Critical Infrastructure

Continuity for Systems That Must Stay Available

Energy, utilities, telecommunications, transport, and logistics operators depend on digital systems that cannot fail quietly. Silicate Labs operates those systems under continuous monitoring, with defined responsibilities for every failure and every change.

The Challenge

What Holds Critical Infrastructure Organizations Back

Failures Found by Customers

Outages are reported by the people affected, long after a system first began to degrade.

Asset Records Out of Step

Asset, supplier, and shipment records disagree across systems, so decisions rest on reconciliation rather than fact.

Unclear Ownership in an Incident

When something fails, no one is sure who investigates, who decides, and who informs those affected.

How It Works

Operated Where Your Systems Need to Run

Managed operation is available on our infrastructure or inside yours, with the same monitoring and response either way.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT You use it We operate

Managed on Your Infrastructure

Silicate Labs operates the system inside your environment; the data stays within your perimeter.

YOUR ENVIRONMENT You operate We support

Self-Hosted

Your team operates the system on your own servers, with engineering support from Silicate Labs.

OUR INFRASTRUCTURE We operate You use it

Managed by Silicate Labs

We host and operate the system, so your team uses it without running infrastructure.

Engagement

How an Engagement Runs

Scope

We agree in writing the systems to be operated, their location, responsibilities, backup schedule, and response commitments.

Deploy & Verify

We connect monitoring, test failure scenarios, and verify that backups restore correctly.

Operate & Review

We monitor, patch, back up, and respond to incidents, and review health and capacity with you on a schedule.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions critical infrastructure teams ask most often. For anything else, our engineering team responds within one business day.

What does monitoring cover?

Automated checks every five minutes, with engineers alerted on any change in state. Results for our public services, including outages, are published on our status page.

Can you operate systems inside our network?

Yes. Under "Managed on Your Infrastructure", Silicate Labs operates the system within your environment while the data stays inside your perimeter.

How are incidents communicated?

When a check fails, our engineers investigate and keep you informed until normal operation is restored, and every action is recorded in the change log.

Is there an availability commitment?

Commitments are agreed per system and set out in your agreement, together with responsibilities for each failure scenario.

Delegate the Operation of Critical Systems

Share the systems you need operated and where they must run. We will respond with an operating plan and a quotation.
