Overview

Based on your model, user count, and data volume, we pick servers, GPUs, and storage that are just enough.

ApproachRequirements interviews + hands-on testing
DeliverablesHardware spec recommendation and budget
01 · Who

Who it is for

  • Companies that have decided to keep AI in-house and need to buy hardware
  • Teams that already bought equipment but aren't getting the performance they expected
  • Organizations that want an internal knowledge base, document search, or image recognition
  • Management that needs to weigh the long-term cost of building in-house versus using the cloud
02 · What

What we do

Workload analysis

Confirm which models will run, how many people use them at once, and how fast responses must be.

Compute and memory

Estimate GPU memory and compute from model size so you do not buy the wrong tier.

Storage and backup

Plan NAS or server storage capacity, backup strategy, and data tiering.

Network and security

Secure design for internal network isolation, access rights, and remote connections.

Power and cooling

Estimate power draw and cooling needs, and check whether your server room or office can handle them.

Cost comparison

Compare total cost of ownership of in-house versus cloud over three to five years.

03 · Process

How it works

  1. Requirements interview

    Use cases and expected scale.

  2. Load estimate

    Models, users, and data volume.

  3. Option comparison

    Combinations of specs and budgets.

  4. Hands-on testing

    Test performance with real models when needed.

  5. Purchase recommendation

    Deliver the spec sheet and build recommendations.

04 · Deliverables

What you get

  • Hardware spec recommendation

    Server, GPU, storage, and network specs.

  • Budget and total cost of ownership

    Estimate of purchase, electricity, and maintenance costs.

  • Deployment architecture diagram

    Equipment layout, network, and backup architecture.

05 · FAQ

FAQ

Do we have to buy a GPU?

It depends on the use. Document search and small models can run on an ordinary server or a high-memory PC; you only need a GPU for real-time generation or many simultaneous users.

Can a NAS run AI?

A NAS works well as the storage hub for data and models, paired with a separate compute host. We plan around your existing equipment to reuse what you already own.

Is AI hardware power-hungry?

A GPU at full load draws a lot. We estimate electricity and cooling during selection and, where needed, add energy-saving schedules; this is where our energy background helps.
