Thinkmate integration engagements vary tremendously. A thoughtful analysis and comparison of multiple technologies that may be appropriate for specific deployments is vital. We are therefore relatively hardware and software agnostic. However, with nearly thirteen years of experience delivering mission critical solutions to a variety of markets, commonalities regarding which platforms and brands are most reliable have emerged. Thinkmate participates in and positions a variety of strategic alliances for consideration.

Depending upon a prospective Client's vertical system requirements, Thinkmate provides specific hardware, software and form-factor recommendations with essential information and facilities life-cycle planning as an integral part of this overall equation. Our OEM relationships are world class, and we invite strategic partners into due diligence dialogues with our customers to insure that aggregated, long-term technical options are fully addressed. From our largest global partnerships to niche middleware code, everything must gel.

Our core competency components include fully pre-racked, pre-wired, and pre-optimized clusters or grids; 32/64-bit AMD or Intel hardware platforms; rackmounted or blade form-factors; Linux, Windows or Grid operating environments; and high-performance interconnect switching fabrics.
