↓01 / OUR EXPERTISE
From requirements
to running workloads.
A platform is only as strong as the decisions beneath it. We connect architecture, physical infrastructure, virtualization, and operations into one coherent environment.
Build
Rack, cable, power, and configure. Integrate the physical environment with clear management paths and serviceable components.
DATACENTER & INTEGRATIONVirtualize
Bring workloads onto a clustered platform with virtual networking, resilient storage, and deliberate availability design.
HYPERVISORS & HCIAutomate
Turn standards into repeatable builds. Use Image Factory, infrastructure as code, and configuration management to deploy consistently.
IMAGES & PROVISIONINGOperate
Keep the platform ready for change through monitoring, patching, backup, lifecycle management, and capacity planning.

Reliability isn’t a feature.
It’s an architecture.
Explore the layers behind a production platform. Every connection, component, and configuration has a job to do.

Enterprise workstations.
Datacenter foundations.
A customer-premises virtual workstation platform that brings compute, storage, and management into a resilient three-node HCI cluster.

↳ INDEPENDENT BACKUP & RECOVERY
Built for continuity.
Sized for the workload.
Three HPE ProLiant DL360 Gen11 servers form the foundation. N+1 capacity planning allows for a node outage, subject to workload sizing and available resources.
- Clustered workloads with high availability
- Live migration for planned maintenance
- Redundant 25GbE and power paths
- Centralized management with HPE iLO
- Independent backup and recovery design

Per node: Intel Xeon Gold 6548Y+, 32 cores; 512 GB DDR5 ECC memory, with 768 GB an option when workload sizing calls for it; redundant boot storage; enterprise NVMe; dual-port 25GbE; redundant power; HPE iLO management.
Design qualification: Example reference architecture, not a performance or capacity guarantee. Workload profiles, licensing, hardware compatibility, storage resiliency, backup retention, and recovery objectives determine the final design. *Storage Spaces Direct is used where the validated hardware and Windows Server edition support it. Usable capacity varies with resiliency and reserved capacity.
04 / THE AUTOMATION LAYER
Define once.
Build consistently.
Deploy repeatedly.
Good infrastructure starts with standards.
Image Factory turns those standards into repeatable machine images and infrastructure artifacts.
Version-controlled definitions, automated configuration, and validation help teams provision consistently, rebuild reliably, and reduce configuration drift.

05 / SELECTED PROJECT
A workspace platform.
Built on infrastructure.
A customer-premises virtual workstation project, bringing user access, clustered compute, resilient networking, and independent backup into one platform design.
The requirement
Deliver centrally hosted workstations to users while keeping the infrastructure at the customer’s premises.
The engineering
Connect a three-node cluster, redundant network paths, and a separate backup platform around the workstation workloads.
The approach
Consider access, availability, serviceability, and recovery together—from the user’s device to the underlying servers.
