Deployed, tuned and proven to perform as your hardware should

We install, automate, tune and benchmark the system, and hand your team a cluster that's ready to run.

What we offer

Deployment project

We set up new Lustre and Ceph systems, or expand and migrate existing ones, then benchmark them and hand your team a runbook.

4–8 weeks

Deployment automation

We automate installation, HA failover and network setup, so every node, and every rebuild, comes up exactly the same.

Cluster operations

We set up high availability with DRBD, provision nodes at scale with xCAT, and integrate Slurm for job scheduling.

Tuning and benchmarking

We tune the system for your workload and prove the gains with benchmarks, showing the before and after in a report.

2–4 weeks

Monitoring and handover

We hand over Grafana dashboards, a runbook and a tuning report, so your team can run the system.

Part of every deployment

Lustre support

We stay on after go-live to diagnose problems and re-tune the system as your workloads and capacity change.
