Budget OnPrem Trial Hardware

Dell Precision T3610 Workstation on ebay

In this post we describe an example of some very low cost hardware suitable to run VoiceGain OnPrem. This hardware is definitely suitable for a very low cost OnPrem Trial, but might also work for some other use cases, e.g. for a non-profit, for a dev environment, etc. The important consideration if using this setup beyond the trial is that the locally created/generated data (e.g. transcripts, language models) will be stored on this single machine, which may become single point of failure resulting in a data loss. Please consult our Support Pages for info about how to backup data off single machine setups.

Here is a list of all that is needed with prices:

• Dell Precision T3610 with 32GB RAM off ebay for about $350

• add 1TB hard drive if it does not already have it

• Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 card (or better) - $169.99 - Note that Nvidia does not allow use of GeForce consumer cards in data centers, but we assume that this type of setup would not be intended to be deployed in a data center.

Total cost of hardware about $520
