RetakeData / infrastructure practice
We help teams regain control of private, hybrid, and on-prem infrastructure. From foundation to platform operations to private internal tools, we build systems your team can understand, operate, and improve.
Foundation / Platform Ops / Private systems
Client work
Client work for VINC; engineering for Kindred Group PLC across an in-house SRE role and a client engagement. Next, your team.
The context VINC builds websites and hosts production services across two datacenters.
What we built
We built and installed the Proxmox nodes on site, deployed highly available Ceph storage on 40 SSDs, and integrated Proxmox Backup Server and monitoring.
Scope in production
The context Production platforms where VM delivery and observability had to work at scale.
The engineering
Work across an in-house SRE role and client engagement: Git-driven VM delivery tooling, and observability operations and ingestion tuning alongside platform teams.
Scale of the platform team's work
Your challenge An infrastructure problem that needs a solution your team can run.
Where we help
From migration and private platforms to delivery automation and observability, we scope the risk, build a testable change, and leave your team ready to run it.
Production platform work
Beyond client engagements, work inside larger platform teams shaped how we approach automation and observability.
8+Years in production infra
5,000 VMs delivered
A Git-driven delivery pipeline spanning provisioning, configuration, service discovery and monitoring, built and operated with platform teams.
20 TB+ / day
With platform teams, optimized data ingestion, query performance and dashboards across Loki, Elasticsearch and Thanos.
We work where infrastructure, operations, and product systems meet. Some missions start with racks and storage, some with observability or automation, and some with private internal tools.
Bare metal, private cloud, storage, network, virtualization, migration, and HA design. Strong Proxmox/Ceph experience, but not limited to one stack.
Automation, observability, deployment workflows, alerting, RUM, and SLOs. We implement, maintain when needed, and train the team on systems they can measure and change.
Internal apps, SRE tools, private AI, and operational assistants that stay inside your infrastructure - with the same RBAC, audit, and operational rules as the platform.
Small enough to stay close to the work, structured enough to operate, maintain, and train your team without ceremony.
Find the dependencies before changing production.
Ship one tested improvement with a way back.
Turn signals into actions, not more dashboards.
Leave the team ready to run what we built.
Bring us a migration, platform, observability, or private systems problem. We can scope it, build it, maintain it, and train the team on it.
