What to expect

What to expect#

Here’s what to expect when receiving, setting up, and operating your Sovereign Data and AI Factory system during the first 90 days—from delivery through active use and support.

Days 0–21: Site readiness and installation#

After your order is confirmed, you’ll complete a site readiness survey to guide installation. The survey includes:

  • Power, rack, and cabling details

  • Networking and security preferences

  • Physical access and contact coordination

What happens#

  • Supermicro ships the full system to your selected data center.

  • EDB and Supermicro teams perform on-site racking, power-up, and validation.

  • Configuration is completed based on your preferences.

  • You receive login credentials and URL access to the Hybrid Manager portal.

Days 21–28: Deploying your first workloads#

Once the system is live, you can immediately begin launching workloads. All operations take place through the Hybrid Manager portal.

What you can do#

  • Deploy a high-availability 3-node Postgres cluster.

  • Launch embedding jobs and vector pipelines using Postgres and pgvector.

  • Use GPU nodes to serve models locally via NVIDIA NIM Microservices .

  • Create RAG-style applications and internal chatbots.

You don’t need to access Kubernetes directly. You manage everything through the HM portal.

Days 28–90: Lifecycle management and scaling#

As workloads evolve, the system is ready to scale and update with full lifecycle support from EDB and Supermicro.

What’s included:#

  • Regular OS and software updates, including Postgres and AI tools.

  • Optional expansion by adding compute or GPU nodes.

  • Hardware support with Supermicro’s 4-hour Gold SLA.

  • Built-in observability and diagnostics across all layers.

You can continue operating the system through Hybrid Manager while both software and hardware remain covered under joint support agreements.
