Expertise

Combined experience from many projects.

What follows is a summary of what our team has brought to projects for companies, organisations and public institutions – deliberately without naming individuals or clients. This section is about the breadth of experience, not individual references.

Scalable storage and data architectures, on-premise and in the cloud – including environments in the multi-terabyte and petabyte range.

  • Ceph, MinIO, S3-compatible object storage
  • Relational and non-relational databases
  • Backup, disaster recovery and retention

Observability & operations

Systems that don’t just run, but are observable – monitoring, logging and alerting following SRE practice.

  • Grafana, Prometheus, Elasticsearch, Loki
  • SLI/SLO and error-budget practice
  • 24/7 operations and incident management

Security & identity

Access control, compliance and identity management as part of the architecture, not an afterthought.
