Intelligence teams
Teams running threat-analysis and correlation platforms, such as OpenCTI or MISP, in production.
Island M
The island where the real work happens: genuine capacity to run intelligence and security platforms in production, on a single high-capacity dedicated server.
THE APPROACH
The island where the work happens.
Island M is the workhorse of the product. Where Island S offers a sovereign platform in its most contained form, Island M brings the capacity to sustain the real work of an intelligence or security team: full threat-analysis platforms, with their databases, their queues and their processes, running in production day after day. It is the island for those who already know what they need to run and want to do it on infrastructure that is owned, controlled and auditable.
THE FORM
A high-capacity server.
Island M runs on a single dedicated server, sized with headroom for demanding workloads. It shares one characteristic with Island S, and it is worth saying clearly: Island M is also not highly available. Scheduled maintenance is carried out in an agreed downtime window, and a server failure interrupts the service until recovery is complete. The difference from Island S is in capacity. Resilience against a failure is what Island L brings.

FOR WHOM
Who it fits.
Island M fits teams that run demanding tools and want to do so on their own infrastructure.
Security operations
Security teams that need capacity for their monitoring, logging and response tools.
Technical boutiques
Small firms working with sensitive data who prefer a dedicated platform over shared services.
WHAT IT INCLUDES
What goes into Island M.
Everything in Island S, plus the capacity and the staging environment that serious work calls for.
Everything in Island S
Dedicated infrastructure, unified identity with a second factor, encrypted and verified backups, a recovery test and an exit guarantee.
Capacity for full platforms
Headroom to sustain intelligence platforms with their databases, their queues and their processes, in production.
Staging environment
An environment separate from production, where the client team validates changes before taking them live.
Fault isolation
A problem in the staging environment does not reach production. The real work stays protected from the trials.
WHAT IT RUNS
Working platforms.
Island M is sized for the full intelligence and security platforms, the ones Island S cannot sustain. It is the island where the real analysis work runs.
Threat analysis
Full intelligence platforms, such as OpenCTI or MISP, with all their dependencies in production.
Security operations
Monitoring, centralized logging and response tools for the security team.
Internal applications
Portals, dashboards and team tools, alongside the island's main platforms.
THE LIMITS
What Island M does not solve.
Island M gives working capacity, not uninterrupted continuity. It is not highly available: scheduled maintenance involves an agreed downtime window, and a server failure stops the service until recovery is complete. For operations where a stop is not acceptable, the right island is L, which tolerates the failure of one server without interrupting the service. Island M is the correct choice when the work is demanding and a planned maintenance window is acceptable.
BETWEEN S AND L
The middle ground of the product.
Island M sits between Island S and Island L, and the difference from each is precise. Against Island S, M brings capacity: it sustains platforms that S cannot. Against Island L, it lacks resilience: L tolerates the failure of a server without stopping, M does not. An island can travel that path without being rebuilt: start at S and grow to M, or move from M to L when continuity becomes a requirement.
