Green energy modeling, two months early.
The challenge
An energy consultancy needed distributed computing infrastructure to run large-scale green energy models — in the middle of a supply environment defined by hardware shortages and port restrictions. Their timeline assumed everything went right. Nothing about the market suggested it would.
Our approach
We leaned on the distribution channels we'd built through the shortage years: early access to equipment before general availability, alternate routing around congested ports, and staged delivery so integration work could start before the final pallet landed. Design, purchasing, and deployment ran as one coordinated schedule instead of three separate ones.
The outcome
The infrastructure went live more than two months ahead of the project timeline. The client's modeling team started producing results while their original plan still had hardware on the water.
