AI Compute
EQ Syntropy is optional and requires GPU-accelerated hardware. Every gateway runs EQ Watch and EQ Sight without it. When you want Syntropy’s physics-informed analytics, event detection, and AI-assisted diagnostics, choose where to run it:
| Option | Hardware | Data Location | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Edge AI | NVIDIA AGX Orin or Thor on-site | Local (NVMe SSD) | Air-gapped sites, data sovereignty, lowest latency |
| EQ-Hosted | Dedicated EQ server | Replicated to EQ server | No GPU needed on-site; cross-site analytics |
| Customer-Hosted | Customer data center GPU (RTX 4090 class or better) | Customer servers | Enterprise IT with existing GPU infrastructure |
All three options deliver the same Syntropy capabilities through EQ Sight. The choice depends on your network environment, data policies, and existing infrastructure.
With edge AI or customer-hosted deployments, AI inference runs entirely on local hardware. There are no per-query fees, no usage limits, and no dependency on external services. Engineers can run as many diagnostic queries, investigate as many anomalies, and explore as much historical data as they need. The cost of the next analysis is the electricity to run it.
EQ-hosted deployments provide the same Syntropy capabilities with EQ managing the AI infrastructure on your behalf.
