Turnkey Platform Deployments
Beyond general IT and cloud consulting, we bring hands-on, mission-tested experience deploying and sustaining these platforms in some of the most secure and complex environments in the world.
We've designed, deployed, and sustained the Grafana observability stack (Prometheus, Loki, Grafana) end to end — including in some of the most secure and complex DoD and intelligence community environments, on air-gapped and classified networks.
- Architecture and deployment of Prometheus (metrics), Loki (logs), and Grafana (unified dashboards & alerting)
- Secure, on-prem, and air-gapped deployment patterns built to strict security baselines
- Custom dashboards, alerting rules, and data source integration tailored to mission requirements
- Ongoing sustainment: upgrades, capacity planning, and around-the-clock operational support
- Hardening and documentation support aligned to ATO / RMF security requirements

We deliver end-to-end Cohesity deployments — from cluster design through ongoing sustainment — giving mission-critical systems resilient, tested data protection in demanding, high-security environments.
- Cluster design, sizing, and deployment across on-prem and hybrid infrastructure
- Backup and recovery policies engineered to strict RPO/RTO and compliance requirements
- Disaster recovery testing, validation, and runbook development
- Ongoing sustainment, patching, and performance tuning to keep protection SLAs on target
