BUILT AROUND THE WORK

When this service fits

When you need a new environment or more capacity

Review application workloads, capacity, budget, power and space constraints. Compare equipment and deployment options, then agree installation and acceptance requirements.

  • A new application needs an operating environment
  • GPU, storage or network capacity is uncertain
  • The current setup has limited room to grow

TECHNICAL CAPABILITIES & SCOPE

What the engineering covers

Choose methods to fit your existing equipment, systems and project requirements.

Hardware selection & investment planning

Compare hardware against the workloads it must support and the expansion path the business may need.

  • Rack/tower servers, GPU training and inference nodes, storage arrays and network devices
  • Memory channels, drive bays, PCIe lanes and GPU expansion capacity
  • Performance-to-cost comparisons, energy use, physical space and growth planning

Build, connect & accept

Turn the approved selection into a usable environment with clear responsibilities for procurement, installation and ongoing operation.

  • Demand estimation, bill of materials and procurement coordination
  • Local server setup, cloud environment provisioning and network integration
  • Installation checks, workload verification and documented handover

DELIVERABLES

What you receive

Agree the deliverables and acceptance criteria before work starts.

Requirements & capacity assessment

Workloads, expected users, storage and growth assumptions, with constraints recorded.

Selection report & bill of materials

Recommended options, expansion limits, procurement scope and cost comparison.

Installed operating environment

Agreed hardware and cloud resources, connectivity and asset records.

Acceptance & operation handover

Workload checks, operating instructions and support responsibilities.

Implementation and handover

Review the working result at each stage before agreeing further work.

  1. Estimate needs and select equipment

    Review workloads, the existing environment and expansion constraints. Compare equipment and costs, then agree procurement and acceptance scope.

  2. Build and check the environment

    Install servers, storage and networking in stages. Demonstrate representative workloads and review capacity, operation and next steps.

  3. Accept and transfer

    Record installation and workload checks. Deliver equipment and environment documentation and agree operating and maintenance responsibilities.

DEPLOYMENT & HANDOVER

Deployment, handover and ongoing responsibilities

Private delivery and existing identities

Deliver into the agreed customer environment, with AD / LDAP / OIDC integration where required. Define data migration, staged transition and any external-service dependencies before implementation.

Source-level assets and independent operation

For development work, hand over source, dependencies, deployment configuration, CI/CD definitions, interface/data documentation and operating guides. Usage, redevelopment rights and independent-build acceptance are agreed in the contract.

ACCEPTANCE

Agree what completion means

  • The delivered inventory matches the approved procurement and resource scope.
  • Representative workloads complete on the chosen hardware or cloud environment.
  • Expansion limits, ownership and operating costs are documented.
  • Your team receives access, operating guidance and agreed warranty/support contacts.
Discuss your acceptance criteria

BEFORE WE START

A few practical questions

Can you provide selection advice or build on existing equipment?

Yes. Assessment, hardware selection, environment setup and handover can be scoped separately. Review existing equipment, workloads, dependencies and other teams’ responsibilities first.

How are cost, timing and performance targets agreed?

Review the existing environment and representative tasks first. Then agree milestones, expected scale, acceptance criteria and exclusions. Cost, timing and performance targets depend on that scope and the test conditions.
