South-coast UK · A hive of Apple silicon

A hive of Macs,
kept humming.

Dedicated Apple silicon Mac minis and Mac Studios in a secure south-coast UK datacentre. Unlimited bandwidth, a public IPv4 on every machine, and Thunderbolt 5 clustering for local LLMs. We keep the hive running — you just connect.

What's in the hive

Real Macs, managed. Not a slice of someone else's.

Every machine is dedicated hardware in a racked, monitored datacentre — yours to SSH into, screen-share, and put to work. We handle the boring, fragile parts.

Dedicated hardware

Your own Apple silicon Mac mini or Mac Studio. Not shared, not virtualised, not a slice of something bigger.

Always-on

Proper UPS, proper internet, secure south-coast UK datacentre. Uptime is monitored — we get paged before you do.

Public IPv4 included

Every Mac ships with its own dedicated public IPv4. Add more for a small monthly fee; IPv6 is free on request.

Cluster your Macs

Private networks between machines, plus RDMA over Thunderbolt 5 on any Thunderbolt 5 Mac — M4 Pro minis, M4 Max and M3 Ultra Studios — to pool memory and compute for larger local LLMs.

You control exposure

Default-deny firewall on every Mac. Open only the ports you want, or keep it fully private over Tailscale — no port forwarding, no faff.

Snapshot rollback

Nightly snapshots of your working config, encrypted at rest. Something goes sideways? Roll back in minutes, not days.

Link the comb

One Mac is a worker.
Several are a hive.

On any Thunderbolt 5 Mac — M4 Pro Mac minis, plus M4 Max and M3 Ultra Mac Studios — we mesh up to four machines together with RDMA over Thunderbolt 5 and drop them on a private, isolated network. Pool their unified memory and run models that won't fit on any single box — with faster multi-node inference than a public API round-trip.

  • RDMA over Thunderbolt 5 — up to 120Gb/s links at single-digit-microsecond latency between Thunderbolt 5 Macs, no switch in the path.
  • Private mesh networking — cross-connect up to four Macs; they see each other, the public internet doesn't see them.
  • Built for local LLMs — pooled unified memory for larger models, and more nodes means more throughput, not less.
