WHAT
WE
DO

Building custom technology hardware and services solutions is the lifeblood of our business and why we have thrived for nearly 40 years. Our company management comes from the executive ranks of large IT manufacturers such as HP. We know IT better than most and have partnerships with the world’s leading component suppliers to bring their experience to the table as well. IT for us means everything you need in Information Technology, from a single hard drive to the largest cluster implementation or from providing on-site engineers to fully capable outsourced CIOs. We also bring strength in the following:

Technology Solutions

RAI is a privately-held Houston-based firm that works with our customers in the Oil & Gas, Media & Entertainment, Healthcare, State & Local Government, Higher Education and K-12 business markets across the United States and many other countries worldwide to deliver technology solutions addressing everything from the Desktop to the Data Center and most computing solutions in between. Since 1977, our DNA has been made of High Performance Computing (HPC), GPU performance clusters, multi-core server farms and associated high-end engineering workstations for the requirements of our clients. However, we bring solutions to all IT infrastructure environments in which our customers operate, offering the lowest costed options, highest value through added services and unequalled TCO over the life of the solutions.

Service Solutions

RAI specializes in creating custom technology, but custom service solutions to each of our customer’s environments as well. The difference is our level of experience and that we commit to each and every customer, whether down the street or around the world, that we will do all that is necessary to ensure maximum uptime for their equipment and the most productivity out of their IT decisions. Founded in 1977, RAI has access to expertise in all areas of technology, whether we need to deliver service solutions to mid-range to high performance, basic Desk-side support, oil and gas seismic technology, university data clusters, rugged mobile computing, medical imaging or the vastness that the cloud presents, our account executives and engineers redefine what it means to service customers. Many customers have leveraged RAI’s computing design, engineering and support strengths with our global partners. And, that is our point. We make the same commitment to customers whether down the street or in places such as Brazil, Singapore, Germany or wherever you do business. We will always be present with solutions fitting your exact needs.

Software Services

RAI plays a critical role in delivering software solutions as a part of our portfolio because it follows our process- and solution-centric approach, where we can leverage our industry domain expertise, and because we have an intimate knowledge of our customer’s business and their marketplace. Having software solutions, like ERP, Archiving and Disaster Recovery, provides RAI with an integrated suite of IT solutions that enables us to be more strategically relevant to our customers.

Product Catalog

RAI is able to sell hard to find equipment or the latest and greatest technology, depending on your need. Rather than going through multiple websites to find what you need, ask RAI and you will likely find our pricing lower than the average Internet price for that item, new or used, and in most cases lower than the best Internet price. Challenge us, what can we quote for you?

Partners

RAI has direct relationships with many suppliers, such as Dell and Supermicro, which lowers our costs and enables us to pass SAVINGS DIRECTLY ON TO YOU. We do this to change the competitive landscape for Information Technology, but also to demonstrate our capabilities from innovative hardware design to experienced technology implementation to outsourced IT services. We constantly and consistently look to lower your costs of IT, minimizing your risks and ultimately maximizing system performance. The price to performance advantages are something we stand behind.
