September 30, 2025 - Unlike the five- and six-figure AI servers dominated by proprietary high-cost GPUs, the eRacks/AILSA takes a RAM-first approach, leveraging readily available GPUs and high-capacity system memory to support modern open-source AI workloads.
Starting Configuration
The entry-level configuration of the eRacks/AILSA includes:
- 2 × Intel® Arc B50 16GB GPUs (32GB total GPU RAM)
- 128GB DDR5 ECC System RAM (up to 512GB)
- 2 × 18TB Enterprise HDDs (36TB storage)
- 2 × 500GB NVMe M.2 SSDs for OS (fast boot and scratch space)
This configuration offers 160GB of combined memory (system + GPU), providing enough capacity to easily run and experiment with 70B parameter models locally — including popular open-source LLMs, vector search frameworks, and AI pipelines.
Designed for Local AI
“With eRacks/AILSA, we wanted to build something that democratizes AI infrastructure,” said Joseph Wolff, CTO of eRacks Systems. “You shouldn’t need a venture capital budget or cloud lock-in to run large language models or RAG pipelines. eRacks/AILSA gives small teams the ability to work with the larger, real-world AI models securely, affordably, and entirely under their own control.”
Key Features & Benefits
- RAM-First Architecture: Optimized for LLMs and vector databases, with up to 512GB system RAM and up to 3 high-RAM GPUs.
- Open-Source AI Ready: Supports PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, Ollama, Milvus, LibreChat, Koboldcpp, and more.
- Enterprise Reliability: ECC memory (available), redundant PSU options, and enterprise-grade storage.
- Compact Form Factor: 2U chassis fits easily into existing racks and lab environments.
