Servers & Storage

Servers & Storage

Design, supply, and lifecycle management of x86 and ARM server fleets and SAN/NAS platforms. We handle rack/stack, firmware baselines, RAID/ZFS layouts, and performance tuning. Services include hardware refresh planning, OS/hypervisor installs, data migration, microcode/BIOS updates, break/fix with spares, and capacity forecasting. Vendor-neutral; we integrate tier-1 and refurbished enterprise gear to hit budget and SLA targets.

What we do

• Plan, size, and procure x86/ARM servers and SAN/NAS/object platforms
  
  

• Rack/stack, cable, firmware baseline, BIOS/microcode standardization
  
  

• OS/hypervisor installs (Linux/Windows), storage fabrics (FC/iSCSI/NVMe-oF)
  
  

• RAID/ZFS design, snapshots/replication, tiering, and caching strategies
  
  

• Performance tuning (CPU scheduling, NUMA, cache lines, queue depths)
  
  

• Data migration and hardware refresh with zero/low-downtime cutovers
  
  

Typical engagements

• “Refresh my aging fleet without downtime and keep my apps fast.”
  
  

• “Stand up a new high-IOPS database cluster with HA and backups.”
  
  

• “Consolidate file servers into a resilient NAS with snapshots and DR.”
  
  

Supported patterns

• Bare metal, HCI (vSAN/Ceph), shared SAN, scale-out NAS/object
  
  

• Backup/restore and DR runbooks (RPO/RTO targets)
  
  

• Immutable backups and air-gapped copies (3-2-1)
  
  

Deliverables

• Capacity plan + bill of materials (BOM)
  
  

• Golden firmware/BIOS template and install playbooks
  
  

• Test results: burn-in, IOPS/latency, failover drills
  
  

• Migration plan with rollback and acceptance tests
  
  

• Admin-grade documentation and labels
  
  

Options

• 24×7 break/fix with spares pool
  
  

• Quarterly health checks and capacity forecasting
