A custom black NAS, network switch and server infrastructure on a technical workbench

Hardware + infrastructure

Hardware built
around the data.

The physical system and the workflow around it, designed together.

From Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), Rooiko specifies custom NAS and server storage, business networking, backup and archive paths for Eastern Cape and South African organisations—and builds purpose-built appliances where a software-only answer is not enough.

01 / NAS + server systems

Storage is a workflow,
not just a box.

Rooiko plans the workload, capacity, network, permissions, resilience and lifecycle together. The system can support media, operational or enterprise datasets, on premises or as part of a hybrid environment.

PLAN

Workload + capacity

Current volume, growth, access patterns, performance targets and recovery requirements.

BUILD

NAS + server hardware

A practical configuration selected for the real workload rather than a generic specification.

CONNECT

Network + permissions

Clear access paths, team roles, remote needs and integration with the systems around it.

PROTECT

Backup + archive

Separate recovery copies, archive rules and a retrieval path people can actually operate.

CacheCLEAR removable-media safety appliance

02 / CacheCLEAR

A separate hardware
safety barrier.

CacheCLEAR accepts a camera card only when its signed CardFLOW ticket, organisation trust and live card facts agree. It creates and verifies a local cache, then rechecks the same physical card immediately before an authorised clear.

  • Signed CardFLOW and knkt.ko evidence
  • Verified local cache layer
  • Immediate pre-clear revalidation
  • Standard removable-media readers
  • Durable action receipts

CONTROLLED TESTING Availability is currently limited to approved testing organisations.

Hardware meets software

One operating system.
Across every layer.

Storage, appliances, software, databases, dashboards and monitoring are designed as one environment—so the infrastructure supports the workflow instead of becoming another disconnected part.
