Ollama Deployment in Durham
Deploying Ollama on shared infrastructure for Durham organisations, where concurrency is the constraint that decides everything. It is excellent at serving requests and was not built to serve many of them at once — so a deployment that feels instant for one developer becomes a queue the moment a handful of users arrive together.
Why this comes up
The problem
It was fine on someone's machine, went onto a server for the team, and now everyone waits behind everyone else.
What you get
What we deliver
- Concurrency behaviour measured under realistic load, not tested with one user
- Queueing made explicit, with a defined wait limit rather than an indefinite one
- Model loading managed, since swapping models between requests is expensive
- GPU memory allocated deliberately where several models must coexist
- Monitoring on queue depth and response time, not just whether it is running
- An honest assessment of whether a purpose-built serving stack is needed instead

Working in Durham
North East
Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.
Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones.

Ollama Deployment in Durham — common questions
- How many concurrent users can it handle?
- Fewer than people expect, and the answer depends on model size and hardware. It should be measured rather than assumed, because the failure mode is not an error — it is a queue, and users experience it as the system becoming mysteriously slow.
- What happens when models are swapped?
- Loading a different model takes real time and memory. A deployment serving several models on one machine can spend a meaningful share of its time loading rather than answering, which is invisible unless you are watching for it.
- When should we use something else?
- When concurrency is the requirement. Purpose-built serving stacks batch requests together and use the hardware far more efficiently under load — Ollama is the better choice for convenience and simplicity, not for throughput.
- What should we monitor?
- Queue depth and time to first token, per model. Availability checks show the service is up while every user is waiting twenty seconds, and by the time anyone reports it the capacity problem has been present for weeks.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
