Can anyone put together a server like this?

Of course, we create, use, maintain and contribute to the open source technologies that are part of this solution. If we can do it then anyone can, but there is no precedent of the same as yet that is available in the public domain and hence we clearly doubt that it will be this well made.

  • But we also know that even if someone were to start making it today, our contributions to the core technology ingredients of this solution and first-hand know-how shall always keep us ahead in providing unmatched value addition. And we shall strive hard to remain the leaders.

Hence we, at Recherche, are open to forming a #nexusofgood, wherein we extend an invitation to prospective partners instead of them trying to re-invent the wheel.
