Working with Us
How We Help.
Alces Flight is guided by a simple principle:
Decisions persist beyond platforms, funding cycles, and teams.
We help organisations make infrastructure decisions with intent and long-term awareness.
Alces Flight is where conversations begin. It is the place to explore context and direction before any deeper engagement.
Who We Are.
Alces Flight helps organisations navigate decisions in High Performance Computing and Artificial Intelligence, especially where those decisions carry long term technical and organisational consequences.
We focus on how HPC and AI systems are designed, operated, and sustained over time. Our role is to surface constraints, clarify trade offs, and strengthen judgement before commitments are made.
Alces Flight does not start with a selling position. It is space for framing and clarification, often before a project has been formally defined.
Two Paths for Working with Us.
While conversations often begin with us, our engagement and delivery typically follows one of two paths. Both are guided by a shared aim:
To leave supercomputing systems, and the organisations that rely on them, better than we found them.
An analogy we like to use is that Alces Flight serves as a referral layer for those seeking ‘insurance’ as well as assurance on how they wish to approach building, managing, and running a supercomputing solution. When you work with us, we make sure you start on the right path.
ConcertIM.
ConcertIM provides subscriptions to managed services and tooling for HPC and AI clusters and their supporting environments.
This path is typically relevant where supercomputing capability is best approached as a service, with a focus on reliability, repeatability, and long-term operational responsibility. It supports organisations that wish to operate production systems without owning every aspect of day-to-day operation.
This path is a good fit when:
Operational predictability matters more than customisation
Shared responsibility is appropriate
Subscription-based services align with organisational requirements
Long-term stability is a priority
Alces Software
Alces Software provides consulting and advisory support across architecture, operations, and the evolution of supercomputing systems.
This work is most relevant when requirements are novel, transitional, or not yet clearly defined, such as during major platform changes, the introduction of new capabilities, or broader organisational shifts.
This path is a good fit when:
requirements are still forming or changing
independent judgement is required
trade-offs need to be explored rather than predefined
organisational alignment matters as much as technical outcomes
Engagement
Conversations begin with Alces Flight, but they are not routed automatically. We take time to understand intent before involving other parts of the group.
Some organisations work with more than one part of the Alces Group over time. Where this happens, it is a guided choice rather than an assumed one.
