Independent Technology Consulting
Infrastructure you control.
Networks you understand.
No subscriptions to your own front door.
TAPCAVE is a small, focused operation — not a helpdesk queue, not a sales machine. The person you talk to is the person doing the work.
What We Do
Infrastructure & Virtualization
Off VMware and Hyper-V. Onto Proxmox, TrueNAS, or SmartOS. Cloud repatriation included — your workloads, your hardware, your choice.
Manufacturing Network Design
IT/OT segmentation, VLAN design, firewall setup, and documentation built to survive staff turnover. For shops whose networks were never properly built.
Legacy System Integration
Old CNC machines talking to modern workflows. Protocol bridging and custom interfaces — without replacing hardware that still runs.
Custom Application Development
Replace email threads and shared folders with focused tools. Quoting, scheduling, workflow automation — maintainable code, no mystery dependencies.
IT Architecture & Assessment
An honest second opinion from someone who doesn't sell products. What's broken, why, and a clear path forward.
Network Privacy & Security
pfSense-based firewalls for small businesses and security-conscious home users. A real alternative to consumer routers that report back to their manufacturers.
How We Work
Open Systems
Platforms are chosen because they work, not because a sales contract requires them.
Complete Documentation
You own your infrastructure. Everything is documented so you're never dependent on us.
Straight Talk
No buzzwords. No AI hype. No account managers. The person you talk to does the work.
Get In Touch
Let's talk about your infrastructure.
Whether you need an honest assessment of what you have, or you already know what needs to change — reach out.
