AI server setup, server migration and databases

AI servers, cloud setup and migrations, done without the downtime.

Pyalm sets up servers for AI models and applications, moves your websites, apps and databases to better hosting without losing data, and helps you choose the right cloud and database provider for cost, speed and data residency.

Business outcomes

AI you control

Run open-source models on your own servers when data can't leave your environment.

Migrations without surprises

Planned cut-overs, full backups and rollback plans, so moving servers doesn't mean losing data or customers.

The right infrastructure for the job

Hosting and databases sized for your traffic, budget and data-residency needs, not overpaid or under-powered.

What we can deliver

A complete, usable solution—not an isolated feature.

  • AI server setup for self-hosted LLMs and AI applications (GPU or CPU)
  • Model serving with Ollama, vLLM or similar, behind a secure API
  • Server, hosting and cloud migrations (shared hosting, VPS, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
  • Database migration and managed database setup (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB)
  • Cloud and database provider selection, including UAE data residency
  • Docker, CI/CD, backups, monitoring and alerts
  • Security hardening, SSL, firewalls and access control
  • Cost review and right-sizing of existing cloud spend

AI server setup: run models on your own infrastructure

Public AI APIs are the fastest way to start, but some businesses can't send customer, financial or health data to a third party. We set up self-hosted AI servers running open-source models, served through an API your applications can call, with authentication, logging and monitoring.

We size the hardware to the model and the workload, from CPU servers for small models to cloud GPU instances for larger ones, and help you weigh renting cloud GPUs against buying hardware. Read how to set up an AI server for self-hosted LLMs.

Server migration without downtime

Most migrations go wrong because of something nobody listed: an email setting, a cron job, a hard-coded path or a DNS record. We inventory everything first, take full backups, rehearse the migration, lower DNS TTLs in advance and cut over in a quiet window with a tested rollback plan. Read the server migration checklist.

Choosing a database and cloud provider

Managed databases from AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Supabase, Neon, MongoDB Atlas and others all work, but they differ in cost, scaling, backups, regions and lock-in. For UAE businesses, data residency matters too: AWS, Microsoft Azure and Oracle all operate UAE cloud regions. See database hosting providers compared and cloud hosting in the UAE.

Delivery approach

Clear decisions from discovery through improvement.

Scope, evidence, and ownership remain visible throughout the project so the finished system can be operated—not just demonstrated.

01

Assess

Review your current setup, data, traffic, risks and requirements, including data residency.

02

Plan

Choose providers, size servers, design the architecture and write the migration or setup plan.

03

Build & move

Set up infrastructure, migrate data with backups and test before the cut-over.

04

Operate

Monitoring, backups, security updates and support after go-live.

Frequently asked

What to know before we begin.

Can you set up an AI model on our own server?

Yes. We deploy open-source models on your cloud account or hardware, expose them through a secure API, and add logging, monitoring and access control.

Do we need a GPU?

It depends on the model size, speed and number of users. Small models can run on CPU; larger models and many concurrent users need GPUs. We size it before you spend.

Will a migration cause downtime?

Most migrations can be done with little or no visible downtime by preparing the new server in advance, syncing data and switching DNS in a planned window with a rollback option.

Can you move us to a UAE data centre?

Yes. We can migrate workloads to UAE cloud regions offered by major providers when data residency is a requirement.

Do you offer ongoing server management?

Yes. Monitoring, backups, updates, security patches and support are available as a monthly service after setup or migration.
