About Us

A boutique, family-backed infrastructure agency

MAEK Infra Consulting is a UK-based IT operations and modernisation agency. We help mid-market companies cut computing costs and lock down data privacy by migrating them off expensive public clouds and proprietary hypervisors onto secure, flat-rate, open-source infrastructure.

Our story

Built by two cousins who were tired of watching clients overpay

It started with a familiar complaint, repeated by client after client: watching a perfectly good IT budget disappear into licence renewals for software they never really needed to own. Two cousins, both deep in enterprise IT for years, kept having the same conversation - there had to be a better way to run infrastructure than paying an ever-growing toll to a handful of vendors.

So they built one. MAEK Infra Consulting started as a simple bet: that mid-market companies deserve the same reliability and security as the big players, without being locked into proprietary systems or metered pricing that punishes growth. Everything we run - Proxmox, AlmaLinux, PostgreSQL - is open-source by choice, not compromise. It means you own what you're running, you can move it again whenever you want, and nobody but you controls the bill.


We've kept it boutique on purpose. No account managers, no ticket queues, no handoffs between the person who sold you the project and the person who actually does the work. When you call us, you're talking to the engineers - because that's the only way we know how to do this properly.
