Command Trace Consulting
Independent infrastructure assessments and short, finite cleanup engagements.No managed services. No contracts. No dependency.
WHAT I DO
I help organizations understand, stabilize, and document IT environments that have grown fragile, undocumented, or chaotic over time.This typically includes reviewing physical infrastructure, power, network topology, backups, and documentation to identify single points of failure and operational risk.The result is clarity: what matters, what doesn’t, and what to fix first.
HOW IT WORKS
First, we take a look.
I come on-site and walk the environment with you — the wiring closets, the racks, the network, the power, the backups. I ask questions, take notes, and figure out where things are fragile or unclear.Then, I tell you what matters.
You get a straightforward write-up that explains what’s solid, what’s risky, and what’s worth fixing first — in plain English, without sales pressure or vendor bias.If you want help cleaning things up, we do that next.
Some clients ask me to stay for a short, time-boxed cleanup. That might mean labeling, documenting, simplifying, and fixing obvious issues so the environment actually makes sense to the next person who touches it.And then I step away.
Everything is documented and handed back. No contracts, no ongoing management, no dependency.
WHAT I DON’T DO
I don’t run helpdesks or manage systems day to day. I don’t sell hardware, software, or subscriptions. And I don’t lock anyone into ongoing contracts.Command Trace is intentionally focused on short, clear engagements that leave your environment easier to understand and support — not dependent on me.If you’re looking for long-term managed IT, I’m happy to say that upfront so you don’t waste your time.
Experience That Assumes Failure Happens
My background is in environments that demand redundancy, documentation, and clear accountability. That perspective carries into every assessment: I look for what breaks under pressure, what only one person understands, and what fails at the worst possible time.If you want clear answers about the state of your IT infrastructure — without sales pressure or long-term contracts — let’s talk.
