# Buy the platform through a partner

Through system integrator and component-vendor partners only; LM TEK does not sell the platform direct. End customers: use the platform enquiry and LM TEK will discuss the project, share available technical insight and connect you with the most appropriate regional partner.

A barebone platform: LM TEK supplies the chassis, the integrated cooling loop, and platform-level power. You specify the board, CPUs, GPUs, memory, and storage.

## Platforms through partners; components and Custom Engineering direct.

### Platforms are partner-only

Work with a system integrator or distribution partner to specify and source the populated compute components, integration and delivery. An evaluation barebone starts from the same platform model; discuss the intended evaluation with engineering and the supplying partner.

### Direct component enquiries

Standalone components are browsable directly. Use Send inquiry on a component to discuss availability and the intended application.

### Direct Custom Engineering

Custom Engineering works with you directly, including on projects a partner brings to us. Describe the application in the project brief.

[Explore the flagship platform](/ai-hpc-servers/4u8gpu10kw)

The platform ships with pre-defined validation specs: supported board formats and sockets, the per-slot GPU envelope, block availability and the operating limits. A configuration inside them is quotable as is. For a configuration outside them, or a bespoke cooling requirement, LM TEK engineering is available to the partner.

### Send the platform enquiry

Describe the deployment: the workload, the room and the configuration you have in mind.

### Talk it through with LM TEK

LM TEK will discuss the project and share available technical insight.

### Work with a regional partner

LM TEK connects you with the most appropriate regional partner.

## Find a system integrator partner in your market.
