VM
Virtualisation
Clustered hosts for VMS, access and application servers.
Compute & storage
IT platforms for command & recording
Right-sized server, storage and virtualisation platforms for on-prem workloads — VMS, BMS historians, access servers and edge analytics — with backup and recovery built in.
The challenge
What operators struggle with today
Security and building systems often run on ageing tower servers under desks, with no backup or spare parts plan. Virtualisation sprawl increases licensing cost while performance bottlenecks affect live operations.
Facilities IT is frequently treated as secondary to corporate IT, leaving critical systems under-protected and poorly documented.
Architecture before procurement
We map interfaces, retention policies and escalation paths before specifying devices — so systems stay coherent after handover.
Overview
Platform scope
We size recording archives, edge appliances and integrated command-and-control hosts with backup drills, power coordination and growth paths for analytics.
