About IronGateOps
Who Writes This
Alon M. spent a decade-plus moving up the IT stack — from network operations to enterprise infrastructure to systems architecture. He has evaluated, deployed, and troubleshot the kind of systems that small businesses are now expected to manage without a dedicated IT team.
He writes for IronGateOps.com because the gap between "enterprise-grade DR documentation" and "what a 12-person business actually needs" is enormous, and most of what fills that gap is vendor marketing dressed up as guidance.
Every review and decision guide on this site reflects what actually works at SMB scale — and what fails at the worst possible moment.
What This Site Covers
- Backup and disaster recovery — what qualifies as real DR vs what gives you a false sense of security
- Remote access and business continuity — VPN, remote desktop, and zero-trust options for businesses without IT staff
- Hosting and infrastructure decisions — when managed hosting is right, when it's overkill, and when the cheap option will cost you more later
- Business continuity planning — practical frameworks for non-technical owners
