Compute and memory fit
Select CPU characteristics and memory capacity around supported software, concurrency, licensing, and measured workload behavior.
COMPUTE / DEDICATED SYSTEMS
Your workload.
Its own hardware.
When a workload needs a specific physical configuration, start with the application and build the system around it. Dedicated equipment makes the hardware boundary explicit.
Storage with a purpose
Balance usable capacity, endurance, I/O patterns, redundancy, and recovery. Choose a disk layout for the workload rather than treating every terabyte as equivalent.
Private fabric integration
Connect the server to the right storage, application, backup, and administrative paths. Separate network roles where the environment calls for it.
Hardware lifecycle planning
Account for equipment sourcing, supported configurations, maintenance, replacement, and eventual migration. Agree on capacity and lead times in the proposal.
A CLEARER TECHNICAL CONVERSATION
What goes into the design.
Key inputs and operating decisions to establish for your environment.
| Design area | What we review together |
|---|---|
| Best-fit workloads | Dedicated resource needs, specialized software, virtualization hosts, and defined isolation requirements. |
| Configuration inputs | CPU, RAM, storage behavior, network interfaces, OS support, and licensing. |
| Delivery | Equipment availability, build validation, installation, and handover. |
| Protection | Encryption coverage, backup architecture, recovery copies, and replacement planning. |
| Commercial scope | Hardware, licenses, connectivity, management, and lifecycle responsibilities. |
A physical server still needs a recovery plan
Redundancy, copies, access, and restoration procedures remain part of the wider environment.
Bring application requirements early
Vendor support and licensing can influence the system long before hardware is selected.
