Telemetry architecture
Collection, transport and retention plans that survive real network conditions and stay within budget.
Operational intelligence since 2017
Make distributed operations legible.
We design data platforms and observability pipelines for teams that run large, long-lived fleets. Less noise, faster decisions, measurable cost.
What we do
Fleet analytics
Normalised event models, anomaly detection and operator-facing dashboards that answer concrete questions.
Reliability reviews
Independent reviews of rollout, upgrade and incident-response paths for large installations.
Research notes
Our public notes cover data retention economics, long-tail network failures and the operational cost of configuration drift. We publish when a result changes how a team should work, not on a schedule.
- 2026 Retention windows and the cost of asking again
- 2024 Reading fleet health from sparse telemetry
- 2021 Upgrade paths for intermittently connected systems
About
Meridian Data Group is a small independent practice. We work with operators who need a second opinion on data systems that have grown beyond their original design.
Engagements are scoped, written and time-boxed. No staff augmentation, no perpetual retainers.
