TL;DR
ResorsIT is a new IT software platform designed to provision and maintain a customer’s existing application stack plus offer a large number of open-source applications as cost-saving alternatives to pricy commercial products. These open-source options cover a wide range of capabilities that most IT departments need, including: Single Sign-on, network modelling, intrusion detection, network monitoring, document management, ticketing, remote access/control and many more to come. We accomplish this with our own architecture, resource model (users, devices, etc.) and agent framework. If you already have a solution for some of these items, great! We can seemlessly integrate with many existing environments to deliver the provisioning and functional capabilities you need. Read on if you want details!
ResorsIT Platform
We offer a cloud-native IT Operations and Resource Management platform that leverages cloud computing’s capabilities and flexibility. It uses microservices and containerization technologies for package management and orchestration tools for container management, deployment and scaling. More details are on the architecture page.
Listed below are standard and add-on applications offering a wide range of functionality, with the benefits of open-source (read our Insight articles on that!) without the hassle of having to make everything work together.
Standard Apps In ResorsIT
The following applications are included in all ResorsIT systems. Note: IF you already have a solution for some of these areas, no worries! We can adapt the configuration to your environment. For example, if you already have an SSO/MFA system, you can continue to use it, and we will hook into it.
Check out our current list of Standard Apps. We expect the list to expand, and possibly change, over time as we seek the best solution set for our customers.

You Might Be Thinking...
'These are open-source applications, so "Why not just get these applications and run them myself?" '
The answer is You certainly could!
In order to create your own ResorsIT-type environment, here's a summary of the things you'll need to develop or perform:
- configure secured storage between applications and internal secrets
- design and build authorization system to manage roles and privileges
- develop database migration tools
- deploy reverse proxy/ingress management
- choose and deploy SSO and de-provisioning management
- work out domain management
- design and deploy certificate management
- document and develop facility management
- choose and deploy software inventory system
- choose UI library tools
- deploy web server
- deploy web content management
- develop asset management
- choose and deploy a password strength evaluator
- create workflow building and monitoring tools
- automate updates of the base images
- install needed utilities on each VM or server
- set the rules for passwords on each VM or server
- harden the ssh on each VM or server
- install log monitoring for the applications and servers
- configure the TLS rules for any proxes and web servers
- close unneeded ports on servers
- update applications as needed
- manage ssh keys for I.T. staff on VMs and servers
- set up SSO for the application
Oh, and all of the above needs to work together, securely, in a containerized, cloud-native environment.
On second thought maybe it’s worth checking out ResorsIT!
