How Our Consultative Approach Delivers Bespoke Solutions

featured image

With the current influx of technological development, businesses increasingly rely on cloud hosting solutions, with 94% of businesses using some form of cloud software globally (Forbes).Cloud hosting solutions can be leveraged to power operations, drive innovation, and stay competitive. But not all cloud solutions are created equal. Many companies find that one-size-fits-all approaches, often offered by hyperscalers, don’t meet their specific needs. While these generic cloud hosting options may seem convenient or cost-effective, they often come with limitations that could hinder your growth, efficiency, and security. 

In contrast, our consultative approach prioritises a deep understanding of your company’s unique goals and challenges, offering a more personalised service. In this insight, we explore the benefits of our consultative approach and the bespoke solutions we deliver as a result.

The problem with off-the-shelf solutions

While off-the-shelf hosting solutions are often viewed as convenient and cost-effective, they can present challenges for businesses with unique needs and specific operational requirements. Using these solutions may limit your flexibility and customisation options, impacting the efficiency and scalability of your business.  

They are generic

An off-the-shelf cloud hosting solution can present significant challenges for businesses with unique needs and operational requirements. These generic solutions are designed to cater to a broad audience, offering a standard set of features that may not align with your specific goals, workflows, or security demands. This approach often leads to reduced performance and efficiency. Your business may find that a generic cloud solution doesn’t provide the flexibility needed to adjust resources based on fluctuating workloads, leading to either under-provisioning or over-provisioning of resources. This inefficiency can result in unnecessary costs and reduced productivity.

They cannot be customised

One-size-fits-all solutions also offer limited customisation options, potentially hindering your ability to innovate or scale effectively. As your business evolves, your IT requirements change. Whether it’s integrating new applications, ensuring compliance with industry-specific regulations, or enhancing security protocols, a generic cloud solution may lack the necessary tools to accommodate these changes. This can force your business into costly and time-consuming workarounds. Ultimately, one-size-fits-all cloud hosting solutions can stifle growth, innovation, and efficiency by failing to provide the tailored support that businesses need to thrive in a competitive environment.

Security and compliance risks

Another concern with off-the-shelf cloud solutions is the potential security risk. For all businesses, but especially those handling sensitive or regulated data, maintaining security and compliance is crucial. Cookie-cutter cloud solutions may not allow for the customisation of security settings to meet your requirements, leaving your company vulnerable to cyber attacks and data breaches. The consequences of a security incident could include data loss, damage to your business reputation, or even fines from regulatory bodies. 

The benefits of a consultative approach

At the heart of our approach is a commitment to providing full customisable cloud hosting solutions that align with your specific technological, security and business needs. Unlike the one-size-fits-all solutions often provided by hyperscalers, our bespoke solutions are designed to support your strategic goals. Our consultative approach sets us apart. We prioritise building a partnership with you, offering tailored guidance and support to optimise your cloud environment as your business evolves. 

Customisable solutions to meet your needs

Our consultative approach to cloud hosting centres bespoke solutions, allowing you to fully leverage the flexibility and control that cloud hosting provides. Unlike off-the-shelf cloud hosting models, our solutions are fully customisable, enabling you to tailor your infrastructure to meet your specific technology, security, and business requirements. 

Through our consultative process, we collaborate with you to understand your unique needs, whether it’s implementing specific updates, deploying essential software, or ensuring robust security for sensitive data. This tailored approach ensures that your cloud environment is optimised for your specific services, allowing for automation, enhancing performance and providing the security required for handling critical business functions. With complete control over your infrastructure, you can align your IT architecture with your strategic goals, resulting in a solution that evolves with your needs.

Ongoing dialogue – we listen

Beyond customisation, our consultative approach is about building a strong partnership with you. We focus on ongoing dialogue and collaboration, allowing us to gain a deep understanding of your unique challenges, goals, and industry-specific needs. This deeper relationship allows us to offer proactive recommendations, anticipate your future needs, and develop solutions that not only address immediate concerns but also support your long-term growth and innovation. Our solutions are designed to align strategically with your business objectives, ensuring they deliver real value and enhance your overall operational efficiency.

Our consultative approach in action – Symbolic Mind

Symbolic Mind Incorporated (previously known as Adam & Eva), is a cutting-edge team of entrepreneurs, data scientists and industry experts committed to making AI universally accessible. 

The challenge

To train their neuro-symbolic EVA model, they required a specialised hosting provider. Unlike most AI models that rely solely on GPUs, EVA is designed to operate on CPUs, GPUs, or a combination of both, depending on computational needs. This unique requirement made it challenging for Symbolic Mind to find a hosting provider capable of delivering a high-performance CPU-powered server with significant memory capacity while remaining cost-effective. They were also looking for a provider with the expertise to manage their server infrastructure on their behalf, ensuring scalability, security and compliance. 

Our approach

After understanding the unique requirements and challenges faced by Symbolic Mind, we took a consultative approach to provide a bespoke solution. Our team of experts engaged closely with Symbolic Mind to understand the intricacies of their architecture and the specific demands of the EVA model. 

We proposed a custom-built, high performance CPU server, hosted in a data centre with robust power and cooling facilities, which ensured optimal performance for the EVA model’s training. The server was designed with significant memory capacity to handle demanding computational tasks and the infrastructure was built with scalability in mind. We took the burden of infrastructure management off Symbolic Mind’s shoulders, allowing their team to focus on refining their AI products.
