Your choice depends entirely on your starting data footprint, active user scale, and physical processing throughput needs. As the iMBrace software platform’s features are standard and unlocked on every tier, you only need to select the physical hardware scale (1, 2, or 3 nodes) and SLA support level that fits your business.

AI Essentials is the perfect starting point. It provides a single Lenovo PGX Node (2TB) that easily hosts your local corporate documents and policy guidelines, giving your team secure local search and instant access to preconfigured AI Assistants.

We recommend AI Team (2 nodes) or AI Scale (3 nodes). Because all software features are standard, clustering multiple Lenovo PGX hardware nodes simply scales your physical processing power, expands local secure SSD storage, and increases user concurrency capacity.

Yes, absolutely. You can easily scale your private AI environment by physical clustering. As your corporate knowledge database and active user base grow, you can seamlessly add more Lenovo PGX Nodes and expand your local storage pools without any software disruptions.

No upgrade is required. Advanced integration tools—including database connectors, custom assistant builders, and multi-assistant orchestration—are fully unlocked and standard across all configurations, from AI Essentials to AI Scale.

You can deploy any configuration. Complete enterprise security, local data privacy, role-based access control, and strict local audit logging are built into the core iMBrace platform standard on all tiers. For regulated environments, we simply recommend choosing the AI Team or AI Scale packages to include our standard Paid or Enterprise SLA support for guaranteed operational response times.

No. Your total physical data footprint (the size of files, databases, and knowledge repositories to be stored locally) and your real-time processing throughput needs are much more important factors than employee headcount alone.
