Built · Racked · Running
Lockedown specifies and assembles custom server hardware and complete rack systems — then hosts them in our space, or delivers them to yours. No catalogue SKUs, no rack that only makes sense to the person who wired it.
What we build
Most jobs are one of these. Plenty are all three, in order.
Specified around the workload rather than a catalogue line. Chassis, CPU, memory, storage and networking chosen for what the machine actually has to do — then assembled, firmware-levelled and burned in under load before it goes anywhere.
Full cabinet integration: rails, power distribution, switching, structured cable management and labelling that matches a documented elevation. The test is whether someone who didn't build it can service it at 2 a.m.
Leave the hardware with us. Power, cooling, connectivity and hands on site, with out-of-band management access so you can reach the box, reload it or power-cycle it without making the drive.
Inside the hall
A request arrives on the ingress side, lands on a machine, gets handled, and leaves. Multiply it across a cabinet row and that is what a working hall looks like from above.
How a build runs
You know the parts list and the price before anything is ordered, and you get the rack elevation when it ships.
We work through the workload, the growth you expect and the budget, and come back with a parts list and a number. Nothing is ordered until you've signed off on it.
Assembled, firmware levelled, and run under sustained load long enough that a weak part fails on our bench instead of in your production window.
Mounted, powered, cabled and labelled to a documented elevation — power, network and console paths all traceable without pulling the cabinet apart.
Hosted here on our power and connectivity, or crated and delivered to your site. Either way it leaves this building already running.
Capability
Scope by request — if what you need isn't on this list, ask.
| Form factors | 1U through 4U rackmount, tower, and full-cabinet builds |
|---|---|
| Storage | SATA, SAS and NVMe; hot-swap bays, JBOD expansion, hardware or software RAID |
| Networking | 1G, 10G and 25G, copper or fibre; redundant uplinks and separate management paths |
| Power | Redundant supplies, A/B feed–ready distribution, metered PDU options |
| Management | Out-of-band controller on every build — console, power and media redirection |
| Cabinets | Full and partial racks, shared or dedicated, with lockable front and rear doors |
| On site | Remote hands for reboots, media swaps, recabling and part replacement |
Next step
A workload, a rough budget and a date is enough to start. We'll come back with a spec and a price.
