CHASSIS

Built to your deal. Yours to resell.

Bespoke hardware, engineered and manufactured to a specific customer's deal — not picked from a catalog. You define the buyer, the workload, and the brand it ships under; we build the appliance for you to resell.

Chassis hardware example: machined black enclosure under a finned passive heatsink, with a locking DC input, 5 GbE copper port, four 25 GbE SFP28 cages, tamper-evident service panel, and a nameplate area built for the reseller's brand.

FIRST LOOK

One deal, one build.

The photo above is a representative build, not a fixed SKU. Every Chassis order starts from a conversation about the reselling org’s buyer, workload, and environment, and the enclosure below is configured to that deal — not pulled off a shelf.

DC IN
Locking circular power connector with a captive dust cap — one feed, no external supply logic.
5 GbE
Copper uplink for enclave LAN access, governed by default-deny egress in the base image.
4× 25 GbE SFP28
Fiber cages for high-throughput local ingest, sized for whatever workload your software drives.
NAMEPLATE
Built to order for the reselling org — their mark, their model number, their support line.
SERVICE PANEL
Tamper-evident window, sealed at final assembly after your image is loaded. Field and extreme tiers ship without serviceable openings.

OVERVIEW

Not a SKU. A build, made for your deal.

Chassis is the bespoke tier of the Element 31 hardware line — one of three sealed appliances, alongside Czar for training custom models and Forge for coding inference. Chassis is not a configurable off-the-shelf product: it’s custom-made, built to order for a specific reselling organization’s specific deal. You bring an end buyer, a workload, and a brand; we engineer and manufacture the appliance for that deal, and you resell it downstream as your own.

Every Chassis order is manufactured against the requirements of a single engagement — the compute, memory, storage, environmental hardening, and enclosure branding are set per deal, not chosen from a catalog. What ships carries the reseller’s name on the outside and Element 31’s sealing and manufacturing discipline underneath.

Chassis has no fixed catalog spec — every line item above is scoped to the individual deal at engagement. Figures shown are representative, not a standard configuration. Minimum order volume, lead time, and bespoke pricing are set per engagement.

HOW A DEAL COMES TOGETHER

Built to order, deal by deal.

There is no standing Chassis catalog to order from. Each engagement is scoped, engineered, and manufactured on its own, from the reseller's end-buyer requirements forward.

  1. 01

    Scope the deal

    YOU BRING
    The end buyer, the workload, the environment, and your brand assets.
    WE DO
    Translate that into a hardware spec — compute, memory, storage, and environmental tier.
  2. 02

    Build to order

    YOU BRING
    A qualified software image and your nameplate design.
    WE DO
    Manufacture that specific build, integrate your image, and seal the enclosure under your brand.
  3. 03

    Resell it as yours

    YOU BRING
    The buyer relationship, the support line, the go-to-market.
    WE DO
    Stay the manufacturing and sealing layer underneath — not a co-brand your buyer has to reconcile.

Minimum order volume, lead time, and repeat-build terms are set per engagement with each reseller.

SEALED BY DESIGN

The guarantee your buyer gets is the guarantee we build.

  • Your brand, built to order

    Nameplate, boot splash, and documentation carry the reseller's identity. Every build is manufactured for that specific deal — the sealing process underneath is ours, invisible to the end buyer.

  • Tamper-evident construction

    Every unit ships with the same tamper-evident sealing as the rest of the Element 31 line. Physical interference leaves permanent, inspectable evidence.

  • Signed partner image

    Your software is signed at provisioning and mounted read-only. Nothing is installed, patched, or altered in place after it leaves the line.

  • Consistent build discipline

    Every deal gets its own spec, but every unit within that deal follows the same qualified process — image load, seal, test, ship — so the run arrives identical.

DEPLOYMENT POSTURES

However your buyer needs to run it.

ENCLAVE

On-premise, no internet

The unit sits on your buyer's internal network with no route to the public internet — your software, running the way it would in any sealed enclave deployment.

TACTICAL

Disconnected, syncs on reachback

The unit operates fully disconnected for the duration of a mission or engagement. When a trusted link is available, updates and records move in one controlled exchange.

FULL AIR-GAP

Offline provisioning only

No network path exists in either direction. Provisioning and updates cross the gap as signed bundles on physical media, matching whatever offline update process your software already supports.

OTHER TIERS

Not every org needs a resale build.

CZAR

For training and fine-tuning proprietary models

The sovereign AI sandbox for orgs that need to train and run bespoke models on sensitive internal data, fully sealed.

FORGE

For secure, air-gapped coding assistance

A low-latency code-model appliance for teams that cannot expose proprietary source or ITAR-controlled IP to public LLMs.
