Solution
Private and hybrid infrastructure
Design and deployment of private and hybrid infrastructure on-premises or with a hosting provider. Integration of servers, virtualisation clusters, storage and networking for applications and data platforms.
Architecture and implementation
Compute and virtualisation
Physical server and virtual machine environments for running services.
Storage and data
Storage, database and data exchange architecture.
Hybrid platforms
Integration of private services with cloud environments and applications.
Design decisions
Virtualisation cluster architecture with shared storage and separate networks for administration, applications and VM migration. Shared storage lets multiple hosts access VM volumes so a VM can restart on another host. Array replication and multiple SAN paths maintain access where supported by the selected configuration.
Illustrative implementation
An environment can separate application services, data and administration, with capacity and access paths defined for each layer.

A compute platform runs Python and R analyses of genomic sample batches in containers. Each run retains references to input files, the Git commit, container image and parameters so results can be compared and the pipeline rerun on another dataset.

Components and flows
- PostgreSQL catalogue for datasets, parameters and provenance; shared storage for files and results
- Docker images built from identified GitHub versions, then executed through Airflow and Kubernetes
- Python and R processing, result publishing and execution records
A private platform connects a research agent to a document index and a local Llama model, with retrieval filtered by access permissions. For example, it can support review of a contract file by locating relevant passages in the firm’s documents and reference texts, then preparing an answer with source references.
