Frequently asked questions
Can you ship the HPE Cray EX254n AI/HPC Server Node configured to my BOM?
Yes. Submit your CTO BOM (CPU SKU, memory layout, drives, NIC, GPU, OS preload) in the RFQ and we return a configured-to-order quote with realistic lead time. Standard CTO turn is 4-6 weeks vendor-side.
Do you offer Dell ProSupport / HPE Foundation Care alongside the hardware?
Yes — we attach the matching support contract during quoting. Available tiers: ProSupport / ProSupport Plus / Mission Critical (Dell), Foundation Care / Proactive Care 24x7 (HPE), Premier (Lenovo). Recommend 3y minimum for production.
Is rack installation available in Dubai / GCC?
Yes for Dubai (same-week scheduling) and on quotation for the broader GCC via certified partners. Includes rack-and-stack, cable management, OS install, and post-install verification.
How does pricing compare to going direct to the OEM?
For SMB and mid-market quantities, channel pricing is typically equal to or better than direct OEM, with faster quote turn (24h vs 2-3 weeks). For multi-million-dollar projects, we partner with the OEM directly and pass through a transparent margin.
