Compute

Compute infrastructure for operational environments

Syntric designs and delivers on-site, edge and cloud compute platforms around workload availability, supportability and operational lifecycle requirements.

Four connected OT infrastructure layers: protected power, networking, compute and cyber security.

Operational context

Dependable platforms for the workloads that run the site.

Operational workloads frequently depend on local or edge compute for control, supervision, integration and data services. These platforms must remain supportable alongside the systems they serve, often across longer lifecycles than conventional business applications. Cloud platforms extend this foundation where workload, connectivity and operational requirements allow.

Syntric coordinates servers, virtualisation, backup and recovery with the networking, security and protected power beneath them. The result is a compute foundation designed as part of the OT environment rather than an isolated equipment purchase.

01

Workload continuity

Compute architecture aligned to application dependencies and acceptable disruption.

02

Supportable platforms

Clear configuration, documentation and lifecycle intent for the operational team.

03

Coordinated recovery

Backup and recovery planning considered with network, power and application needs.

Service scope

What the work can include.

The final scope is shaped around the operational environment, existing foundation and outcomes the organisation needs to achieve.

01

Server and platform design

Right-size on-site, edge and cloud platforms around OT workload and resilience needs.

02

Virtualisation

Consolidate supported workloads where it improves manageability and recovery.

03

Backup and recovery

Coordinate data protection and restoration objectives with the operating environment.

04

Lifecycle management

Plan maintenance, capacity and renewal before platform age becomes operational risk.

The managed lifecycle

Designed for the site. Managed for the long run.

Common questions

What teams ask about ot compute.

Why keep compute close to an OT environment?

Some operational workloads have latency, availability, connectivity or vendor requirements that make local or edge compute appropriate. The right location depends on the workload and operating model.

Can legacy OT workloads be virtualised?

Sometimes. Compatibility, vendor support, interfaces and recovery needs should be confirmed before deciding whether virtualisation is appropriate.

How does protected power relate to compute?

Compute availability depends on the power and network layers beneath it. Runtime, shutdown and recovery objectives should therefore be coordinated across the foundation.
