Cinnos is a purpose-driven company, filled with passionate people, dedicated to creating innovative solutions that make our world better. We believe, that the traditional model of building data centers is limiting and unsustainable, both environmentally and financially. Cinnos addresses this, through combining the best ideas of design, reliability and efficiency into prefabricated, scalable, and operationally optimized modular products & solutions. Economic, societal, and environmental concerns are at the heart of everything we do, from R&D to operations. We are dedicated to continually bringing innovation-driven sustainable practices to the computing infrastructure industry. Cinnos has introduced the world’s first mass-customizable, plug-and-play datacentre appliance line, the Smart MCX™ system. The Smart MCX™ allows immediate deployment of computing infrastructures. This is in stark contrast to the traditional way of establishing datacentres, which entails substantial on-site construction. Thus, it accelerates time-to-market, and thus revenues, for its users, enabling drastically higher ROI than legacy technologies. The product line is designed in modules, which can be combined to customize your capacity needs. This past year we helped numerous companies deploy datacentre solutions resulting in 90% deferred capital costs, 43% reduction in their cost of deployment, 12% increase in operational efficiency, and providing the shortest investment paybacks by enabling the assembly of a datacentre in just 1 week. In addition, Cinnos in collaboration with McMaster University, has established the Computing Infrastructure Research Centre (CIRC). This space is the first of its kind in Canada!

BrainFx, Inc. conducts ongoing and cutting-edge research with digital technology to create clinical, digital assessment tools for healthcare professionals to measure the early and subtle effects of brain disorders on a person's ability to function in real life. With early intervention, health professionals can minimize disability, and improve quality of life. Healthcare systems may reduce the associated professional time and associated costs it takes to get similar information traditionally up to 85 percent. The premier offering is BrainFx 360, (90 to 120 minute), a new, comprehensive, standardized, research-based digital assessment tool that is designed to help health professionals measure the functional impact of mild to moderate brain injury or disorder. BrainFx Assessments are designed for those aged 10 and up with, or at risk of: brain injury, stroke, mental illness, aging, dementia, and other neurological / brain disorders and other conditions with cognitive effects. Designed to assist healthcare teams with the information needed for early detection, diagnosis & treatment of neurological dysfunction, and to assist with clinical decision-making for return to activity. Measuring an individual's brain function means healthcare teams will have comprehensive information available quickly (reports available immediately) to consider for treatment planning and recommendations. BrainFx assessments can also provide a baseline, to be compared at a future date so any declines or improvements in functional skills can be tracked. At BrainFx, we want to make the invisible effects of mild to moderate brain disorders visible.
