Data is growing at an unprecedented pace. Every transaction generates data, and with AI, this growth is accelerating. AI-driven automation introduces additional transactions, creating more data. As humans become more inquisitive about AI's operations, we add even more data through observability, logs, controls, and guardrails. Everything we do contributes to this data explosion.

This growth welcomes a new problem: The Challenge of AI and Data Ownership

The Challenge of AI and Data Ownership

Traditional solutions rely on commodity storage to handle data growth. However, AI is forcing industries to rethink data ownership. Many customers want to leverage AI but do not want to send their data to a hosted cloud, whether public, private, or hybrid. The question is: how do we enable AI while keeping data within a customer's control?

AI Data Center in a Box

The answer lies in AI-powered data centers in a box. This is not just a rack of servers but a compact, turnkey solution designed for edge computing. The key components of this AI-driven edge solution include:

Modular design to balance power, compute, networking, and security
Pluggable LLMs (Large Language Models) for customized AI processing
Integrated storage to handle large datasets efficiently
On-demand AI processing to enable offline and secure computations
Kill switch for ultimate control and security
