What’s included

  • A sealed, lockable rack cabinet sized for your equipment — 1 rack, typically ~2–8 kW (final capacity per site and workload).
  • Built-in cooling and airflow management, so it can live in an office, closet or home.
  • Power protection: dedicated circuit, surge protection and a rack UPS.
  • Networking: enterprise gateway and switching, segmented from your everyday network.
  • Temperature, humidity and door sensors with remote 24/7 monitoring.
  • Installed to code under a Technical Safety BC permit, using certified components.

Configurations that fit an Edge Rack

  • AI — a private knowledge assistant and document search on hardware you own, with optional private-AI software.
  • Node — blockchain full nodes, self-hosted services, backup and storage.
  • Compute — a compact GPU/CPU node for inference or rendering.
  • Custom — tell us what you need it to do.

Edge Rack for the Home

Private home AI on hardware you own. An Edge Rack in a closet or utility room can run a household AI assistant, keep family files and camera footage at home instead of in someone else’s cloud, and tie into your smart home system so it keeps working when the internet drops.

It is the same sealed, cooled, monitored cabinet — sized and finished for a home.

Frequently asked questions

Where can an Edge Rack go?

Most offices, closets, utility rooms and basements work. The assessment checks space, ventilation, power and network before anything is ordered.

Is it electrically approved?

Yes. On-site builds use certified components and are installed to code under a Technical Safety BC permit.

Do we own it?

Yes. You own the hardware; management is a monthly service.

Why not just use the cloud?

The cloud is great for some things. Private infrastructure wins when your data is sensitive, you want predictable costs, or you need AI to keep working when the internet doesn’t.

Is an Edge Rack noisy?

Sealed cabinets with managed airflow are far quieter than open server racks. The assessment picks a location and cooling to suit the room.

How long does a build take?

It depends on the size and the site. The assessment ends with a written schedule. Rack and room builds are usually the quickest; containers need shop time, testing and delivery.

Can you work with our existing IT team or provider?

Yes. Pfitztech designs, builds and monitors the infrastructure and works alongside your IT team or provider. You keep full admin access.

Are monthly payment options available?

Yes. Monthly options combine hardware and management in one payment. Founding pilot pricing on request.
