitive business data lives on a foreign server — governed by someone else's terms. Here's what that actually costs you.
Per-seat pricing grows with your team. Feature gates push you to higher tiers. The bill that started at $150/mo becomes $850/mo before anyone notices.
Proprietary data formats, API dependencies, and migration friction make leaving expensive. That's not a side effect — it's the product.
When your files live on AWS, Google, or Microsoft, they're subject to CLOUD Act subpoenas and terms you didn't write — regardless of where your business operates.
GDPR and POPIA require knowing where each byte lives. A vendor's compliance dashboard is not evidence. An audit trail on your own server is.
From bare-metal Linux to automated workflows — we deploy, secure, and maintain your stack end-to-end. Everything self-hosted, everything yours.
Server provisioning, hardening, high-availability clustering, and virtualisation with KVM/Proxmox. We speak Debian, RHEL, and Ubuntu fluently.
Infrastructure as Code with Ansible. Container orchestration with Docker and Kubernetes. CI/CD pipelines that deploy, test, and ship with zero drama.
Migrate workloads from AWS, Azure, or GCP to cost-optimised self-hosted or hybrid environments. Keep what makes sense in the cloud, own the rest.
Linux server hardening, Wazuh SIEM deployment, vulnerability scanning, firewall configuration, and VPN setup. POPIA-aligned security posture by default.
Deploy and maintain self-hosted business applications — collaboration suites, CRM, LMS, and backup solutions. From lightweight mail setups to full enterprise infrastructure with LDAP and SSO.
24/7 infrastructure monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana dashboards, and structured log pipelines — always know what's happening before your users do.
We deploy n8n on your own infrastructure and build the automation workflows your business actually needs — connecting your tools, eliminating repetitive tasks, keeping everything under your control.
Replace fragmented business tools with a single self-hosted Odoo deployment — CRM, accounting, inventory, HR, project management, and e-commerce in one place.
We audit your environment — security posture, costs, and risk exposure — and deliver a prioritised report with a clear action plan, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and DR procedures.
We hand you root access at the end. This is your infrastructure — we just build and protect it.
We review your current setup, pain points, and goals. Free, no-obligation discovery call.
We build open-source solutions on your bare metal server or cloud VM — customised for you.
You get full root access and documented runbooks. You own it entirely — no strings.
Ongoing monitoring, patching, and incident response at a fixed monthly fee. What's covered →
A fraction of what you pay in software licenses — with full support from a human who knows your stack.
Essential monitoring and security patching for small teams running stable infrastructure.
Full-coverage support with rapid incident response for growing businesses that can't afford downtime.
A dedicated infrastructure architect for organisations with complex, mission-critical requirements.

Every time you store a file in Dropbox or a contact in Salesforce, that data crosses into a jurisdiction you didn't choose — governed by a privacy policy you didn't write.
Run your servers in your country, your data centre, or your own office rack.
No third-party engineers, no vendor support staff, no shadow access.
Produce compliance evidence for GDPR, POPIA, or any framework without relying on a vendor's export tool.

I built Hanshala Tech because I've seen too many businesses trapped — paying
escalating SaaS bills, locked into vendor contracts, and running on infrastructure
nobody fully understands or documents.
Open-source changes that equation entirely. But technology alone isn't enough —
you need a team that treats your infrastructure like their own.
When something needs attention, you'll speak to the same engineer who built it,
not a ticket queue. No shortcuts. No lock-in. No surprises on the invoice.
