At the core of our business, we specialize in datacenter infrastructure for elements such as:

• Compute (x86 or IBM POWER servers)
• Storage (SAN, NAS)
• Network

We will design, install and configure the infrastructure, everything according to your need.

We naturally are also fluent with virtualization solutions (VMware, IBM PowerVM, Proxmox), where we can help you virtualize and optimize your computing environment.

While a niche market, High Performance Computing (HPC) is more and more needed in many industries, especially with the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the need to compute increasingly complex problems.

We can bring you our long-standing expertise for the

• design,
• implementation / deployment
• operations

of your HPC infrastructure.

By partnering with well-known and well-established hardware vendors, we are able to provide you with cutting-edge turn-key solutions.

Monitoring and observability of your datacenter play a major role in ensuring that your IT services are always up and running and that you can anticipate problems and also understand where the issue comes from.

We will provide expertise in designing your monitoring system: what and how should the infrastructure be monitored? How to present data in a dashboard? All these questions are crucial in designing an useful monitoring service, and we can help you in answering them.

We can then implement the monitoring solution, either with our preferred solutions (Zabbix or Nagios), or any other existing solution you may already have.

Data storage is critical for your business: keeping data safe and always accessible in a timely manner.

Our team has expertise with data storage infrastructure (either physical or Software Defined) and the related software suites for managing the data lifecycle.

We have a very extensive experience with IBM branded solutions, such as

• Storage Scale, Protect and Archive
• Flash Systems

In addition to these specific solutions, our general experience with the storage subsystems is of great help for designing and troubleshooting storage solutions.

Linux and Open Source solutions in general are one of the areas of expertise of Transparent IT, where we can help you deploy and operate Linux infrastructures, coupled with Open Source solutions.

If you are looking to replace one of your commercial products with an Open Source solution, or if you would like someone to assist you to migrate to Open Source solutions, then our skills can help you. We will provide you with a detailed analysis of existing products and guide you towards the best choice, along with documentation and detailed migration or operational processes.

How about automating repetitive or complex tasks? Or maybe do you need coherency in the deployment of your large-scale infrastructure? Our expertise with automation and scripting can help you.

We specialize in what is called Infrastructure as code, where your entire infrastructure configuration is automated via Ansible playbooks, that can be run on your systems to (re-)configure them to a known state.

We can also prepare automation scripts (in Shell, Powershell, Python among other languages) to streamline a complex process or to process incoming data for instance.
