Overview

One integrated system, not a pallet of boxes

Multi-vendor projects arrive as separate boxes from separate OEMs and leave your loading dock as one working system. Uniqcli racks, stacks, images and kits hardware from any vendor in our integration facility, burns it in, and ships it deployment-ready — so your team racks it once, on install day, not twice.

How we work

Integration before it ships, not after

We take delivery of hardware from every vendor in the bill of materials, physically rack and cable it to your elevation diagram, load images and configurations, and run it through burn-in before it's boxed for shipment.

Asset tags, serial numbers and configuration records are captured at integration time and handed over as a structured inventory — so your receiving team reconciles against a manifest instead of unboxing and cataloging equipment on site.

  • Multi-vendor rack and cable builds to elevation diagrams
  • OS imaging, firmware baseline and configuration staging
  • Burn-in testing before shipment
  • Asset tagging and serialized inventory handoff

The work in depth

OEM integration, stage by stage

The point of integration is that the first time your system is assembled is not on install day — it is before shipment, where a problem is a work order, not a site delay.

Rack & cable integration

Three open server racks at different build stages with cable spools and a labeling station.

Racks are built to your elevation and cabling diagrams, unit by unit, with power and data cabling cut to length, labeled at both ends, and dressed the way it will live so nothing has to be re-run in the field. Because the assembly happens on the bench rather than in a live aisle, the rack that ships is the rack you drew — not an approximation a field crew has to reproduce under time pressure on install day.

Third-party hardware you've already purchased is received into the same build, so a rack can combine units we sourced with units drop-shipped from elsewhere without anyone cataloging boxes on your dock.

  • Multi-vendor rack and cable builds to elevation diagrams
  • Cabling labeled, dressed and routed to the design
  • Third-party and drop-shipped hardware received into the build
  • Racks prepared for transit-rated shipment

Imaging & configuration staging

Benches of blank-bezel servers cabled into a central provisioning rack beside a KVM cart.

Units ship configured, not factory-default. We load your OS images, firmware versions and configuration files, then validate against your baseline so what powers on at the site is already at the standard your program requires.

Because configuration happens once, centrally, a fleet arrives consistent — the fiftieth unit matches the first, and the drift that comes from configuring gear one rack at a time in the field never starts.

  • OS imaging and firmware baseline before shipment
  • Configuration files loaded and validated to your standard
  • Fleet-wide consistency across every unit in the order
  • Golden-image capture where a repeatable baseline is required

Interoperability & burn-in

The failure mode integration is meant to prevent isn't a bad unit — it's two good units from two different vendors that don't talk to each other correctly until someone finds out on site. We connect the full system in our facility and validate the interfaces that matter to your design: management-network reachability, power sequencing, firmware compatibility.

Burn-in exercises the assembled system long enough to surface the early failures that otherwise show up in the first week of deployment, so infant mortality happens on our bench, not in your install window.

  • Full-system interoperability validation across vendor lines
  • Management-network, power-sequencing and firmware checks
  • Burn-in to surface early-life failures before shipment
  • Findings resolved as a work order, not a site delay

Asset records & staged release

Numbered transit rack cases and shrink-wrapped pallets staged in lanes for release.

Every unit is logged as it moves through integration, not reconstructed afterward — the asset tag applied, the serial read, the loaded image and firmware level recorded against that serial, and its rack position noted. The program receives a manifest it can load straight into an asset-management system, so property accountability begins at delivery rather than after a week of clipboard work on site.

For programs with staged rollouts, we hold configured, tested equipment in our facility and release it to your schedule, so site teams receive exactly what the install plan calls for, in the order the install plan calls for it.

  • Asset tagging with serialized inventory handoff
  • Chain-of-custody records from receipt to delivery
  • Configured equipment held and released to your schedule
  • Per-site kitting for phased, multi-location rollouts

Frequently asked

Can you integrate hardware from vendors we've already purchased separately?

Yes. Send us the bill of materials and where units are being shipped from — we can receive third-party hardware into our facility for integration alongside anything we source directly.

Do you image and configure to our specific baseline?

Yes. We load your OS images, firmware versions and configuration files and validate against your baseline before burn-in, rather than shipping factory-default units.

How is the equipment packaged for shipment?

Racked units ship in transit-rated rack cases with cabling labeled and coiled to the rack; individual kits are boxed with an asset manifest per box.

Can you hold integrated equipment and release it on a phased schedule?

Yes. Configured, tested equipment can be staged and released per site to your install calendar, so a regional rollout ships as numbered, repeatable bundles rather than all at once. Site teams receive what the install plan calls for, in the order it calls for it.

What asset and chain-of-custody records come with the delivery?

Serial numbers, asset tags and configuration records are captured at integration time and delivered as a structured inventory manifest, with chain-of-custody documentation from receipt through delivery. Your receiving team reconciles against the manifest instead of cataloging equipment on site.
