The compute, storage and recovery underneath everything
Servers, storage, virtualisation, backup infrastructure and disaster recovery — specified against the workload, installed by the engineers who will still be supporting it.
Infrastructure, specified and supported
Servers
Rack and tower compute from Dell EMC PowerEdge and HPE ProLiant, sized against the real workload — and hyperconverged where it earns its place.
Storage
SAN, NAS and direct-attached, with the tiering, IOPS and growth curve worked out before anyone quotes you a shelf of disks.
Virtualisation
VMware, Hyper-V and Proxmox. Design, migration and consolidation, including moving off licensing that no longer makes sense.
Backup infrastructure
The hardware and software layer underneath your backup policy — sized for the restore time you actually need.
Disaster recovery
A second site, a cloud target, or both. Designed against agreed recovery time and recovery point objectives, then tested.
High performance computing
Cluster design and build for engineering and geoscience workloads, including interconnect, scheduling and storage throughput.
The hypervisor behind the infrastructure
We design and support VMware, Hyper-V and Proxmox, so the recommendation is not predetermined.
Specified against the workload, not the catalogue
The most expensive infrastructure mistakes are made at the sizing stage, before anything is bought.
- We measure what you run now — CPU, memory, IOPS, throughput, growth — before proposing anything
- We will tell you when the honest answer is cloud, or a hybrid, rather than more hardware on your floor
- Vendor-neutral: we hold partnerships with the major manufacturers and still specify against the requirement
- Installation, migration and cutover run by our own engineers, with a written rollback point
- Lifecycle: warranty, firmware, capacity review and refresh planning, so end-of-life is a plan and not a surprise
- Ongoing operation available under Managed IT Services if you want it monitored and maintained
Common questions
Do you build data centres as well?
Yes — that is a separate service. See Data Centre Build for containment, power, cooling and the rest of the room.
Can you work with hardware we already own?
Yes. Extending or consolidating an existing estate is usually cheaper than replacing it, and we will say so when it is.
Should we move to cloud instead?
Sometimes. We run the comparison honestly, including the costs that only appear in year two. See Cloud Services.
Do you supply as well as install?
Yes. We are an accredited partner with the major manufacturers and supply, install and support the same equipment.
Tell us what you run today.
Send us the current estate and the workload. We will tell you what actually needs replacing and what does not.
