What Clients Say
“We moved to AV Services after a painful experience with a generic IT vendor who had no idea how to handle our Linux-based hospital systems. Arun diagnosed and fixed a critical storage issue in under 2 hours — remotely, at 11pm. Three years on, we have not had a single unplanned outage.”
Hufort Healthcare
Mumbai · Healthcare · Business Critical retainer
“Our ERP runs on Linux and our previous admin left without documentation. AV Services came in, mapped the entire setup, hardened it, and set up proper monitoring. We now get a monthly report that our auditors actually reference. The retainer pays for itself.”

Business Continuity
What happens if Arun is unavailable?
Every client environment is fully documented: runbooks, monitoring configuration, and a written handoff checklist. Krishna and Sanjay have standing access to the monitoring stack and handle intake and escalation, logging incidents and routing them to Arun immediately. Both are in structured Linux training. The documentation means your environment is recoverable by any competent Linux engineer, not locked in one person’s head.
Documented Runbooks
Every environment, written down
Step-by-step procedures for common incidents and handoff.
Handoff Process
Recoverable by design
Documentation, runbooks, and monitoring access, ready before it is ever needed.

Common Questions
Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime. We adjust your billing proportionally for the remainder of the month.
Contact us. Larger environments are custom-priced based on complexity. We work with you on a case-by-case basis.
No setup fees. You pay only the monthly retainer. First month includes onboarding, access configuration, and initial diagnostics.
Remote response handles most incidents — software issues, configuration, log analysis, monitoring. Onsite is for hardware failure, physical access needs, or when remote diagnosis is not sufficient. Onsite response times vary by plan: 2 hours (Business Critical), 4 hours (Professional), or best-effort (Essential).
We prefer month-to-month so you are never locked in. If you want to commit to a full year, contact us — we can discuss volume pricing.
You can cancel anytime with notice. We will document everything and provide handoff documentation. No penalties, no long goodbyes.
No contract. Month-to-month retainer. Cancel with notice and we handle a clean handoff.
Contact us. We price it based on your environment. Most expansions are handled within 48 hours.

Krishna and Sanjay handle intake and escalation and have monitoring-stack access; both are in active training. Every environment is fully documented with runbooks and handoff checklists, so it can be recovered by any competent Linux engineer rather than depending on one person.
