DCS Global Solutions for Enterprise Compute

The specific capabilities DCS Global brings to compute deployments, from procurement through lifecycle management.

Executive Summary

Enterprise compute deployments require capabilities that span hardware procurement, deployment engineering, facility infrastructure, and ongoing lifecycle management. DCS Global provides all of these capabilities under a single contract: with OEM-authorized procurement, certified deployment engineers, and single-source accountability for the outcome.

Key Takeaways

  • DCS Global is authorized by Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro, and NVIDIA for compute hardware procurement.
  • Compute deployment includes rack-and-stack, firmware updates, OS installation, and integration testing.
  • GPU deployments include liquid cooling integration, NVLink fabric configuration, and NVIDIA AI Enterprise software.
  • Lifecycle management includes preventive maintenance, support contract management, and technology refresh planning.
  • Single-source accountability means one firm responsible for procurement, deployment, and ongoing operations.

Compute Procurement

OEM-authorized procurement for all major enterprise server platforms.

Multi-OEM Procurement

Single purchase order for hardware from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Supermicro, and NVIDIA. Eliminates the overhead of managing multiple OEM relationships.

GPU Hardware Allocation

NVIDIA GPU allocation through authorized OEM channels. Current lead time estimates and allocation management for H100/H200 deployments.

Configuration Validation

Configuration review against workload requirements before procurement. Prevents the most common configuration mistakes.

Authorized Reseller Status

OEM-authorized reseller for all hardware platforms. Full manufacturer warranty coverage on all hardware procured through DCS Global.

Compute Deployment

End-to-end deployment services from receiving through production cutover.

Rack-and-Stack

Physical installation of servers in racks, including cable management, labeling, and documentation.

Firmware and OS Deployment

Firmware updates to current versions, OS installation, and initial configuration. Automated deployment using PXE boot and configuration management tools.

Integration Testing

Performance benchmarking and integration testing before production deployment. Test reports delivered as project documentation.

Migration Support

Workload migration from legacy hardware to new hardware, with rollback procedures for each migration event.

GPU Infrastructure Solutions

Purpose-built deployment services for GPU compute infrastructure.

GPU Server Deployment

Specialized deployment for NVIDIA DGX, HGX, and OEM GPU servers. Includes NVLink fabric configuration and GPU health verification.

Liquid Cooling Integration

Direct-to-chip liquid cooling installation and integration for GPU deployments above 10 kW/rack.

AI Cluster Networking

High-density power distribution for GPU deployments. Redundant power paths to every rack. UPS and generator systems.

Cooling Infrastructure

In-row cooling, rear-door heat exchangers, and direct-to-chip liquid cooling for high-density compute deployments.

Network Infrastructure

Spine-leaf switching, high-speed interconnects, and out-of-band management networks.

Structured Cabling

Fiber and copper cabling infrastructure for compute deployments. Tested and certified to TIA-568 standards.

Lifecycle Management

Ongoing management to maintain compute performance and extend the lifecycle of the investment.

Preventive Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance for servers, including firmware updates, hardware health checks, and cleaning.

Support Contract Management

Management of OEM support contracts, including renewal tracking and escalation for critical failures.
