QuietWire node appliances

A box in the building changes the conversation.

A QuietWire node is not a chatbot in a box. It is a client-owned local foundation for governed memory, AI assistance, evidence, workflow continuity, and future integrations.

The standard offer

You are buying infrastructure, not access to a logo on someone else’s cloud.

Hardware, onboarding, and stewardship stay visible as separate parts of the relationship. The client owns the appliance. QuietWire prepares it, documents it, connects the first workflow, and continues to steward the node.

Right-sized entry points

Three clear starting configurations.

Starting prices are Canadian dollars before applicable tax. Final hardware, travel, installation, and scope are confirmed by written quote.

Beyond one node

Rack and sovereign systems are scoped, not shrink-wrapped.

Large municipalities, portfolios, institutions, telecom partners, and multi-site programs may need redundant servers, substantial storage, GPUs, networking, power protection, and a governed mesh across sites.

Typical starting architecture

Rack server or rackable workstation
128–256 GB ECC memory
20–40 TB NAS or RAID storage
10 GbE, firewall, VPN, monitoring
Optional workstation or inference GPU
Portfolio memory and governance records

Written scope and quote

What is included

The appliance is the anchor. Stewardship makes it a living node.

Configured

Ubuntu LTS, local storage, accounts, services, and the baseline operating shape.

Hardened

Firewall, access discipline, remote support path, backups, and recovery procedure.

Documented

System map, content register, credentials process, operating notes, and support record.

Connected

Approved Drive, document, workflow, local application, or handoff integration.

Witnessed

Visible state, event records, evidence, and an attested demonstration of the first loop.

Stewarded

Health checks, support, review, tuning, and a continuing improvement rhythm.

Custody and ownership

Know what is yours.

Hardware: Client-owned after payment.
Client data: Remains client data.
Configuration: QuietWire-managed methods and configuration remain QuietWire intellectual property unless otherwise agreed.
Admin access: Retained only as authorized for support and stewardship.
Warranty: Manufacturer warranty passed through; replacement parts scoped separately after warranty.
Exit: Records remain exportable; continuity is not held hostage to a model subscription.

Choose the fit

Tell us the building, the work, and what must remain true.

We will recommend the smallest node that can carry the responsibility honestly, then issue a clear appliance + onboarding + stewardship quote.
