FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

eRacks Announces AILSA: Rackmount AI Server for High-RAM Local-First Accessible AI

September 2025 – eRacks Systems, a leading provider of open-source servers and workstations, today announced the launch of the eRacks/AILSA — a compact, 2U rackmount AI server designed to make local-first artificial intelligence accessible to startups, research labs, and small enterprises.

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

• 2 × 18TB Enterprise HDDs (36TB storage)

• 2 × 500GB NVMe M.2 SSDs (fast boot and scratch space)

This configuration offers 160GB of combined memory (system + GPU), providing enough capacity to run and experiment with 13B 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. 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 2TB system RAM and 3 high-RAM GPUs.

• Open-Source AI Ready: Supports PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, Ollama, Milvus, LibraChat, 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.

Availability

The eRacks/AILSA is available now for custom configuration and purchase through eRacks.com
