FURCATE
SITE
Deploy Furcate to server-class hardware on the operator's perimeter — one box in a comms cabinet or a three-node HA rack in the plant room. Confidential computing, attested end to end. This is where sovereign AI infrastructure actually lives: a data centre the size of the problem, on power you already have.

Specification
| Hardware | Dell PowerEdge XR · HPE ProLiant DL145 Gen11 · Supermicro IoT SuperServer · Lenovo ThinkEdge SE360 / SE450 · ASRock 1U |
| RAM | 64 GB – 1 TB · GPU optional, attested when present |
| Deploy | CLI · desktop |
| OS | Linux · K3s 3-node HA control plane |
| Confidentiality | Intel TDX · AMD SEV-SNP · NVIDIA Confidential Computing for GPU-attested workloads. Measured boot to signed workload, provable on the perimeter. |
| Role | The site brain. Runs the heaviest models, local training and federation, the orchestrator, the immutable local ledger. The Furcate Site Server class — a small data centre that makes the distant one optional. |
| Footprint | Kilowatts, not megawatts. Standard rack power and cooling — no new substation, no grid queue, no gigafactory. |
| Network | Wired Ethernet backbone of the site mesh. Serves model-to-model requests from Micro, Small and Base neighbours; gates cloud-burst and federation by explicit grant. |
| Identity | Issued a Furcate machine identity — a local DID — at first deploy. |
