How the Wrong Motherboard Leaves Lakhs of Hardware Sitting Idle: PCIe Lane Budgets Explained
If you’re currently shopping for a workstation with multiple GPUs, you’re likely trying to linearly scale your workflow by loading bigger models or cutting render times. However, we frequently see custom multi-GPU builds fall far short of expectations. We see that three GPUs are pegged at 100%, while the fourth sits idle, waiting. The culprit…

Engineering a High-Throughput Storage Server for KVN Productions
KVN Productions is the powerhouse studio behind Toxic, one of the most highly anticipated and a lot of other high-budget productions in Indian cinema. With a massive scale comes an equally massive technical footprint. As post-production ramped up, the studio’s internal VFX and animation teams hit a critical infrastructure bottleneck: their storage solution could not…

AI Training vs. Inference: How to Choose the Right AI Workstation
We have gotten used to people calling us and saying “I need an AI workstation.” It sounds like a simple request, but it’s actually impossible to Generalizing it as an “AI PC” is a trap because artificial intelligence workloads split into two completely different jobs that stress computer hardware in different ways. If you get…

What Can 384GB of VRAM actually do?
There is no other machine like this in India, Period. It has four RTX 6000 Pro Blackwells and a Threadripper enclosed in a full custom liquid loop – all inside a single chassis. And if you tried to build something similar yourself, you’re looking at somewhere between 60 to 70 lakhs. This is a follow-up…

What are vGPUs? Here’s all you need to know about it.
A vGPU (virtual GPU) is a technology that lets one physical GPU be split into multiple independent virtual GPUs. Each virtual GPU can be assigned to a separate virtual machine (VM), so different users or teams get dedicated GPU acceleration inside their own isolated environment. Instead of buying and maintaining many separate GPU workstations, a…

Building an Enterprise Photogrammetry Workstation
Most people think good photogrammetry is all about software. Metashape, Pix4D, Reality Capture, and so on. In reality, the real hero is the hardware under the table. Back in 2022, we had to build a workstation for heavy industrial photogrammetry work, think thousands of drone photos turning into centimeter-level 3D maps for mines, roads, and…

How we built a system for real-time AI Vehicle Automation
Autopilot in Indian traffic needs fast, local computation. Cloud adds latency and risk. Our friends at Swaayatt Robots wanted a zero lag, zero excuses, fully on board solution. About the client Swaayatt Robots is a vehicle automation company based in Bhopal. Their cars sense, decide, and drive on their own in dense Indian traffic without…
