Data Storage

"Data is your gold." We treat it that way.

When selecting the storage systems we represent, we started with one question: what would we use for our data? We don't offer every manufacturer — we chose a few of the best, most resilient platforms available. We work with companies at 100 TB and above, every platform starts with 100% uptime, and all provide ransomware protection.

Security

Twenty years to build a reputation. Minutes to ruin it.

Data-centric security protects the data itself — not just the networks, servers, and applications around it — relating security services directly to the assets they protect and to your business strategy.

Network security layers multiple defenses against threats inside and outside your network: authorized users get access; malicious actors get stopped. NSG is one of Houston's most trusted sources for security solutions for small, medium, and enterprise businesses.

  • EVERY 24 SEC — a host accesses a malicious website
  • EVERY 34 SEC — an unknown malware is downloaded
  • EVERY 1 MIN — a bot calls its command & control center
  • EVERY 5 MIN — a high-risk application is used
  • EVERY 6 MIN — a known malware is downloaded
  • EVERY 36 MIN — sensitive data leaves the organization
HPC by Industry

High-performance computing, where it counts.

Clusters aggregate computing power to deliver performance no single workstation can — with processing speed, flexibility, high availability, and COTS cost efficiency. Technology advances now put a 2–64 node cluster within reach of small and mid-size organizations.

HPC cluster illustration

Oil & Gas

Seismic interpretation, high-resolution subsurface maps, reservoir simulation, and 3D visualization — no longer reserved for the majors.

$ Finance

Risk and market analysis, high-frequency trading, securities valuation, fraud detection, and regulatory workloads (SOX and beyond).

+ Life Sciences

Molecular modeling, genomics and sequencing, simulation, and the data management that bioinformatics demands.

Engineering

Digital models against simulated physics: fluid dynamics, structural mechanics, design and testing — from snack packaging to aerospace.

Public Safety

First responders, weather warning systems, transportation, and disaster preparedness — powered by historical patterns and predictive analytics.

Academia

Aerodynamics to climatology, quantum mechanics to cryptology — research computing across every discipline.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a megatrend.

It's moving from nice-to-have to need-to-have in the data center. For the first time, C-level goal-setting is meeting bottom-up pressure from employees — we've reached the tipping point.

NSG specializes in Sustainable IT Infrastructure — including immersion and radiator-cooled servers and green storage. We can assess where you are in your sustainability journey and build a roadmap to your goals, identifying the areas of most significant impact. It isn't only the right thing; it's smart business.

Enterprise IT oversight

Life-cycle asset management

Life-cycle asset management is a critical yet often overlooked part of enterprise infrastructure oversight. For organizations managing IT assets at scale, reducing equipment failures and preventing data loss are top priorities- and the costs of getting either wrong can be significant.

Equally important is the proper disposition of retired or out-to-warranty assets. NordStar Group manages the process end-to-end - safeguarding your intellectual property and client data while ensuring disposal practices meet or exceed EPA standards and regulatory requirements.

Data Platforms

NordStar Group was building distributed data infrastructure well before the current AI wave — the same storage, scheduling, and throughput problems that AI training clusters face today, a decade earlier.

  • Hadoop — distributed storage and batch compute (Apache Software Foundation — still open source)
  • Cloudera & Hortonworks — cluster platform and management (merged 2019 — private under KKR & CD&R)
  • Pentaho — data integration and ETL pipelines (now LEO Software — Constellation Software)
  • Splunk — operational telemetry at scale (now Cisco)
  • That lineage carries directly into our AI infrastructure work today

Let's find the right solution.

Individualized solutions for unique requirements — there is no one-size-fits-all.
