For our existing clients who operate ECL's AI servers on-site, you’re already experiencing the benefits. The ability to seamlessly crawl through the primary shared local G drive for tasks like wav file transcription, PDF file OCR, data analysis during off-peak hours, or "chatting" with your local data during business hours  in real-time without slowing down the main server are some clear benefits.

On the other hand, for other clients who have chosen cloud as their primary shared file storage system, incorporating cloud services like Google Drive or Microsoft 365 OneDrive, or SharePoint, our AI server provides the flexibility to download files to the local G drive for processing overnight, and then upload them using an RPA system. However, it’s crucial to be mindful of potential delays and data sovereignty and abuse concerns when relying exclusively on cloud storage. For more information on how to put these practices into action, please contact our service department.

If you’re not currently an ECL client, here are some compelling reasons why you might consider investing in an ECL local AI server:

Efficiency: With a local AI server, you can perform tasks such as transcription, PDF OCR, or data analysis directly on your primary shared global drive. This means you can process large amounts of data quickly and efficiently, without the need for time-consuming uploads or downloads.

Real-Time Interaction: A local AI server allows you to interact with your data in near real-time. This can be particularly useful for tasks that require immediate feedback or quick decision making.Control Over

Data Sovereignty: With a local AI server, your data stays on your premises. This gives you full control over your data and helps to mitigate any data sovereignty issues that can arise when using cloud storage.

Reduced Latency: Since the data is processed locally, you can expect lower latency compared to cloud-based solutions. This can lead to improved performance for your AI tasks.

Cost Savings: While there’s an upfront cost associated with purchasing a local AI server (starting $3K), it can lead to significant cost savings in the long run. You won’t have to worry about ongoing cloud storage costs, and you can scale your AI tasks without incurring additional expenses.

Remember, ECL’s service department is always ready to assist you with implementing these practices. So why wait? Enhance your data processing capabilities with a local AI server today! 😊
