   Scrutiny, Inc. is an applied research firm in the Seattle area, with patents granted and pending for hardware and software technologies primarily related to the design, construction, and physically automated rapid deployment of composable digitalized infrastructure at scale, such as for computing, power generation/switching, energy storage, and water processing.SCRUTINY® technologies address sustainability and efficiency in the face of increasingly scarce resources (time, land, power, energy, water, labor, etc.). A SCRUTINY® HyperSilo™ physical infrastructure-hosting facility can unload, install, and power-on composable infrastructure payloads in just a few minutes each. For example, an unmanned HyperSilo™ implementing a hyperscale data center can rapidly deploy increments of computing capacity - in less than 10 minutes per megawatt. Power generation, substation, energy storage, and other types of infrastructure payloads also require only a few minutes each, so digitalized infrastructure can be rapidly deployed, upgraded, or replaced.The SCRUTINY® HyperSilo™ is a new kind of facility which supports the automated physical deployment and hosting of composable infrastructure payloads, such as a miniaturized hyperscale datacenter that incorporates a power substation, energy storage, and Amazon/Microsoft/Google-class cloud computing capacity (typically 8MW to 32MW per HyperSilo™). A HyperSilo™ occupies only 1% of the volume of a conventional datacenter of the same power capacity, and only 0.1% of the real estate footprint, while consuming zero water and providing extraordinary energy efficiency, survivability, and security.SCRUTINY® HyperSilos™ may be located underground or offshore. Offshore, one or more of them may be embedded in a HyperSpar™ — a floating vertical spar up to 600 feet deep that is impervious to wind and waves. By adding a HyperTower™ superstructure on top, the combination may host next-gen wind turbines up to 25MW, with rapid deployment.
