CASE IN BRIEF

Grand Canyon University

Higher Education · Research

Designed and Deployed the Pronghorn HPC Cluster

The Problem

GCU had research faculty and student teams doing computationally intensive work with no dedicated infrastructure to support it. Jobs were running on workstations, timelines were bottlenecked by hardware, and there was no path to scale without building something from the ground up.

What We Built

A production HPC cluster designed, cabled, configured, and deployed by the Westwind founding team. The build included bare-metal node provisioning, high-speed interconnects, shared storage architecture, and a job scheduling layer capable of handling concurrent multi-user workloads. We wrote the operational documentation, established monitoring, and stayed on as the technical point of contact post-deployment.

The Outcome
  • Research and student workloads moved off workstations onto dedicated, scalable compute infrastructure
  • Cluster reached production operation within the project timeline, with no post-deployment rebuilds
  • GCU backed the team that built it, becoming the foundation of Westwind Consulting Group

The Outcome
  • Smooth execution with positive client feedback
  • 40+ workstations configured and deployed
  • Process improvements documented for future scalability
CASE IN BRIEF

RSMD

Medical · Capitola, CA

Designed a HIPAA-Compliant Network in One Week

The Problem

A medical practice needed a complete IT network and audio system designed and deployed from scratch within a one-week timeline.

What We Built

We designed a HIPAA-compliant network architecture from the ground up, with patient data security at the forefront of every decision. We procured and installed all equipment, configured secure VLANs to segregate clinical and guest traffic, implemented encrypted wireless coverage, and deployed a full Sonos speaker system with iPad-based controls for staff.

The Outcome
  • Fully operational network and audio system in one week
  • Reliable connectivity with zero downtime
  • Simple iPad workflow for staff to control audio zones
CASE IN BRIEF

Retail · Dublin, CA

Built a Complete IT Foundation for a Grand Reopening

The Problem

What We Built

We designed and implemented a tailored IT infrastructure including hardware procurement, ISP services, and data management systems. The engagement covered complete building blueprinting for Ethernet drops, electrical, and server room setup, giving the store a foundation built to expand as the business grows.

The Outcome
  • Full IT infrastructure deployed before grand reopening
