Praxis

Expertise, on call.

A machine is only worth the science it enables. Praxis is the human layer, resident engineers, scientific software and managed operations that turn a working cluster into working discovery.

9 service levels
Resident scientists
Day 1 frameworks
24h SRE on call
What you actually buy

The atelier, not just the artist.

Every Praxis tier carries the same three commitments. Expertise is embedded and enduring, not a slide of logos and a farewell.

The people

Engineers who speak your field

Domain scientists and HPC engineers embedded beside your team, not a ticket queue in another timezone.

The software

Science made portable

We port, containerize and optimize your codes so they run, and keep running, at scale.

The operation

We stay until it sings

Managed operations and SRE that keep the science running long after the racks are installed.

Nine levels, one practice

From a first advisory call to fully managed science.

One continuous relationship. Engage as lightly or deeply as the mission needs; the same people stay in the loop as it grows.

The customer chooses how far ARETE goes. Because it is a service level and not a product, the choice is theirs.

Deploy

Rack & stack and commissioning. Ready to operate.

  1. Level 0

    Deployment

    Rack & stack: receiving, assembly, structured cabling, labelling, photographic documentation, power-up, POST. Does not touch the operating system.

  2. Level 1

    Commissioning

    OS, firmware, BIOS/BMC, InfiniBand, Ethernet and IPMI, Lustre/NFS, Slurm, LDAP, backup, monitoring, fabric tuning and acceptance testing. Delivers the system ready to operate.

Advise & build

Research objective → architecture → funding path. Architecture benchmarked against real science, and MLOps for reproducible science.

  1. Level 2

    Advisory

    From the research objective to the architecture, and from the architecture to the funding path.

  2. Level 3

    Architecture

    System and software architecture, benchmarked against the customer's real science.

  3. Level 4

    MLOps

    Pipelines, containers and schedulers, for reproducible science.

Operate & grow

includes CARE

Residency, ARETE Academy, 24/7 SRE and CARE.

  1. Level 5

    Residency

    A resident scientific team, embedded with the customer's group.

  2. Level 6

    Training ARETE Academy

    Hands-on NVIDIA DLI, CUDA and CUDA-Q, ARETE Academy.

  3. Level 7

    SRE

    Reliability, monitoring and 24/7 response.

  4. Level 8

    Managed Roadmap

    Fully managed operation.

Why it holds together

We don’t hand you the keys and leave.

Most integrators install hardware and disappear. Praxis is built so the expertise scales with you, from a first advisory call to fully managed operations, the same people stay in the loop.

ASSESS

Assess the science

We learn the research goal and the team, then chart the shortest credible path to results.

EMBED

Embed the team

Our scientists and engineers work beside yours, porting code, tuning pipelines, teaching as they go.

OPERATE

Operate for the long run

We keep the environment healthy and the science reproducible, at whatever depth you need.

“We stay until the science runs, and then until it sings.”

Praxis integrates the whole ring.

Praxis lives on HF, Factory, the integrating face, but its people reach across every domain to make the six faces one working system.
