Technology for universities and research institutes

Private clouds for teaching and research, platforms that a small IT team can run, and the open-source stack academics already know. We have delivered for the University of Dhaka, BUET, Bangladesh Open University, BdREN and the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute.

What you are up against

Demand outgrows budgets

Research groups need compute and storage on demand, while central IT budgets and staff stay flat.

Open by preference

Institutions favour open-source platforms they can inspect, teach and extend, without vendor lock-in.

Shared, not siloed

Departmental servers under desks waste capacity and create security gaps. Shared platforms need fair, simple access.

What we deliver

Private cloud for research and teaching

OpenStack private clouds with self-service projects, quotas and integration with campus identity.

OpenStack platforms

Kubernetes and multi-cluster management

Container platforms for research software, learning systems and student projects, managed with Rancher.

Rancher

Research and AI computing

GPU servers, storage and job scheduling for data science, AI and simulation groups, designed around real workloads.
