OpenStack Consulting – helping you focus on your core business

In addition to designing and building RedHat OpenStack Infrastructure-as-a-Service platforms, we can also run them too – your consulting experience is end to end.

Experience that covers every cloud

Whether your environment is private, public or hybrid, you can rely on our OpenStack consulting services that are tried, tested and trusted by many blue-chip companies.

Building and running an OpenStack cloud requires specialist skills and in-depth knowledge of Linux OS. Our teams bring together all the disciplines required to successfully design, build, deploy and run OpenStack cloud in all its forms.

Once you’ve decided OpenStack is the right fit your business or venture, we’re here to deliver cloud for you – and even run it for you in the future as a fully managed service.

We design and architect

Our professionals work with your architects to establish requirements and define the optimal architecture for your initial and future deployment strategy.

Getting the exact hardware build inventory correct is no easy shopping list – so we advise on hardware selections. We can also provide detailed purchasing bill of materials, right down to the last power cable. This is critical when deploying in offsite or remote locations – and for ensuring the “OpenStack in a box” installation is smooth and you’re not missing a single component.

We rack and stack

To complement our OpenStack software skills, we retain our own team of infrastructure engineers. They provide the on-site racking, stacking and physical commissions for the project so you feel assured that everything has been built correctly to the specified design.

We integrate and connect

Networking and integration provide the vital glue between the deployment and its successful, secure and stable connection to the outside world. This is a key task that we don’t leave to external parties or contractors – all the skills form part of our core team.

This requires in-depth skills and knowledge to get right, so our networking team are well versed in both public and private cloud. We understand the requirements of both internet-facing and in-house clouds – and how they work alongside each other.

We’re with you from build to support

We’re with you every step of the way from building a robust OpenStack deployment to helping you run it – or even running it for you.

The RedHat tooling and orchestration template helps us design and configure the deployment. It’s vital to have repeatable standards and build to specification as this will make OpenStack easier and quicker to maintain, patch and upgrade as required. A template is also the starting point for customisation. And we provide vital documentation for the testing and handover phase of the deployment.

Our team understands what it takes to successfully run OpenStack deployments long term. From the outset, we create the solid foundations to do just that.
