CASE STUDY: What It Really Takes to Deliver on High-Stakes R&D Projects

by | Jul 15, 2025 | Computing

[NEW CASE STUDY] For teams working on federally funded innovation efforts—whether through SBIR, STTR, or other government-backed programs—technical success is only part of the equation. Getting your prototype into a real-world, testable environment can be a challenge all its own.

When Innovation Hits a Wall

It’s a familiar story: you’ve built powerful, purpose-driven software that shows real promise. But now the clock is ticking, and you need to deploy it in a secure, production-ready format—often on hardware that aligns with strict specs, timelines, and budget constraints. This is where many promising projects lose momentum.

That’s exactly the situation one San Diego-based firm faced during their Phase 1 SBIR. With software that worked beautifully in development but no infrastructure to support it at scale, they turned to Radeus Labs.

Why Infrastructure Choices Matter

What they needed wasn't just a server. It was a path forward—a way to virtualize their application, meet their program requirements, and do it all without getting sidetracked by hardware complexity or spiraling costs.

Radeus Labs stepped in with a consultative approach, helping the team define their environment, select the right hardware, and deploy a VMware-ready solution built to support both testing and future scaling.

Real Support, Real Speed

The result? A smooth transition from prototype to proof-of-concept, completed in days—not weeks. The engineering team stayed focused on their core innovation while Radeus handled the infrastructure challenge.

AUSA 2025: Defense Innovation, AI, and Edge Readiness on Full Display

clay moore-ausa annual general meeting-2025Last week, the Radeus Labs team joined thousands of attendees in Washington, D.C. for the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) Annual Meeting & Exposition, the Army’s largest professional gathering and one of the defense industry’s cornerstone events. 

This year’s show carried a sense of urgency that modernization isn’t a far-off goal anymore; it’s happening right now.

Flexible by Design: The Power of Hardware Agnosticism

With R&D and custom computing, the freedom to choose your components matters. But many organizations, knowingly or not, lock themselves into ecosystems that limit flexibility, drive up costs, and complicate integration.

That’s where hardware agnosticism comes in. For teams building prototypes, running AI workloads, or deploying complex edge computing systems, a hardware-agnostic approach isn't just a nice-to-have. It’s a strategic advantage that can mean the difference between project success and a painful, expensive rework.

Here’s what it really means to be hardware agnostic, and why it gives you an edge where off-the-shelf vendors fall short.


G2E 2025 in Vegas: Bright Lights, Big Conversations, and Even Bigger Opportunities

The Radeus Labs team joined thousands of attendees in Las Vegas for the Global Gaming Expo (G2E); the premier event for gaming technology and innovation. From the moment the show floor lit up, it was clear the buzz wasn’t just about games, but about the infrastructure powering them. For Radeus, it was an exciting first-time experience that blended serious technical conversations with a lively, community-driven atmosphere.
