When to consider us

We are happy to think along if you are within those 10% that need a tailor's suit. It's quite likely that academic infrastructure fits best, but from our experience, initial design choices are complicated, and mistakes are super hard to turn down the road. In the long run, the initial assessment may bring the price down significantly.

Experience

Our OpenStack cloud journey started in 2016 with the Mitaka release.
Ceph storage utilisation started around 2017 with Jewel release. Mainly because commercial, supported solution IOPS was lower than expected.
VyOS HA firewall started in 2022 out of necessity from Equuleus. The previous corporate firewall support price was way beyond imagination.
Since everything above is always live upgraded, we have solid recipes that work in real life.
Integration is the keyword. The software stack that creates functional deployment is massive.

Team

Academia PhD graded, well paid technical support personnel.
We politely refuse when a conflict of interest or massive academic infrastructure suits you better.

Requests

Pricing

A Taylor's suit solution is from 74 €/h + VAT. If a regular suit fits well, academia prices will start from 60 €/h, mostly self-service if you can help yourself. So, you will be charged only for the hardware you use. Academia is a non-profit, so as long as you are able to use keywords like "Innovation", "Collaboration", and "Industry", most minor infrastructure adjustments are free of charge. If you are lucky, you will get the same person to guide you through the infrastructure setup process in academia.
