Frequently Asked Questions

01 What's the difference between Rise MAX and just buying GPU servers + deploying VAST/CAMP yourself?
The underlying software stack is identical — the difference is delivery model. DIY requires customers to handle hardware sourcing, procurement, racking, OS install, K8s setup, VAST/CAMP deployment, and tuning — typically 4-8 weeks end-to-end, requiring strong in-house ops expertise. Rise MAX is a turnkey hardware + software appliance: pre-racked hardware, pre-configured OS, pre-deployed K8s + VAST + CAMP + ModelX stack, and pre-loaded DeepSeek and other mainstream models — operational in under an hour. Ideal for customers who want to skip the integration risk and start AI rollout immediately.
02 What configurations does MAX come in? Which GPUs are supported?
Four tiers — Entry, Standard, Enterprise, Flagship — covering 4 to 64 GPUs: NVIDIA L20 / L40S / H20 / H100 / H200, plus the full range of domestic accelerators including Huawei Ascend 910B, Cambricon, Hygon DCU, and Kunlunxin. CPU, memory, storage, and network are tuned for AI training and inference workloads (high memory bandwidth, NVMe SSDs, optional 200G InfiniBand). Custom configurations available.
03 Which models come pre-loaded? How fast can I start serving?
MAX ships with the full DeepSeek family (1.5B / 7B / 14B / 32B / 70B / 671B) plus Qwen, Llama, and other mainstream open models, callable out of the box via the OpenAI-compatible API. After racking, power-on, and network configuration — under one hour total — the appliance is ready to serve. No model downloads, conversions, or deployment work required. Customers can start internal PoCs the same day delivery happens.
04 What does the customer need to provide for MAX deployment? Any data center requirements?
Just three things: standard rack space, power (220V / 32A dual-feed recommended), and network uplink. After delivery, RiseUnion engineers handle on-site racking, power-on, network setup, and first-boot validation — about one hour total. No special data center requirements; standard colo or in-house server rooms work fine. Includes 72-hour 24/7 first-line support from RiseUnion engineering.
05 How does inference performance on MAX compare to public cloud providers?
MAX integrates the mainstream vLLM, SGLang, and MindIE inference engines, tuned with Rise VAST optimizations — matching or exceeding mainstream cloud providers at the same model spec. More importantly, private deployment eliminates public-internet transit and bandwidth bottlenecks, delivering more consistent time-to-first-token and end-to-end latency — a meaningful advantage for latency-sensitive workloads like customer service and Coding Agents.
06 How does MAX TCO compare to buying tokens from cloud APIs? What's the payback period?
For a typical enterprise AI workload (10M tokens/day), public cloud API spend usually runs $8-25K USD per month. An entry-tier MAX appliance costs roughly $50-80K upfront, amortizing to about $1.5-2K/month over 3 years — typical payback in 6-12 months. More importantly: data stays inside the perimeter, performance is predictable, and long-term costs are controllable. Contact us for a customized ROI analysis.
07 How are MAX upgrades handled? Hardware and software?
Software upgrades are performed remotely or on-site by RiseUnion engineers. VAST, CAMP, and ModelX support rolling upgrades with zero workload impact, included in annual maintenance. Hardware upgrades support both horizontal scaling (adding nodes to an existing cluster) and vertical upgrades (e.g., GPU replacement), executed on-site by RiseUnion engineers. Includes 3-year manufacturer warranty with optional 5-year extension.
08 Can MAX integrate with existing enterprise systems like ERP, CRM, or monitoring?
The built-in ModelX AI Gateway natively supports OpenAI-compatible API, MCP protocol, and Function Call, enabling zero-glue integration with enterprise ERP, CRM, and OA systems. Monitoring exposes standard Prometheus + Grafana metrics for integration with existing observability platforms. Authentication supports OIDC / LDAP / SAML for IAM integration. All these integrations are validated in production at multiple finance and government customers.
