Custom programs.
Engineered with you.

For hyperscale, sovereign cloud, and specialized HPC customers, T18 offers full custom platform engineering — bespoke chassis, firmware, thermals, and long-cycle roadmap commitments — from the Dubai design center.

01

Bespoke Chassis

Custom mechanical, backplane and I/O designs for hyperscale racks, sovereign cloud form factors, and unique thermal envelopes.

02

Firmware & Management

Custom BMC surfaces, in-region firmware key custody, and integration with your NOC and lifecycle management stack.

03

Thermal Engineering

Air, direct-liquid, and immersion-ready thermal solutions co-designed with your rack, aisle, and facility team.

01 — Program Phases

How a T18 custom program runs.

Phase 01

Discovery & Requirements

Two to four weeks of joint workshops with your infrastructure and workload teams to lock functional, thermal, power, and firmware requirements.

Phase 02

Reference Design

A T18 engineering pod builds the reference design — mechanical, electrical, firmware architecture — and reviews with your team at defined checkpoints.

Phase 03

Prototype & Validation

Prototype builds run through the T18 thermal chamber, EMC lab, and firmware validation harness. Test reports delivered against your acceptance criteria.

Phase 04

Pilot Deployment

A limited pilot lands in your production environment for burn-in and operational sign-off before full production ramp.

Phase 05

Production & Sustain

Full production ramp with committed lead times, plus a sustaining engineering commitment for the program lifecycle (typically 5–10 years).

02 — Recent Programs
