Design & Solutions
Reference designs organised by theme and industry: from pain points to architecture, components and delivery steps.
Three lines: storage, resilience, AI and data.
A compute centre answers "how fast can we compute"; a storage centre answers "can we feed it, keep it and move it".

Backup is not the goal; the goal is a business that stays standing through failures, ransomware and audits.

The bottleneck in AI adoption is rarely the model; it is the data, scattered across file servers, drives, mailboxes and business systems, in inconsistent formats, with unclear permissions, and too sensitive to hand to an external model.

FinanceFinancial institutions face a double constraint: regulators require multi-site resilience with verifiable recovery, and the business requires core-system failover that does not interrupt trading. 
EnergyEnergy companies hold data across production control, dispatch, metering and business networks, with dispersed sites and limited bandwidth, so a plan to back everything up at headquarters rarely works. 
HealthcareWhen a hospital's core systems stop, ongoing care is affected; imaging, records and lab data must be kept for years and are the most targeted by ransomware. 
GovernmentGovernment systems are held to three requirements: data stays inside its domain, services do not stop, and everything is auditable. 
ManufacturingA manufacturer's data lives across ERP, MES, PLM and shop-floor equipment, and when a system failure stops the line, losses are counted by the hour. 
Go GlobalFor Chinese companies expanding abroad the first IT problem is not applications but data: what may leave the country, which jurisdiction it sits in, and how to satisfy local rules while headquarters keeps control. Bring your system inventory and recovery requirements; we start with a reference architecture, then talk pricing.
