POND: Powerful On-premises Network Devices.

A POND is a local infrastructure scene: different systems, each with a role, connected into a workflow a buyer can imagine in their own shop, office, lab, or studio.

Print and automation POND

A small business can keep print control, document storage, and automation local. The diagram is not just technical; it is a room layout for an operating workflow.

School of Mini TUNA

A School repeats one species. Several Mini TUNA machines become a small application cluster for experiments, services, VMs, or container workloads.

POND

Different roles working together

A POND is a small local ecosystem: COD for primary storage, CATFISH for backup, TUNA or PILOTFISH for apps and automation, KOI LS for print workflows.

It is useful when a buyer wants an understandable local infrastructure stack rather than one generic machine trying to do everything.

School

Same role clustered together

A School is a cluster of one species. For example, several Mini TUNA systems can form a School of TUNA for application nodes, lab experiments, or virtualization capacity.

This keeps the naming clear: POND means mixed roles, School means repeated role.

Common combinations

These are examples for future documentation pages, diagrams, and sales explanations.

Print and automation POND

Mini KOI LS plus Mini COD plus PILOTFISH for shipping benches, repair shops, small warehouses, printers, and local automation.

Small office resilience POND

Mini COD for active documents plus CATFISH or CATFISH Nephew for backup and restore practice.

School of TUNA

Multiple Mini TUNA application nodes for containers, VMs, experiments, and local service clusters.
