CUSTOM BUILD · SERVERS

Servers built for your workload, not the catalog.

Off-the-shelf SKUs solve generic problems. We build servers around your actual workload — virtualization fleets, database tiers, network upgrades, control planes. Hardware spec'd, integrated, debugged, and shipped ready to rack.

WHY US

Three things we actually do well.

Most "custom server" vendors are resellers with a spec sheet. We've shipped enough live deployments to know where things break and how to design around it.

▸ 01 / EXPERIENCE
Workload-tested designs
Years of production deployments across virtualization fleets, storage clusters, and high-throughput networking. We've seen what fails at scale and how to design around it.
▸ 02 / DEBUG
Hardware + software debug capability
When firmware misbehaves, NUMA layout hurts performance, or PCIe topology bottlenecks I/O — we don't escalate to the vendor and wait. We isolate, reproduce, and fix.
▸ 03 / HA DESIGN
High-availability from day one
Redundant power, dual-NIC bonding, BMC out-of-band, RAID/erasure coding, failover paths — designed in at spec time, not bolted on after the first outage.
WHAT WE BUILD

Common workloads we have proven specs for.

Each of these has a reference design we've shipped multiple times. Starting from a known-good baseline, we tune for your specific load profile.

▸ VIRTUALIZATION HOSTS
High-density compute for VMware / Proxmox / KVM
Dual-socket EPYC or Xeon, large DDR5 footprint, NVMe boot + capacity tier, dual 25/100G NICs. Tuned for VM density and live migration throughput.
▸ DATABASE & OLTP
Latency-tuned database servers
High-clock CPUs, NVMe with PLP, ECC RDIMM, NUMA-aware layout. Designed for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis primary tiers.
▸ NETWORK & SDN
100G / 400G capable network nodes
DPU-ready chassis, multi-port 100G NICs (Mellanox CX-6/7), PCIe 5.0 lanes properly mapped. For SDN gateways, load balancers, and high-throughput ingress.
▸ CONTROL PLANE
Management & orchestration nodes
Compact 1U/2U servers for K8s control planes, etcd clusters, monitoring stacks. Lower core count, redundant everything, optimized for uptime over throughput.
SHIPPED PROJECTS

What we've put into production.

Two recent deployments where compute and networking choices made the difference.

▸ CASE STUDY · SHENZHEN LINGXINGYU TECHNOLOGY

Compute & storage cluster supporting multiple research projects.

Lingxingyu runs a portfolio of active research workloads requiring reliable compute and shared storage. We delivered a custom server fleet covering both general compute nodes and storage nodes feeding the GPU training tier.

Scope: hardware spec'd for mixed CPU/IO workloads, BMC and out-of-band management standardized across the fleet, BIOS and firmware baselined, and integrated with the existing GPU cluster on a unified network fabric.

▸ CASE STUDY · 39AI · NETWORK UPGRADE

25G to 100G fabric upgrade — large step-up in storage performance.

39ai's inference cluster was bottlenecked on storage throughput. The 25G fabric originally deployed couldn't keep up with the growing dataset I/O. We led the upgrade to a full 100G inter-rack fabric.

Scope: server NIC refresh (25G → dual-port 100G), top-of-rack switch upgrade, optic and cable plant migration, live cutover with zero data loss, and post-cutover throughput validation. Storage performance climbed substantially after the upgrade.
