RetakeData / infrastructure practice
Take control of your Data
RetakeData helps infrastructure teams regain control of sensitive systems — observability, automation, virtualization, private cloud, and local AI. Designed and operated by a senior SRE with 10+ years on high-stakes platforms.

FULL-STACK CONTROL
01
What we do
On-prem, private-cloud, and hybrid infrastructure engineering. Observability, automation, virtualization, and private AI — for teams that need to keep sensitive workloads under their own control.
Infrastructure automation & IaC
Terraform multi-provider modules, Ansible, GitOps delivery pipelines, Consul and NetBox inventory. The automation that lets small teams operate at fleet scale.

Proxmox / Ceph / on-prem HA
100+ Proxmox nodes deployed with PXE automation. Storage backends including ZFS, NFS, SAN, NVMe-oF, and Ceph. Migrations from vSphere, HA cluster design.

Private AI for infrastructure teams
Some operational data should not leave your network: incidents, logs, runbooks, internal docs, and procedures. RetakeData builds local AI systems for those environments: vLLM model serving, private RAG pipelines, RBAC-aware assistants, and integrations with your existing Proxmox, observability, and documentation stack. No external API dependency for sensitive workflows, predictable costs, full data control.
