Crafty Penguins

“Crafty Penguins helped us set up a customized and small-scale HPC using existing resources in our research lab at Columbia University. The cluster has been running beautifully for several years now and throughout that time, Crafty Penguin’s support has been superb: responsive, reliable, creative, friendly, no-nonsense. They’ve been indispensable for keeping us productive. I can’t recommend them highly enough.”

“We couldn’t be happier with their support and look forward to many more years of partnership.”

“Their flexibility and collaborative spirit have made them a true extension of our team.”

“Throughout all our projects, their team has been knowledgeable, friendly, and proactive — often suggesting ways we could handle tasks in-house to save money.”

“Since then, they’ve also created a reliable server backup system for us and later extended it to the cloud.”

“After deciding to move forward with a full implementation, Crafty Penguins won our competitive bid to develop a customized user interface — which they delivered on time and on budget.”

“When our in-house IT team needed help setting up and testing “Access to Memory,” a Linux-based system for archival cataloging, the Crafty Penguins team jumped right in. They quickly built the environment, installed the software, and guided our staff through the learning curve with patience and expertise.”

“We’ve been working with Crafty Penguins since 2018, and they’ve been a fantastic partner every step of the way.”

“The team of Crafty Penguins has very in-depth knowledge, is capable of investigating the issues a lot deeper than an average IT provider and is always there for us when we need them.”

“Having Crafty Penguins manage our systems saves us time so that we can focus on our core business. At the moment, we serve 25,000+ customers with only two of our own staff members.”

“They helped us build a new, reliable architecture that gives us a comfortable sense of security. We now stopped worrying about our system crashing and can concentrate on running our business.”

“We came to Crafty Penguins when it became evident that we didn’t have a solid infrastructure to guarantee our users reliable performance and data security. We relied on their team to be the experts, and they didn’t disappoint.”

“What I appreciate most about Crafty Penguins (aside from the great name) is how effortless it is to work with them. If I need a change, I just send a message on Slack, and someone knowledgeable takes care of it. I don’t have to learn HAProxy or figure out how to migrate to Kubernetes myself — I know it’ll be handled properly and reliably.”

“Their dedication and expertise have given me something invaluable: confidence. Confidence to focus on expanding my business, confidence in the knowledge that our systems are in the best hands, and above all, the confidence to sleep soundly at night, ensuring our digital operations run seamlessly.”

“Enter the team at Crafty Penguins. With their round-the-clock monitoring and their team of dedicated engineers, they’ve transformed our computing infrastructure from a constant source of stress to a pillar of reliability. They aren’t just “there” when things go wrong—they’re always a step ahead, preemptively addressing potential issues and responding with lightning speed when intervention is needed.”

“Before partnering with them, server downtimes and unexpected server hitches were a recurring nightmare. Every glitch, every momentary lapse, wasn’t just a technical hiccup—it was a disruption to our service, our reputation, and our peace of mind.”

“As a SaaS business owner, I’ve come to realize that it’s not just about having an application, it’s about having a supported infrastructure that’s continually operational, secure, and efficient. That’s where Crafty Penguins comes in.”

“They’ve transformed our computing infrastructure from a constant source of stress to a pillar of reliability.”

“Their team of experts managed our cloud infrastructure, handled patching and malware removal, and ensured our systems stayed stable, secure, and online with 100% uptime. Every project was clearly scoped, communicated, and completed on time, with prompt and reliable support through calls, email, and Slack. What impressed me most was their trustworthiness and deep technical expertise—they truly are masters of their craft. Crafty Penguins isn’t just a vendor; they’re a dependable partner who continually seeks feedback and strengthens the relationship with every interaction.”

“Working with Crafty Penguins has been an outstanding experience. As the CEO of a digital marketing agency, I needed a partner I could completely trust to handle our server management, security, and 24/7 monitoring—and Crafty Penguins delivered flawlessly.”

“What I value most is the responsiveness and the feeling that they’re genuinely part of our team. Our engineers raise issues directly in a shared Slack channel and get fast, hands-on support — often with tickets created and work underway within minutes. When we needed 24/7 monitoring coverage, they made it happen. When we needed to scale CI capacity ahead of a major release, they delivered. For a company where engineering uptime directly translates to business outcomes, having a dedicated infrastructure partner that keeps pace with us has been a game-changer.”

“Do you want just a vendor or a real partner? If you’re looking for the former, go find the lowest bid. When you ultimately are let down, then hire Crafty Penguins like you should have in the first place!”

“In our case, it has liberated many of our resources to concentrate on generating value for our customers within our core competencies and fully exploiting our competitive advantages.”

“We highly recommend Crafty Penguins to any business looking for peace of mind and top-level solutions.”

“The Crafty Penguins’ team has been committed to our success since our first interaction and continues to provide excellent value to our organization.”
