Managed Linux & Data Sovereignty in Perth
How we engage
Your infrastructure, your data, your country
Open-source Linux infrastructure we design, migrate and run for you — on hardware or cloud you own.
Advise
Where self-hosting or private cloud beats per-seat SaaS on cost, control and sovereignty.
Migrate
Move off VMware, foreign clouds or licensed stacks onto Proxmox and open-source Linux.
Run
24/7 monitoring, patching and backups on your hardware OR any cloud — hardened with Ansible.
Own
No vendor lock-in, no per-seat rent, Australian data sovereignty by default.
Nano Solutions designs, migrates and runs open-source Linux infrastructure for Australian businesses and government — Proxmox, private cloud and self-hosting, with Australian data sovereignty and no vendor lock-in. Established 2013, Fremantle-based, a WA Government CUAICTS2021 ICT panel supplier (Contractor #225).
Your infrastructure, your data, your country
Data sovereignty means your data is stored and processed under Australian jurisdiction, on infrastructure you control — not in a foreign cloud subject to overseas law. For government, healthcare and regulated industries it's often a compliance requirement; for everyone else it cuts legal and supply-chain risk and keeps costs predictable. We build that infrastructure and run it for you.
What we manage
- Proxmox & the VMware alternative — open-source virtualisation, clustering and backup without the licensing lock-in.
- Private cloud & self-hosting — run your applications and data on hardware or cloud you own.
- Private AI hosting — self-hosted local LLMs so sensitive data never leaves your control.
- Day-to-day operation — 24/7 monitoring, patching, backups and a named engineer, hardened with Ansible.
Monitored and managed wherever they run — any cloud, not just on-prem
Data sovereignty is our default, but we manage Linux the same way wherever it lives. Whether your servers sit on your own hardware, a private cloud, or a public cloud — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean — we run them as one estate: 24/7 instance monitoring and alerting, OS and security patching, backups and recovery, and configuration kept consistent and hardened with Ansible. Same playbooks, same named engineer, the same Essential Eight-aligned baseline — no matter the platform. Already running in a public cloud and just want it monitored and maintained properly? That's our managed cloud remit too.
Open-source, hardened, and built for government
Open-source Linux underpins most of the world's critical infrastructure. As a WA Government CUAICTS2021 panel supplier, we run hardened, monitored Linux environments aligned to the Essential Eight, with Australian-resident engineers and Australian data sovereignty throughout — for government, mining and community-services organisations.
No vendor lock-in, no per-seat rent
Our default is infrastructure you own and can leave. We won't lock you into a licensed stack or charge per seat to use your own systems — which keeps your costs predictable and your options open as you grow.
Typical investment
- Managed Linux infrastructure: from $1,500/month, by environment size and level of cover.
- Migrations (e.g. VMware → Proxmox): scoped per project.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is data sovereignty and why does it matter?
Data sovereignty means your data is stored and processed under Australian jurisdiction, on infrastructure you control, rather than in a foreign cloud subject to overseas law. For government, healthcare and regulated industries it is often a compliance requirement; for everyone else it reduces legal and supply-chain risk.
What does Nano's managed Linux service include?
Design, migration and day-to-day operation of Linux infrastructure — Proxmox virtualisation, private cloud, self-hosting of applications and AI — with proactive monitoring, patching, backups and a named engineer. Environments are hardened and kept consistent with Ansible automation.
Can you monitor and manage VMs in AWS, Azure or GCP, or only on-premise?
Wherever they run. We monitor and manage Linux instances on your own hardware, a private cloud, or any public cloud — AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean — as a single estate. That means 24/7 instance monitoring and alerting, OS and security patching, backups, and configuration kept consistent and hardened with Ansible, using the same playbooks and the same named engineer regardless of platform. Data sovereignty is our default, not a limit on where we operate.
Can you move us off VMware?
Yes. We migrate VMware estates to Proxmox VE, an open-source virtualisation platform, removing the licensing cost and lock-in while keeping your workloads running. We plan and execute the migration with minimal downtime, then run the result for you.
Is open-source infrastructure secure enough for government?
Yes — open-source Linux underpins most of the world's critical infrastructure. As a WA Government CUAICTS2021 panel supplier, we run hardened, monitored Linux environments aligned to the Essential Eight, with Australian-resident engineers and Australian data sovereignty.
Can you host AI privately on our own infrastructure?
Yes. We run open-weight large language models on private Linux infrastructure so your prompts and data never leave your control — see our private AI hosting service. This is the data-sovereign alternative to sending sensitive data to a third-party AI provider.
How much do managed Linux services cost?
Managed engagements start from around $1,500/month depending on the size of the environment and the level of cover. Migration and project work is scoped separately. Every engagement starts with a free 30-minute scoping call.
Where is Nano based?
Fremantle, Western Australia, established 2013, with Australian-resident engineers and Australian data sovereignty throughout.
