Capability 04

Data Centre Design

High availability and multi-site resilience, engineered, then migrated without the drama.

Data centre estates fail in predictable ways: oversubscribed cores, east-west bottlenecks, single points of failure that nobody mapped, and migrations that were never rehearsed. The cost is paid in outages and stalled growth.

Foundry designs resilient data centre architectures, non-blocking fabrics, integrated compute and virtualization, and genuine multi-site resilience, and delivers the migrations to reach them with service protected throughout.

What We Deliver

Scope, specified.

Spine-Leaf Fabric Design

Non-blocking Nexus fabrics that deliver linear east-west capacity and remove the legacy three-tier ceiling.

Compute & Virtualization

Integrated UCS compute and VMware platforms designed alongside the network as one coherent system.

High Availability

Redundancy and failover engineered into every layer, with single points of failure identified and removed.

Multi-Site & DR

Active-active and disaster-recovery architectures that keep service running when a site does not.

Migration Engineering

Detailed, rehearsed runbooks that move workloads onto new fabrics with zero or minimal downtime.

Capacity & Resilience Review

Assessment of an existing data centre's headroom, risk and failure domains, with a remediation roadmap.

How We Engage

A disciplined path.

  1. 01

    Survey

    We map the current fabric, compute, dependencies and failure domains in detail.

  2. 02

    Design

    We architect the target fabric and compute platform for capacity, resilience and operational simplicity.

  3. 03

    Rehearse

    Migration runbooks are sequenced and validated against rollback before anything moves in production.

  4. 04

    Migrate

    We execute the cut-over in controlled stages, protecting service at every step.

Outcomes

What changes.

0 downtime

Migrations engineered and rehearsed to protect live service.

Non-blocking

East-west capacity that scales linearly with workload growth.

Resilient

Failure domains bounded and single points of failure removed.
