Why Aberdeen server + storage work has its own profile
Aberdeen workloads heavily skewed to oil + gas + subsea OT infrastructure + NHS Grampian + energy research at University of Aberdeen. Distinct industrial + research mix.
IT/OT-segregated infrastructure for oil + gas
IT-side Nutanix or vSAN for ERP / corporate + OT-segregated production infrastructure for oil + gas onshore + offshore + subsea OT.
HCI for NHS Grampian
Nutanix Cloud Platform for NHS Grampian — DSP-Toolkit (Scotland) and NHS Scotland IG-aligned.
AI / GPU clusters for ETZ + universities
NVIDIA DGX B200 / GB200 for ETZ wind-simulation, subsea ROV-simulation, plus University of Aberdeen + RGU energy + medicine research.
High-IOPS storage for subsea engineering
Pure FlashArray //X for Wood Group / ASCO subsea engineering CAD / simulation workloads.

How an Aberdeen server / storage project actually runs
Design workshop + sizing week 1
Workload review with application owners.
Procurement → delivery → DC racking
PO raised, delivery direct into the Aberdeen DC.
Configuration + handover
Cluster config, storage provisioning, fabric configuration.
Support contract activates day one
Servnet support live from go-live with NE-Scotland engineer cover for retainer customers.
Aberdeen servers + storage — common questions
Can you rack into Brightsolid ABZ or iomart Aberdeen?
Yes — standing access.
Can you do IT/OT-segregated infrastructure for oil + gas?
Yes — IT-side Nutanix or vSAN for business systems, OT-segregated production infrastructure for oil + gas onshore + offshore.
Do you do AI / GPU clusters for ETZ wind simulation or University of Aberdeen research?
Yes — NVIDIA DGX and Supermicro HGX builds.
Can you do a Nutanix design for NHS Grampian?
Yes — frequent design choice for NHS Grampian post-Broadcom.
Who supports the kit after install?
Servnet — under a Servnet support contract with NE-Scotland engineer cover for retainer customers.
How do you price against NE-Scotland integrators?
On hardware and licence typically 4–9% under list.
