What RPI-CS does

RPI-CS, Inc. is a privately held, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) IT systems integrator founded in 2003 and headquartered in Cypress, California. The firm specializes in High Performance Computing (HPC) environments, large-scale data center integration, storage architectures (SAN/NAS, HSM, ZFS, tape libraries), virtualization, disaster recovery, and Information Assurance / systems security. It delivers end-to-end services under a four-phase methodology — Design, Integrate, Maintain, Protect — using a vendor-neutral approach that selects best-fit components across Oracle, VMware, Microsoft, and Red Hat ecosystems without manufacturer bias.

The business operates primarily as a professional services and hardware-procurement integrator for U.S. government customers at federal, state, and local levels, plus selected commercial enterprises. Core technical work includes HPC cluster design, large-capacity SAN/NAS implementations, classified-environment security documentation, and lifecycle support, with engagements ranging from short technical-support tasks (as little as 15 minutes) to multi-year, multimillion-dollar contracts with dedicated onsite personnel. All personnel hold background investigations and many carry TS/SCI clearances, enabling work in classified federal and intelligence environments.

Go-to-market is enterprise field sales and direct government contracting: bid responses to RFPs, GSA vehicle access via teaming agreements, and subcontractor relationships with multi-billion-dollar system integrators on large federal programs. Revenue streams combine professional services (integration, security consulting, disaster recovery) and hardware/software procurement. Disclosed customer work includes the DoD National Systems Program (HPC since 2003), a large R&D facility mass storage build, and a state-level ERP implementation contract (Cumberland County, $211,800 addendum in 2025). No external institutional or VC funding is evidenced; the firm is small (11-50 employees) and independent with no parent company.
