Beyond AI announced a strategic partnership with Compal to introduce AI in a Box, an on-premises enterprise AI offering for organizations requiring full control over data and infrastructure while applying AI to real-time industrial automation and optimization. As enterprise adoption of generative and decision-supporting AI accelerates, many industrial organizations are encountering the limits of cloud-centric approaches. Requirements around data sovereignty, predictable operating costs, latency, and operational risk are driving demand for AI systems that can be deployed and managed entirely within enterprise environments.
AI in a Box addresses these challenges by delivering a pre-configured, on-premises enterprise AI infrastructure system that combines hardware, software, and ongoing support into a single deployable solution. The offering enables organizations to move beyond AI pilots and deploy production-ready AI capabilities on-site, without reliance on public cloud services. Each AI in a Box configuration is built on Compal's SX420-2A high-performance AI server platform, equipped with NVIDIA H200 GPUs, and delivered with Beyond AI's solutions pre-installed and configured for on-premises operation.
Beyond AI delivers explainable AI within the AI in a Box, with a full audit trail for real-time industrial automation and optimization in complex industrial operations. The system is designed for continuous use in mission-critical environments, supporting low-latency processing, predictable performance, and long-term operational stability. Unlike AI appliances focused narrowly on model execution, AI in a Box is positioned as a turnkey enterprise AI infrastructure solution. It is designed to support governance, auditability, and controlled access while providing organizations with predictable economics through on-premises ownership rather than consumption-based pricing.
At LNG2026, the companies will demonstrate how AI in a Box can be deployed within existing infrastructure, operated as a self-contained AI environment, and scaled over time, providing a practical path from experimentation to sustained enterprise AI adoption. "Industrial organizations need AI systems they can operate and govern over the long term," said Aj Abdallat, CEO at Beyond AI. "Together with Compal we are delivering a turnkey solution designed to behave like infrastructure, giving organizations control, predictability, and a clear operational model for deploying enterprise AI on their own terms."
"AI transformation in LNG is not only about advanced software," said Alan Chang, Vice President of Compal's Infrastructure Systems Business Unit. "It depends on a validated, high-performance computing platform that can support mission-critical AI workloads continuously and reliably. The SX420-2A was designed to be that foundation, enabling the entire Enterprise AI architecture from Beyond AI to operate securely, stably, and at full industrial scale." Through this collaboration, Beyond AI and Compal are providing organizations with a deployable model for sovereign, on-premises AI that aligns with the operational, regulatory, and economic realities of complex industrial sectors.
The partnership represents a significant development for industries like energy, manufacturing, and logistics where data sensitivity, real-time decision-making, and infrastructure control are paramount. By offering a hardware-software integrated solution, the companies address the growing need for AI systems that can operate independently of cloud connectivity while maintaining enterprise-grade performance and reliability. This approach could accelerate AI adoption in sectors previously hesitant due to concerns about data privacy, operational continuity, and long-term cost management.
