The engineers and developers within our COLETEK IT Services for The Freshwater team have been immersed in the world of computing and information technology since the early 1980s. With a legacy built on deep technical expertise, we have decades of hands-on experience in both hardware and software engineering, giving us a comprehensive understanding of complex IT systems. From building custom PCs to architecting enterprise networks, our journey started in New South Wales (NSW) and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), and we now proudly serve clients along the East Coast of Queensland, including Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, and beyond.
We specialize in advanced Linux system administration and open-source infrastructure, offering robust and secure solutions for a wide range of environments. Our team consists of experienced IT consultants, network engineers, and software developers who work seamlessly across disciplines such as cloud computing, virtualization, cybersecurity, DevOps, and IT automation. Whether you need to configure a secure Linux server, troubleshoot a kernel panic, deploy a cloud-native app, or optimize your enterprise network, we have the expertise to deliver real results.
We are not your typical computer repair shop. Our deep knowledge and technical agility allow us to diagnose and resolve IT issues of all scales and complexities. From small businesses needing managed IT support to enterprise clients requiring high-availability infrastructure solutions, our services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Our holistic approach covers everything from network security and firewall configuration to data recovery, backup solutions, and remote desktop management.
Our work is powered by a passion for technology and a genuine curiosity for how systems work. We combine expertise in operating systems (Linux, BSD, Windows Server, and macOS), network protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, DHCP, VPN), and scripting languages (Bash, Python, PowerShell) to deliver reliable and scalable IT solutions. We also specialize in cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), helping clients migrate to the cloud or maintain hybrid infrastructures.

I recently discovered COLETEK after I accidently managed to fry the PCB on my hard drive. The drive contained 13 years worth family photos and wasn't comfortable sending it off where it could be damaged more or lost in the post. After spending hours researching and emailing different data recovery companies, I decided on COLETEK. Luke was very helpful and let me know the estimated costs up front, and was able to quickly do the repairs necessary to get my drive running like new again. I was able to back up the whole drive and the bill ended up cheaper than the original quote. I can highly recommend them and have already sent a friend to get their drive repaired too.
I have been working closely with COLETEK for the past 6 years now, and I must say, it is a success story :-). I highly respect their team, they are a pleasure to work with and top skilled professionals. In addition to their top Technical service, their customer service is brilliant and it is a rare find. Their PCB repair rework skills are top notch and a rare find in this industry. I have been working in the IT industry for the past 20 years in various fields and seen it all so I can say with certainty that they are the best around and I am looking forward to keep working with them in the future.
My hard drive died with 18 months of work plus photos of my daughters 1st 18 months of life. I contemplated building a time machine to go back and document all those memories again - though I found it logistically and financially much easier to go with COLETEK. My recommendation is forget trying to build a time machine - call COLETEK.
