Why Obmondo

Linux ops, on autopilot.

Your servers and Kubernetes clusters, managed predictably. Expense ceilings, shared maintenance, and 100% open-source delivery keep your bills capped and your stack free of vendor lock-in.

Our SREs run your infrastructure around the clock so your internal team doesn't have to — no on-call rotation to staff, no specialist hires, no firefighting that derails roadmaps.

The result: lower operating costs, fewer incidents, and engineers who can focus on the work that actually moves your product forward.

Small or tight budgets?

We make sure you won't exceed them

Obmondo offers several options like expense ceilings, flexible subscriptions, etc. to keep costs under your budget. We also share feature development costs between customers with similar requirements. Our discounts on subscriptions and cheap consultation rates keep the operating costs suitable for all budgets.

  • Expense Ceilings can be set for individual groups of your servers through our webapp.
  • The ceilings will be exceeded only in cases of alert handling or if they have been premediated.
  • Feature requests are delivered as open source to allow for improvements in future.
  • All work unless agreed otherwise, is delivered as open-source to facilitate zero vendor locking and cost-sharing.
  • Feature development costs are shared between customers with similar requirements.
  • Maintenance costs are shared between customers with similar setups
  • Response times as low as 1 hour with 24/7 coverage to ensure your systems keep running.
  • Subscriptions can be upgraded or downgraded for individual systems based on the required response times.

We collaborate with in-house teams

so they can prioritize business needs

Obmondo was founded on the idea of collaboration with in-house teams and open source developers to create a secure and robust Ops infrastructure for everyone. We collaborate with in-house teams on a daily basis to provide exceptional service to our customers. We act as a strong operational foundation so Ops teams can focus more on business needs.

  • Assigned TAM will be your direct point-of-contact and ensure your requirements are fulfilled.
  • Assigned TAM will know your infrastructure and coordinate with your teams.
  • Regular meetings with TAM to ensure transparency of tasks, adjustment of priorities, etc.
  • Alerts will be monitored 24/7 by Obmondo for all systems with subscriptions.
  • Alerts will be handled within the response times, if customer intervention is not required.
  • Time spent in resolution of alerts is usually covered under free consultation time included with subscriptions.
  • The rest of the time is charged under consultation.
  • Automated Notifications to assigned contacts for upcoming updates.
  • Incremental releases and exemptions to reduce risks and downtimes
  • We offer communication through Mattermost (an open source Slack alternative) and Email.

Maintaining an in-house team is hard enough

let us manage daily maintenance tasks

According to Asana's report, employees spend only 40% of the time productively. Combine that with high separation rates and employee turnover costs, and in-house quickly turns into an expensive affair. Obmondo offers a more cost effective solution by handling the tedious maintenance tasks for in-house teams, allowing them to utilize their productive time for handling important business needs.

  • Asana conducted surveys and interviews with over 10,000 knowledge workers in U.S., U.K., Germany, Australia, and Japan.
  • The results indicate that employees devote 60% of their time communicating about tasks, managing priorities, etc.
  • 27% of the time is dedicated to skilled work that employees have been hired and trained to do.
  • The rest is spent on strategic planning and forward looking analysis.
  • Obmondo only charges for time spent directly on your tasks.
  • Gallup’s analysis indicates that 48% of USA’s working population is actively job searching.
  • Gallup found it takes about 20% pay raise for an engaged employee to leave you.
  • Replacing a mid-level staff member can result in direct costs of up to 50%.
  • Total turnover costs can reach 150-200% of annual wages due to indirect costs like training and loss of productivity.
  • Obmondo can scale operational staff to fill in the gap in productivity due to leaving employees.
  • Obmondo handles maintenance tasks such as monitoring, alert handling, security updates, etc.
  • Obmondo also automates, follows ITIL processes, manages updates and their schedules, etc.
  • In-house teams are also notified about upcoming updates.
  • This helps in-house teams spend their time focusing on business needs.
  • Obmondo is more cost efficient as well since we minimize the time spent on standard tasks through automation.
