Proper infrastructure,
properly documented.
A lab or studio does not have to be a collection of cables that only work when the router has not been rebooted. We design it, procure the equipment at cost, build it, test it, and hand you the drawings so you can extend it yourself.
- Lowmarkup on hardware
- 3Drender before you buy
- Docsas-built, always
Six starting points
Indicative scopes, priced against your actual space and requirements. We quote in writing before anything is ordered, and the last one starts with what you already own.
Office
A working setup in a small office. Stable network, clean Wi-Fi coverage, a server or NAS if you need one, and everything documented.
- Site survey and coverage plan
- Router, switch and access point configuration
- Wi-Fi tuned for the actual building
- Optional NAS or file server, set up and verified
- Labelled cabling and an as-built drawing
Lab
A rack, a few servers, and the software to run them. Designed so you can learn, break and rebuild without losing the setup.
- Rack planning, layout and 3D render
- Server build, firmware and storage configuration
- Virtualisation and container platform
- Networking, VLANs and storage fabric
- Backup, monitoring and recovery plan
Studio
The same discipline as an enterprise site, at a size that makes sense. Cabling, switching, Wi-Fi, power and support in one scope.
- Structured cabling and certified test results
- Switching, VLANs and Wi-Fi coverage
- Power and backup sizing
- Firewall, VPN and secure remote access
- Monitoring and a support tier
School Labs
A classroom lab that works for every student, not only for the first ten. Server, network and hands-on kit, built to survive a term.
- Classroom network, student VLANs and full Wi-Fi coverage
- Lab server and storage for coursework and projects
- Hands-on kit of boards, sensors and cabling, tested before delivery
- Accounts, image deployment and a one-click reset
- Safe power, cooling and a written reset procedure
Personal Workstations
One machine, specified for the work you actually do. Built, tuned and handed over ready to use, with the build sheet to repeat it.
- Specification taken from your workload, not from a parts list
- Build, firmware, memory and storage configured
- Thermal and power tuned for quiet, cool running
- Full-disk encryption and a backup that has been restored
- Transfer, clean handover and a repeatable build sheet
Assess your existing setup
You already own the kit. We measure it, test it and tell you what is wrong with it, in writing, before anybody spends money.
- Physical audit of cabling, labelling, rack and power
- Network and Wi-Fi coverage measured, not estimated
- Security and access review, findings ranked by risk
- Backup tested with a real restore, not a green tick
- A written report: what to fix first, and what to leave alone
What we can build for you
Pick one line or take the whole thing. Every item is quoted separately so you can decide what earns its place.
Network and Wi-Fi
Survey, plan, cable, configure, certify, and cover dead zones properly.
Servers and storage
Rack, build, RAID or ZFS, and a backup that has actually been restore-tested.
Virtualisation and containers
Proxmox, VMware or plain Docker, set up with a sane network layout.
Lab design
A 3D render of the rack and cabling before anything is bought.
Access and security
Door control, badges, retention and permissions configured from day one.
Power and backup
UPS sizing, runtime, and safe shutdown on a cut.
Remote access
VPN and hardened administration that does not expose services to the internet.
Documentation
Labelled, photographed, drawn. So the next person can work on it.
You fund it, we source it lean
We do not hold stock and we do not mark up equipment. You pay the supplier directly, or fund a purchase we execute on your behalf with a lean margin. Our margin is the design, the build and the documentation.
Scope and quote
Written, itemised, fixed price. Equipment listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
You fund procurement
Direct payment to the vendor where you prefer, or we purchase on your behalf and pass the receipt through with a lean margin.
Build, test, document
Installed, cabled to standard, tested, and handed over with drawings and a labelled patch schedule.
Support if you want it
Optional retainer covering monitoring, patching and a documented response time. No obligation.
