About us
Two generations, one team
RMDV is not an agency with staff turnover. We are José and Bruno Schenone: the two people who will handle your project, and the same two who will still be handling it in five years.
1991
Where RMDV comes from
RMDV is built on the experience of José Schenone, who has worked with GNU/Linux and Unix systems since 1991. He has administered production servers without interruption ever since.
That career has run through small companies, where one person covers the whole range — from the cabling to the database — and through large organisations, where an outage is measured in the number of people affected. Alongside it, teaching: Linux courses and training for systems administrators, at university level and privately.
Bruno Schenone is part of the team as a junior DevOps engineer, working on deployments, monitoring, backups and development across production systems. Continuity is built in: RMDV is a family firm, and the second generation is already part of the daily work.
José Schenone
Linux systems administrator, DevOps and information security
Over 35 years working with GNU/Linux and Unix systems. Critical infrastructure administration, automation, networking and security. Also a teacher: he has been running Linux courses and training systems administrators for years, both at university level and privately.
- Linux and Unix since 1991, in production, without a break
- Critical infrastructure in small companies and in large corporations
- Information security: audit, hardening and incident response
- Automation and infrastructure as code
- University teaching and professional training
Bruno Schenone
Junior DevOps engineer
A permanent member of the team. His work covers deployments, monitoring, backups and development across production systems. He is the second generation of RMDV, and the reason the practice outlasts any single stage of it.
Track record
Teaching and certification
Institutions where José has run courses and training programmes, and the certification framework our own training programme is built around.
Why RMDV
How we like to work
We say no
If what you are asking for will not help you, we say so before invoicing it. We would rather lose the job than ship something that will not work.
We document everything
Every system is documented. No knowledge that lives only in one person's head.
We speak plainly
No jargon to impress anyone. We explain what is happening and what we propose to do, in words that make sense.
One point of contact
We will not send you off to talk to the hosting company, the web developer and the network people. There is one door, and we are behind it.
Where we work from
From the red earth, to the world
Our working day overlaps with North America and with European mornings.
We work and document in both languages.
Or on site in Misiones, when the job calls for it.
Everything we do comes out of Misiones, in the north-east of Argentina — a province of red soil and subtropical jungle, on the border with Brazil and Paraguay. That is not a footnote: it is a choice. We live here, our family is here, and from here we administer the servers — spread across several data centres — that serve people all over Latin America.
For a long time it was taken for granted that serious technical work meant moving to a capital city. We proved otherwise. The connectivity is here, the servers respond the same, and experience does not depend on a postcode. What does change is how you work: here you know your clients, you answer the phone yourself, and you own the outcome — because tomorrow you will run into them in the street.
We are proud to do all of this from Misiones, and to show, one project at a time, that from here you can answer to the whole world.
Let's talk
Got a system that keeps you up at night?
Tell us what is going on. We will look at what you have, tell you what we found, and only then talk about budget.
