Capability | Consulting & managed services
Strategy, procurement and operation — for the long run.
The decisions that matter most — cloud or on-prem, what to buy and when to refresh — are taken before any technical drawing exists. We support them with a roadmap, tender documents that survive procurement, and a reporting discipline that keeps pace with efficiency obligations.

From national-scale practice
A machine at national scale is run by an institution, and the institution has to be engineered as rigorously as the system. We design that layer — mandate, governance, operating model, people — on the European hosting-institution and peer-review model: the discipline behind DEUS 11, a national-scale supercomputer programme in Cluj-Napoca, delivered as an engineering dossier.
