GraphStream Company Information
 

 
GraphStream Incorporated is a privately-held corporation with headquarters in Belmont, CA, USA.

GraphStream is a supplier of fully integrated, modular, scalable computer systems and associated services. GraphStream Scalable Computing Platform (SCP) systems are based exclusively on mainstream open-standard architecture and Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components.

SCP systems are optimized to support the most advanced technical and visual computing applications in energy, finance, manufacturing, media, medicine, national security, and science. Each SCP system is built to order and is configured in straightforward building-block fashion, using a set of standard rackmount module designs.

GraphStream's business, marketing, engineering, and support leadership includes alumni from Silicon Graphics, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and other pioneering suppliers of modular, scalable computer systems.

GraphStream was immediately profitable in the very first quarter beginning with our founding in 2003, and has been consistently profitable in every quarter since then.

Key elements of GraphStream's business model are as follows:
 

Operate the business as efficiently as possible, in order to enable highly competitive pricing for every single product and service that we offer. Take advantage of every available opportunity to maximize efficiency.

Design, build, sell, and support cost-efficient modular scalable computer systems based on open-standard architecture and COTS components.

Offer standardized rackmount modules based on a highly selective menu of specific COTS component designs (e.g., server mainboards). Get to know these designs very well (including workarounds for known problems), and support them well.

Select each offered COTS component design based on highest quality and a balance between performance and cost that is efficient and appropriate for our customers' applications.

Work in close partnership with COTS component suppliers, to help tailor their most advanced designs for efficient application in GraphStream systems.

Maximize the efficiency of the COTS component supply chain by purchasing in bulk directly from manufacturers, thereby eliminating layers of distribution overhead.

Perform all top-level system design and support functions in-house, in order to maintain direct control over the quality of the customer experience.

Outsource assembly and logistics operations to a manufacturing partner with first-class high-capacity ISO-certified facilities and global reach. Manufacture GraphStream products alongside enterprise-class "Tier-1" computer system products, using the same facilities. Minimize unnecessary costs by avoiding any investment in infrastructure that is redundant with our partners' facilities. Operate on a maximally efficient build-to-order model.

Communicate clearly with each prospective customer to set expectations accurately about the capabilities and also the limitations of GraphStream systems.

Beyond the basic SCP platform, offer useful additional products and systems-engineering services to customers who want them.

Provide superior-quality pre-sale configuration advice to customers who request it. Work closely with these customers to design cost-efficient system configurations, helping to ensure that each dollar will be spent where it will do the most good.

Never include in any proposal any extra-cost products, services, or "solutions" that the customer does not need or want.
