An infrastructure design firm that writes its reasoning down
Vakratron Systems designs data centre, disaster recovery, cloud, GPU and AI platforms for enterprises and government buyers. We are not tied to a vendor, we put our assumptions on paper, and we stay with a design until it is running and tested.
- 1Know the workload
- 2Write assumptions down
- 3Compare options
- 4Test and hand over
Most designs reach you through someone selling the hardware
That is not a criticism of vendors or integrators. It is simply how the market works: the people who design an infrastructure platform are often the same people who supply it, so the design leans towards what they sell.
The result is familiar. GPU clusters sized for a brochure rather than a workload. DR sites that have never been failed over. Private clouds with licence costs nobody modelled. Kubernetes where a few virtual machines would have done the job.
Vakratron sits on your side of the table. Our job is the design and whether it works for you: the right size, the right cost, and something your own team can run after we step back.
What we do, and what we will not do
We will
- Start from your workloads, data and constraints, and size from those.
- Compare at least two realistic options, with cost and risk for each.
- Write every sizing and cost assumption down, so your team can check it.
- Test failover, restores and load before handover, and share the results.
- Hand over documents and runbooks your own team can maintain.
We will not
- Recommend Kubernetes, fine-tuning or a second data centre when you do not need it.
- Tie a design to one vendor without showing you the alternative.
- Quote performance or recovery numbers we have not tested.
- Leave you with a platform only we can operate.
- Use your name, data or project in our marketing without written approval.
One senior architect, from first call to handover
Every engagement is led by a senior architect who stays with it throughout. They run the workshops, own the design and are the person you call when something does not add up. You meet them on the first call. Their background and relevant experience are shared with you directly once an NDA is in place.
Where a piece of work needs a specialist, for example facility power and cooling or a particular vendor platform, we tell you who is doing that part and in what role. You will never find an unknown subcontractor on your project.

Open →Private RAG architecture
How a document assistant is built so people only see answers from documents they are allowed to read.
Open →Do we need Kubernetes?
A short checker that gives an honest answer, including when the answer is no.
Open →Worked scenarios
Problem, design, architecture and results for common requirements, written end to end.
Open →Engagements, and what you get from each
| Engagement | When it fits | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture review | You have a design, a vendor proposal or a running platform and want an independent view. | A findings report: risks, gaps, what to fix first, and what can wait. |
| Design and sizing | You are planning something new: a GPU cluster, private cloud, DR site or AI platform. | HLD, LLD, sizing workings and a bill of quantities you can take to vendors. |
| Tender and RFP support | You are a government or PSU buyer writing a specification, or evaluating bids. | A vendor-neutral specification, evaluation criteria and a technical comparison of responses. |
| Build and migration oversight | The design is approved and a system integrator is building it. | Stage-by-stage checks, migration waves with a way back, and test sign-off. |
| DR readiness and testing | You have DR on paper but have not proved it recently. | A planned DR drill, measured recovery times, and a short list of fixes. |
Sectors where getting infrastructure wrong is expensive
Government and PSU
Specifications, evaluation support and data residency inside India.
Banking and insurance
DR to regulator expectations, private AI on sensitive documents.
Healthcare
Recovery tiers for clinical systems, records kept on-premises.
Manufacturing and energy
Plant and head-office systems, hybrid cloud, site resilience.
Education and research
Shared GPU capacity, fair scheduling between teams.
AI product companies
Right-sizing GPU spend, moving from API to self-hosted when it pays.
