HOW SCAN SUPPORTS THE AI JOURNEY - FROM AI TO INFERENCE
As the only UK organisation to deliver both on-premise and hosted systems, Scan provides solutions that support your first idea all the way through to inferencing your fully trained AI model. We are an NVIDIA Elite Partner, an NVIDIA-certified Managed Solution Provider and an award-winning system integrator, having completed thousands of AI projects across a wide range of industry sectors.
Our unique AI Ecosystem is a comprehensive catalogue of products and services, that encompasses every stage of a typical AI journey. It helps with ideas and prototyping, provides all the tools for you to get started on-prem or in the cloud, in a sovereign datacentre or hybrid-cloud environment. We also provide ongoing support, for both infrastructure and software models.
We start with a free guided proof of concept, offering the chance to try out development and training hardware with your own data - all in a secure safe hosted environment, supported by our expert data scientists. This ensures you make the most of your PoC and gain the best insight into how you should proceed.

We turn AI potential into practical solutions, providing free expert-led Ideation Workshops that provide clarity on AI opportunities so you can start shaping your strategy with confidence. Building on this, you can also book a Technical AI Deep-Dive Workshop, enabling your technical teams to build a prototype AI model and develop a clear project plan for seamless integration into your organisation.
Our GPU-accelerated hardware solutions cover every type of development, training and inference systems. Whether from our in-house 3XS Systems, NVIDIA AI appliance portfolio or hosted in the cloud. The first steps in building your AI application starts with either 3XS AI Development Workstations configured with one or more NVIDIA RTX PRO GPUs or the NVIDIA DGX Spark - either offer a great way to get your ideas off the ground at the desktop, with ample performance and memory even for LLMs. For the largest projects the NVIDIA DGX Station GB300 will fit the bill.
Once you progress to server infrastructure we have you covered here too, with NVIDIA-certified EGX and HGX PCIe and SXM multi-GPU servers, plus NVIDIA DGX H200, B200 and B300 AI appliances. These servers offer ground-breaking performance and feature ultra-fast NVIDIA ConnectX and BlueField connectivity. You can read more about these NVIDIA servers in our DGX BLOG POST.
