Infrastructure expertise,
delivered on-site

Our consultants integrate directly with your teams to solve complex infrastructure challenges. We bring the experience — you keep the focus on your mission.

High-Performance Computing

Design, build and operate HPC clusters spanning hundreds of nodes. Architecture, job scheduling, parallel storage, interconnect optimization, and the daily care that keeps it all running.

Cloud & Virtualization

Vendor-independent advisory for virtualization strategy. We help you navigate shifting licensing landscapes, evaluate alternatives, and plan migrations without the sales pitch.

Datacenter Operations

Full lifecycle datacenter services — site design, physical security, cooling, power, and facility management. Including sustainable heat reuse for district heating systems.

Linux & Identity Management

Enterprise Linux infrastructure on Rocky Linux, FreeIPA, and open-source tooling. Authentication, certificate management, and directory services at scale.

Data & ETL Pipelines

Taking bespoke analysis code from prototype to production. We build ETL pipelines, deploy analytical toolchains, and standardize data — including OMOP CDM and OHDSI platforms.

Managed Services

Fully managed infrastructure and application operations. One call to the right person — no ticket queues, no layers. We keep your critical services and dark sites running as designed.

Experienced people,
real problems

Rook IT was founded in Copenhagen in 2014. We're a team of 15 who specialize in complex computing infrastructure — primarily for healthcare and research organizations where reliability and data sensitivity are non-negotiable.

Our consultants work on-site at customer locations, embedding directly with the teams who need them. We don't sell boxes or licenses. We bring people with deep, hands-on experience who know how to deliver in complex, regulated environments.

We speak the languages our clients need — literally. Our team covers more than a dozen languages including Danish, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Swedish, Farsi, and Arabic.

  • Experienced consultants only

    Every person we place has years of hands-on experience. We hire for depth, not headcount.

  • Vendor-independent

    We advise on what's best for you, not what earns us a commission. Software-agnostic by principle.

  • Healthcare & research focus

    We understand the regulatory requirements and data sensitivity of the sectors we serve.

  • Direct communication

    One call to the right person. No ticket queues, no layers of support.

Where we work

We serve organizations where infrastructure reliability and data integrity are mission-critical.

Healthcare & Life Sciences

Health IT infrastructure, genomics platforms, and clinical data environments. We work with organizations handling some of Denmark's most sensitive health data — from research hospitals to national health programmes.

EHDEN Certified SME

Research & Academia

National research computing facilities, university HPC clusters, and large-scale scientific data processing. We build and operate the systems that power computational research across disciplines.

Work with people who know what they're doing

At Rook IT, you work on genuinely challenging infrastructure — the kind of problems that don't have Stack Overflow answers. Our consultants embed on-site at client locations across Denmark, with real autonomy and direct impact.

We're a flat organization that values competence and pragmatism over process and hierarchy. If you have deep infrastructure experience and want to work somewhere that respects it, we'd like to hear from you.
