IT consulting · Solution architecture · Level 3 support
Your infrastructure, reliable and under control. From audit to go-live.
Infrastructure, virtualisation, cloud, audit, hardware, development: MSSC takes ownership of your project, from the initial assessment to go-live, on site or remotely.
Situations
Does one of these situations sound familiar?
Your infrastructure is ageing or becoming fragile.
Hosts out of support, backups never tested, no recovery plan. Every outage costs more than the last. You want an honest assessment and a plan to secure things without shutting everything down.
A cloud project or migration to secure.
Moving to Azure or Microsoft 365, going hybrid with OVHcloud, changing hypervisor. You need someone who has already designed and deployed this kind of architecture, and who frames the project before costs drift.
An incident or after-sales issue getting out of hand.
A critical incident keeps coming back, a customer is losing patience, and your support team lacks the level 3 expertise to settle it. You need an expert who diagnoses, fixes and leaves procedures behind.
Level 3 troubleshooting
When production breaks, I dig down to the root cause.
Ten years in the field on systems that must not stop. What counts is not the title on the business card, it is the closed incident and the procedure left behind.
- Observe. Logs, metrics, network captures. We look at what the system does, not what we think it does.
- Reproduce. A failure you can trigger is a failure half solved.
- Isolate. Layer by layer: hardware, hypervisor, OS, network, application, integration.
- Fix the root cause. No workaround that only lasts until next weekend. A fix, a test, a rollback ready.
- Lock it in. Procedure, monitoring alert, handover to your teams: the same failure does not come back.
Virtualisation
VMs frozen at night, datastore full
Forgotten snapshots, overlapping backups, undersized storage. I measure, free up space, and set thresholds and alerts.
Payment · access control
Payment accepted, access denied
I follow the transaction end to end: terminal, server, controller, network. The broken link shows in the logs.
Video · recognition
Passages not recognised
Cameras, lighting, network, analytics engine: we measure the recognition rate before changing anything.
SIP intercom
Calls ringing into the void
SIP registration, NAT, codecs, quality of service: I trace the call flow down to the lost packet.
IoT
Sensors dropping off
Radio coverage, power, gateway, monitoring: I tell an isolated failure from a design flaw.
Support · operations
The same incident every month
Root cause analysis, ServiceNow or Jira ticketing, Power BI dashboard: the recurring incident becomes a closed problem.
In the field
Level 3 support
A support team that puts out fires instead of suffering them
- Context
- Helpdesk team overwhelmed by critical incidents, cascading escalations.
- What I did
- Support processes restructured, procedures written, team led and coached, steering through dashboards.
- −40% critical incidents
- +60% first-contact resolution
Critical sites · international
Airports, stations, shopping centres: sites that never stop
- Context
- Sites open to the public, running around the clock, where an outage shows immediately.
- What I did
- Deployment and maintenance of IT infrastructure, training for client and internal teams.
- Critical sites across France, Europe and North Africa
Architecture · multi-site
VMware, Hyper-V and Azure architectures delivered end to end
- Context
- Multi-site projects: payment, access control, video, intercom and IoT to integrate.
- What I did
- Design, deployment and management, from framing to go-live.
- End to end from framing to operations

Four steps, no surprises
Frame.
Goal, scope, deliverables, schedule and access: everything is written down before we start. You know what you will get, and when.
Audit.
Inventory, measurements, interviews with your teams. Findings are factual and shared with you before any decision.
Deliver.
Architecture, migration, fix or development: every cutover has a success criterion and a rollback plan.
Hand over.
Documentation, procedures, training. Your teams run the solution without depending on me.
Why MSSC
Why trust MSSC with your systems?
Ten years of critical infrastructure.
I have worked on IT systems and infrastructure since 2016. As a solution architect, I have designed and deployed VMware, Hyper-V and Azure architectures, and integrated critical systems: electronic payment, access control, video, SIP intercom, connected devices.
Measured results in support.
On a previous support scope, critical incidents were cut by 40% and first-contact resolution improved by 60%, by structuring processes and leading the helpdesk team.
International projects, systems that must not stop.
Deploying and maintaining infrastructure for international clients on critical sites: airports, stations, shopping centres. Training for client and internal teams.
