Infrastructure & datacentre design

Datacentre and compute architecture — designed for high availability and long operational life.

We have designed and operated infrastructure from single server rooms to multi-site datacentre estates. Physical layout, power and cooling awareness, virtualisation platforms, and the lifecycle of hardware and software baselines — that is the layer we know in depth. Network design is covered in our dedicated networking practice.

Typical work

Datacentre and server-room design — rack layout, redundancy, capacity planning
Server, storage, and virtualisation platform design (VMware, KVM, hyper-converged)
High availability — clustering, load balancing, failover, and split-brain avoidance
Infrastructure lifecycle management — provisioning, patching cadence, decommissioning
Performance troubleshooting, capacity planning, and technical debt reduction
Runbooks, escalation paths, and operational handover

Pragmatic standard

Documented baselines, monitored services (not just hosts), and changes you can reverse. We optimise for mean time to recovery and predictable lifecycle operations — not one-off heroics.
