Four ways to get a working NOMAD setup

Choose a bring-your-own-hardware installation or a sourced appliance tier. Each option includes Project NOMAD installation, configuration, testing, and setup documentation; the difference is whether you provide the computer and how much performance, storage, and headroom you want.

Loaded content is available locally without a required monthly subscription from us. The normal buying decision is a one-time installation service or appliance purchase based on whether you already have compatible hardware and how much offsite performance and storage you need. The data stays on the appliance you control. When a connection is available later, the appliance can be refreshed with updated content, software updates, or added resources.
