Beyond standard IT: Customised solutions

In today’s fast-moving IT landscape, businesses need more than a one-size-fits-all solution for data protection, storage, backup, and compute performance. With diverse workloads, strict compliance requirements, and varying operational goals, flexibility is key. That’s why tailored solutions are essential—they ensure optimal performance, reliability, and security while aligning with each organization’s specific needs. By focusing on adaptability and efficiency, businesses can build an IT infrastructure that truly supports their growth and long-term success.

Understanding customer needs

Our approach starts with understanding our customers’ IT challenges. Whether it’s safeguarding sensitive data, improving backup efficiency, or enhancing compute power in data centers, we work closely with our partners to identify the precise technical requirements. This collaborative process ensures that our solutions are not only effective but also scalable and future-proof.

The challenging part of IT infrastructure today, lies in hybrid data centers—an optimal blend of on-premise and cloud-based environments, named Hybrid cloud. At RNT Rausch, we design solutions that bridge these two worlds seamlessly, enabling businesses to:

  • Maximize flexibility: Design solutions that are capable of running independently on cloud or on-premises matching performance, security, and cost considerations. Many businesses are trapped in cloud ecosystems that limit their ability to migrate workloads easily. This lack of portability forces organizations to seek multi-cloud or hybrid strategies to avoid dependency on a single provider.
  • Ensure business continuity: Hybrid setups provide redundancy, disaster recovery, and failover options to minimize downtime. Where we strongly believe running services in the cloud is good, as long as you have a copy of the data locally and better if you can recover and continue your business if needed
  • Optimize performance & cost: By strategically placing workloads in the most efficient environment, organizations can achieve superior performance while controlling expenses. Cloud services, initially seen as cost-effective, have become increasingly expensive. Many companies experience unpredictable costs due to data egress fees, scaling inefficiencies, and vendor pricing changes. Shifting workloads back on-premises or to hybrid environments provides more control over long-term expenses.
  • Enhance security & compliance: Hybrid data centers allow businesses to retain sensitive data on-premise while leveraging the scalability of the cloud for less critical workloads. Strict data protection regulations (such as GDPR in Europe) require businesses to retain control over their data. Hosting sensitive information on the cloud often involves legal complexities, pushing companies to repatriate their data to private or hybrid cloud solutions.

Companies now see hybrid cloud and modern on-premises solutions as a better balance between flexibility and control. Hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) and advanced private cloud solutions provide cloud-like agility with the advantages of on-premises resilience.

By integrating hybrid data center strategies into our solutions, RNT Rausch empowers businesses with the agility, resilience, and cost-efficiency they need to stay competitive in an evolving IT landscape.

Custom engineering for maximum efficiency

Unlike off-the-shelf products, RNT Rausch designs and builds systems tailored to individual business environments. Our engineering team optimizes hardware configurations matching the software requirements to provide:

  • Data security & protection: Customized storage solutions that integrate encryption, redundancy, and compliance with industry regulations.
  • Backup & disaster recovery: Scalable backup solutions designed to protect critical data while minimizing downtime and recovery times.
  • High-performance compute (HPC) & storage: Tailored server and storage systems designed for high-speed data access and processing efficiency.
  • Edge & data center computing: Solutions that align with modern cloud and hybrid architectures, ensuring seamless operations and scalability.
  • Modular immersion cooling: Advanced cooling solutions that enhance energy efficiency and extend hardware longevity by reducing thermal stress on components.

Example: Calculating S3 object storage requirements

One of the biggest challenges businesses faces is understanding the difference between their expectations for IT needs and the actual resources required to meet those expectations. Many assume, “IT is like utilities” – you always have water and power available at home and on your demand. Cloud services facilitate this kind of expectation with their unlimited scalable capabilities with costs per usage.

However, there is a fundament needed calculating some overhead to meet the business requirements. When planning an on-premise solution similar to AWS S3, it is essential to determine the necessary hardware requirements based on object count and storage capacity.

For example, if a business needs to store 1 million objects with a total capacity of 75TB, the hardware requirements has to be designed as follows:

  • Storage capacity: Since object storage systems use erasure coding or replication for data protection, a 3x replication strategy would require approximately 225TB of raw storage capacity.
  • Drive selection: Using 16TB enterprise-grade HDDs, approximately 15 drives (with additional space for overhead and expansion) would be required.
  • Compute nodes: A typical object storage solution requires at least 3-5 nodes for redundancy and high availability.
  • Networking: A high-speed 10GbE or 25GbE network is recommended to ensure efficient access to stored objects.
  • Metadata management: Object metadata needs to be indexed efficiently, so a system with adequate memory (e.g., 128GB RAM per node) and processing power is crucial.

By designing storage solutions tailored to these requirements, RNT Rausch ensures businesses have reliable, scalable, and cost-effective infrastructure to handle their data growth.

Precision assembly and quality assurance

At RNT Rausch, our commitment to quality extends beyond design and engineering—we ensure that every system is meticulously assembled and rigorously tested before shipping. Our manufacturing process follows strict quality control measures to guarantee reliability and performance:

  • Component selection: We use only high-quality, enterprise-grade hardware components.
  • Assembly precision: Each system is carefully assembled by skilled technicians to ensure proper configuration and durability.
  • Comprehensive testing: Every unit undergoes extensive hardware and software testing, including performance benchmarking, stress tests, and compatibility checks.
  • Final inspection & certification: Before shipping, all systems pass through a final quality check, ensuring they meet our high standards for reliability and performance.

This meticulous approach ensures that our customers receive solutions that are not only tailored to their needs but also tested for maximum efficiency and longevity.
