Global IT Consulting

Infrastructure that holds.
Operations that scale.

Cognits designs, migrates, secures and runs the systems your business depends on — from the rack in the data centre to the model in production. One engineering team, four locations, round-the-clock cover.

01

Build it right

Data centres, networks and cloud landing zones designed to a documented standard — not assembled by accident.

02

Move it safely

Server, application and data centre migrations planned wave by wave, with rollback at every gate.

03

Secure it

Hardening, vulnerability management and access reviews carried out against the infrastructure we actually run.

04

Run it

Automated, monitored and on call — with the runbooks, dashboards and evidence to prove it.

Services

Seven practices, one delivery team

Most consultancies stop at the diagram. We stay through the migration, the hardening, the automation and the 3 a.m. page. Engage a single practice or the whole stack.

01

Data Center & Infrastructure

The physical and virtual foundation — designed, built, documented and moved without losing a night's sleep.

  • Server installation and configuration
  • Network design and configuration
  • Switches, routers, firewalls
  • VLANs, routing, VPNs
  • Network monitoring
  • Storage systems
  • Virtualization — VMware / Hyper-V / Proxmox
  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Data center migration
  • Server migration
  • Application migration
  • Physical → virtual migration
  • On-premises → cloud migration
  • Data center relocation
  • Infrastructure documentation
  • High availability and redundancy
  • Capacity planning
  • Hardware lifecycle management
02

Cloud & Cloud Security

AWS and Azure done properly the first time — landing zones, identity and guardrails before the workloads land.

  • AWS / Azure infrastructure
  • Cloud migration
  • Cloud architecture
  • IAM and access management
  • Network security
  • Cloud hardening
  • Security monitoring
  • Backup and disaster recovery
  • Cost optimization
03

Infrastructure Automation / DevOps

Everything reproducible from code. If it was clicked in a console once, it gets written down as Terraform or Ansible.

  • Terraform — Infrastructure as Code
  • Ansible — configuration and deployment
  • Python — automation and tooling
  • Linux administration
  • Automated server provisioning
  • Automated patching
  • CI/CD
  • Infrastructure monitoring
  • Configuration management
04

Cybersecurity

Assessment through remediation. We find the exposure, fix it, and leave you the documentation to prove the fix held.

  • Infrastructure security assessment
  • Vulnerability assessment
  • Server hardening
  • Network security
  • Cloud security assessment
  • Security monitoring
  • Access-control reviews
  • Security architecture
  • Incident support
  • Security policies and documentation
Embedded
05

Forward Deployed Engineering

Engineers embedded in your team, in your codebase, on your problem — building the integration nobody else will own.

  • Embedded engineers inside your team
  • Technical discovery and solution design
  • Rapid prototype to production
  • Custom integrations with internal systems
  • Data pipeline and API development
  • AI and LLM application delivery
  • Workflow and process automation
  • Legacy system interfacing
  • Onsite, hybrid or remote placement
  • Handover, runbooks and enablement
06

MLOps

The unglamorous half of machine learning: getting models off the laptop and keeping them honest in production.

  • ML platform design — SageMaker, Azure ML, Kubeflow
  • Training and deployment pipelines
  • Feature stores and data versioning
  • Model registry and experiment tracking
  • CI/CD for models
  • Drift, performance and quality monitoring
  • GPU infrastructure and capacity planning
  • LLMOps — RAG, evaluation, guardrails
  • Inference cost and latency optimization
  • Model governance and audit documentation
Managed
07

Cloud Ops

Day-two ownership. Monitoring, patching, incidents and cost — run to an SLA across three time zones.

  • 24×7 monitoring and alerting
  • Incident response and on-call
  • Managed AWS / Azure operations
  • Patching and OS lifecycle
  • Backup verification and DR drills
  • Observability — metrics, logs, traces
  • Change and release management
  • Cost governance and FinOps reporting
  • Capacity and performance management
  • Runbooks and service reporting
How we work

Assess. Design. Migrate. Operate.

The same four gates on every engagement, whether it's a single firewall replacement or a full data centre exit. Nothing moves to the next gate without documentation.

PHASE 01

Assess

Discovery of what you actually have — inventory, dependencies, risk and cost. You get the map even if you stop here.

PHASE 02

Design

Target architecture, security model and migration waves, agreed on paper before a single change window opens.

PHASE 03

Migrate

Executed wave by wave with pilots, rollback plans and cutover runbooks. Evidence captured at each gate.

PHASE 04

Operate

Monitored, automated and supported — or handed over cleanly to your team with the documentation to run it.

Engagement model

Project

Fixed scope, fixed outcome. A migration, an assessment, a landing zone, a hardening programme — defined, delivered, documented.

Engagement model

Embedded

Our engineers inside your team for a defined term. Forward deployed engineering, platform build-out, or capability transfer.

Engagement model

Managed

We hold the pager. Cloud Ops and infrastructure support to an agreed SLA, with monthly service and cost reporting.

Locations

Four offices. One team.

Local presence where the client is, engineering depth where it scales, and enough overlap between the three to cover a working day anywhere.

Germany

Frankfurt

FRA

Our EU delivery hub. Data-residency-sensitive workloads, GDPR-aligned architecture and DACH enterprise engagements — with the region's densest data centre corridor on the doorstep.

EU data residencyGDPRData centreManufacturing

London

LON

Client engagement and advisory for the UK and Ireland. Security assessment, cloud strategy and regulated-industry work where the conversation needs to happen in the room.

Hyderabad

HYD

The engineering and operations centre. Automation, the migration factory and 24×7 monitoring — the depth of bench that makes round-the-clock cover affordable rather than theoretical.

SFO

North American delivery and our cloud and AI practice. Forward deployed engineering, MLOps and the platform work that starts as a prototype and has to survive contact with production.

Follow-the-sun, not follow-the-handoff

Hyderabad opens the day, Frankfurt and London carry the European window, San Francisco closes it. Every shift works the same tickets, the same runbooks and the same infrastructure-as-code repository — so an incident raised at 02:00 in one region is picked up by an engineer who already knows the estate.

Why Cognits

Consultants who stay for the cutover

Full stack, one accountability

The rack, the network, the cloud account, the pipeline and the model sit with one team. No finger-pointing between the infrastructure vendor and the platform vendor when something breaks at the seam.

Everything written down

Infrastructure documentation is a deliverable, not an afterthought. Diagrams, runbooks, IaC repositories and decision records come with the work — including when you take it back in-house.

Security is not a separate line item

Hardening, access control and monitoring are designed into the build, then verified by the same people who have to operate it. Assessment findings arrive with a remediation plan attached.

Automation by default

Provisioning, patching and configuration are code from day one. It costs a little more up front and removes an entire category of 3 a.m. surprises afterwards.

Global cost, local presence

Engagement and architecture in your time zone and your language; delivery and operations engineered at scale from Hyderabad. You get the economics without the offshore handoff.

Ready for what's next

The same discipline that moves a data centre now provisions GPU capacity, ships RAG pipelines and monitors model drift. AI workloads are infrastructure problems before they are anything else.

Contact

Tell us what's breaking

A migration you can't schedule, a cloud bill nobody can explain, an audit finding with a deadline on it. Describe the problem and we'll put the right engineer on the call — not a salesperson.
