Macktez was engaged to architect a ground-up, zero-compromise infrastructure covering wired networking, wireless, compute, and storage. Every layer was designed with redundancy as a first-order constraint: redundant power, controllers, chassis, and paths throughout.

This performance is comparable to the local NVMe storage of a modern high-end workstation, delivered over a fully shared, enterprise-grade SAN.
