Business

Infrastructure, from the hardware up

Servers, storage and networks sized for the business, built to be rebuilt, with recovery designed in - and the applications that run on them.

Business systems are only as dependable as what they run on. We design, build and run the whole stack: the hardware, the storage and network, the operating systems, and the applications your people use. One team is responsible from the server room to the screen.

How we build it

Sized for the business
Hardware chosen for the workload and the budget, with room to grow, rather than for the brochure.
Built to be rebuilt
Servers are installed automatically from a known configuration when they boot from the network, so a new or failed machine is brought into service by building it again rather than by repairing it by hand.
Storage in few places
Data is kept in one or two well-understood places, with snapshots and replication, so there are fewer things to back up and fewer places to control access.
Recovery as part of the lifecycle
Build, run, grow and recover are planned together. A system is designed with the way it is brought back already worked out.
Operations on record
Changes across the estate are made through ctrl-exec, so every task is authorised and recorded with who ran it and what it returned.
