Private AI Servers

All the power of modern AI, none of the "where did our data just go?" A private AI server runs capable AI models on hardware you control — in your office, or in our Equinix data centre racks.

Straight talk

No jargon. Here's how it really is.

Here's the straight talk: every prompt your team types into a public AI tool travels to someone else's servers. For most businesses that's a shrug; for firms bound by privilege, patient privacy, financial confidentiality or pastoral trust, it's a governance problem waiting for a headline. The good news: open AI models have become genuinely capable, and running them privately on a well-built GPU server is now practical at SMB scale. Your documents get drafted, summarised and searched by AI that physically cannot leak them — because nothing ever leaves. We run private AI on our own infrastructure, so once again we're recommending what we already use. And if your needs don't justify a server, we'll tell you that too.

What you actually get

The substance behind the service

  • Sized-right AI hardware

    A GPU server specced to your actual workloads — not the biggest box we can invoice — in your office or our data centre.

  • Capable open models, properly set up

    Modern open-weight AI models configured for drafting, summarising and searching across your own documents.

  • Your data stays yours

    No prompts to third parties, no training on your files, no new privacy-policy paragraphs. Privilege and confidentiality preserved by architecture, not promises.

  • Secured and managed like everything we run

    Patched, monitored, access-controlled and backed up — a private AI server is still a server, and we treat it like one.

  • Team enablement with guardrails

    Practical training plus a plain-English usage policy, so your people get the value safely.

How it works

Three steps, no surprises

Scope the use-cases

What should AI actually do for you — and does it justify private hardware? Honest numbers first.

Build and prove

Server built, models deployed, then a pilot on your real documents so value is measured, not promised.

Run and improve

Managed, monitored and upgraded as models improve — which they do, fast.

“If a $30-a-month Copilot licence serves you better than a private server, we'll say so — and save you the rack space.”
