>>Data Fabric

Data is your new infrastructure. AI and analytics are only as good as the data that feeds them, yet today’s enterprises are overwhelmed by complexity. Text, image, voice, and sensor data are everywhere, but access, governance, and trust have not kept pace. The result is fragmentation: innovation slowed by silos, duplicated effort, and uncertainty over what can safely be used.

The Data Fabric for Intelligence changes that. It unifies structured and unstructured data into a single governed backbone: curated, discoverable, and ready for any workload. Built to support AI creativity and HPC precision alike, it transforms data from an operational burden into a strategic asset.

Where others centralise, we orchestrate. The TSL Data Fabric connects data intelligently across systems, enforcing lineage, access control, and policy at every point. Data remains within your governance, in your geography, and under your rules, yet is instantly available to the teams and applications that need it.

What it delivers

  • Unified access and control
    Connect structured and unstructured data through a single, policy-driven fabric that spans both on-premise and cloud environments.
  • AI and HPC readiness
    Deliver clean, curated data pipelines for AI training, inference, and scientific computing, complete with lineage and reproducibility.
  • Regulatory and sovereign confidence
    Maintain visibility into where data lives, who accesses it, and how it changes, ensuring compliance across jurisdictions.
  • Scalable, event-driven design
    Adapt to demand automatically, reducing both cost and environmental impact.

How it works

1. Discover and Map

We begin by identifying the data sources that matter most to your business. This includes cataloguing systems, assessing governance maturity, and mapping interdependencies. The result is a clear view of your data landscape and its readiness for connection.

2. Connect and Curate

Our orchestration layer integrates structured and unstructured sources under consistent policies. Metadata enrichment and tagging make data discoverable, trusted, and reusable across teams, creating a unified view without physical consolidation.

3. Secure and Govern

We embed security and compliance into every interaction, using encryption, role-based access, and continuous validation. Every action is logged, auditable, and aligned with your organisation’s policies.

4. Enable and Extend

Once the foundation is in place, we expose data through APIs and Fabric endpoints for analytics, AI, or simulation workloads. This is where integration meets innovation, allowing new applications to build on a trusted base.

5. Monitor and Optimise

Observability is built in from day one. Dashboards provide real-time insight into performance, cost, and sustainability. The fabric evolves with your needs, supporting ongoing improvement and governance refinement.

Why it matters

Most organisations do not suffer from a shortage of data, but from a shortage of control. The Data Fabric for Intelligence restores that control. It delivers a governed, scalable, and discoverable foundation that supports AI creativity, scientific research, and business innovation.

It is how Server Labs helps enterprises move from data chaos to data confidence — enabling speed without compromise and progress without loss of trust.

One fabric. Every format. All governed.

Additional services

For many organisations the Data Fabric solutions will provide all they need. But if you need additional support – we’ve got you covered. 
Choose from any or all of our five supporting services:

1. Needs assessment

If you have an existing Data Warehouse, (e.g. on premise) and are unclear on optimal parameters for your cloud Data Fabric design, we’ll analyse your current environment and recommend the optimal setup – including scale (min/max), CPU/GPU ratios, IOPs, networking, security, access controls and costs. We’ll review your workloads, define a range of use cases and review for benchmark speed and costs. We use the information to inform the configuration settings we apply when building your ultra compute service.

2. Security

We’ll advise you on industry best practice for security and implement tooling for access in a zero-trust paradigm for starters, movers and leavers. Where you have existing appropriate solutions we’ll use them, or we’ll recommend alternatives if needed, to ensure your sensitive data is protected with rigorous security frameworks and monitoring. We can extend the security posture beyond the core service to other environments that interact with your HPC service.

3. Data & Storage Optimisation

We can put in place solutions for high-throughput performance while managing access, retrieval speeds and cost. Our Ultra Compute environment can incorporate ultra-fast data tiers (Weka or Lustre FSx). We’ll ensure lightning-fast data transfer with high-speed networks optimised for HPC and ensure strong data gravity alignment to accelerate compute tasks.

4. Training and Enablement

If your teams need additional skills to master cloud HPC quickly and confidently, we’ll provide workshops and training for your HPC operations professionals (HPC maintenance, security, optimisation, financial management, policies, user management, and data management) and your HPC users (containerisation, coding for massively parallel computing and optimising scripts).

5. Managed HPC Services

Want someone else to manage your HPC environment? Leave it in our capable hands. We’ll keep your systems running smoothly with 24/7 expert support, proactive monitoring and optimisation, leaving you to focus on your research mission.

The Server Labs provided invaluable support to define and execute a smooth transition to AWS for many of GEL’s services. They take genuine responsibility for successful delivery and are a pleasure to work with.
