Lighthouse Digital Transformation JSC
Own your digital infrastructure
We build and operate technology infrastructure on open source, with data held in Viet Nam — for government bodies, socio-political organisations and businesses. Your organisation keeps control of its systems, including after our work together ends.
Replace costly licences with open source, professionally operated
Most of an organisation's infrastructure budget goes to foreign software licences — paid annually, rising every year, with the data held outside the country.
| Currently paying for | Open source alternative | What changes |
|---|---|---|
| Power BI · Tableau | Apache Superset | No per-user licence fee |
| Google Workspace · Microsoft 365 | iRedMail | Data held in Viet Nam |
| Oracle Database | PostgreSQL | Migration service available |
| Redis (licence model changed) | Dragonfly | Protocol compatible |
| Confluent Kafka | Redpanda | Lighter to operate |
| Foreign cloud storage | S3 operated in Viet Nam | Data sovereignty |
Knowing the names of these platforms solves nothing on its own. What is missing is someone to operate them against a commitment, and to answer for it when a system fails. See what we do →
When a system fails, who answers for it
Many infrastructure contracts break down because this boundary was never written out. We put it in the contract.
- Hai Dang We answer for this
Operations against a commitment
Continuous monitoring, incident response within the agreed time, and regular reporting on status and risk.
- Hai Dang We answer for this
Configuration and security
Operating system hardening, network segmentation, patch management. Full configuration documentation handed over to your organisation.
- Infrastructure provider
Physical infrastructure
Domestic data centre, connectivity, power, physical security. A commodity layer, priced much the same across the major providers.
Towards the client Hai Dang signs the contract and answers for the whole of the operational outcome, including the part delivered by the infrastructure provider. Your organisation deals with a single point of contact.
Four groups of solutions
-
Infrastructure & operations
Databases, email, backup, servers and monitoring — six service groups operated against a commitment.
-
Data platform
Lakehouse architecture on Apache Iceberg, Trino, Airflow and dbt. Layered into bronze, silver and gold.
-
Custom software
Business systems written to your organisation's own way of working. Source code and documentation belong to you.
-
Consulting
Four packages, each with defined deliverables and a set duration. The result is usable even if you take it no further with us.
How we think
A game of Go is rarely won by one decisive blow
A player comes out ahead by choosing where to place each stone, holding the initiative, and letting go of what is no longer worth holding. Technology infrastructure works the same way: no single move settles everything, and every system has to live with decisions taken before you arrived.
The task is to choose the right place for the next stone — so that each step opens up the one after it, rather than closing off your options.
The four principles →- Securing territory You do not need to own everything. You need control of what decides the outcome — where the data sits, who operates it, and what it costs you to change supplier.
- Shape and influence A system built in a hurry runs today but closes off every later choice. The right architecture makes each next step cheaper than the last.
- Sente Dealing with an incident only after it happens means the initiative is lost. Monitoring, recovery drills and regular patching are how it is taken back.
- Knowing what to abandon Not every system is worth upgrading, and not every licence is worth replacing. Sometimes leaving things as they are is the right decision.
Start with an assessment session
We review your current systems, processes and data. The outcome is a written report of bottlenecks, ranked by priority. The first session is free of charge.
