Do you do on-site work?

Yes, for hardware installation, initial environment setup, and physical troubleshooting. On-site availability is in the US Northeast and Southeast. All ongoing operations are remote.

Can you operate VMware and Proxmox on the same engagement?

Yes. Mixed hypervisor environments are common. We manage them as a single operational scope with unified monitoring and consistent patching procedures.

Do you handle hardware procurement?

We advise on hardware selection and can facilitate procurement through our colocation partners. We do not mark up hardware -- the cost goes directly from the vendor to you.

What happens when hardware fails?

Hardware failure response is part of every retainer. We have spare-parts relationships at our colocation partners and documented escalation paths for next-business-day hardware replacement on critical systems.

Local Infrastructure -- On-premise, Edge & Air-gapped

Bare metal, on-premise, and hybrid edge for workloads where public cloud creates compliance, latency, or cost problems. We have operated on-premise environments since 2010 across healthcare, manufacturing, and regulated financial services.

What we operate

Bare metal procurement and racking at US and European colocation partners
VMware, Proxmox, and Hyper-V -- virtualization management and patching
Bare Linux deployments with full configuration management (Ansible, Salt)
Hybrid edge nodes that synchronize with cloud workloads at defined intervals
Air-gapped segments for regulated or classified workloads

On-site availability for hardware installations in the US Northeast and Southeast. All ongoing operations are delivered remotely.

The workloads that do not belong in public cloud get operated with cloud-grade discipline on hardware you already own or control.

Why teams choose Cobham for local infrastructure

On-premise operations experience since 2010. Across healthcare, manufacturing, and regulated finance, not a cloud shop learning hardware.
Full configuration management from day one. Ansible or Salt, not manual changes no one can reproduce later.
On-site where it matters. Installation coverage in the US Northeast and Southeast, with ongoing operations delivered remotely.

How we engage

Principal-led. Fixed-scope.

Every Local Infrastructure engagement is scoped before the contract is signed. Two principals. No subcontractors. No account managers between you and the work.

Discovery call

30 minutes. We map your current state, identify the constraints, and tell you what we would do first. No obligation and no invoice.

Scoped brief

A written brief defining deliverables, duration, and a fixed price. If we cannot define the output, we do not take the engagement.

Execution & handoff

Principal-delivered work with a documented handoff. Runbooks, IaC, and access handed to your team at close. You own everything.
