Deployment

A lean, sovereign footprint — engineered for the real world.

Examinations stay paper-based; hosting is in-country and managed; AI is on-premise; centres work offline. The result is a predictable, sovereign programme with no dependency on foreign infrastructure.

Illustrated aimeXM sovereign topology — national data centre, regional exam-board nodes and exam-centre edge kits, connected by one-way replication, with default-deny egress and a hardware bill of materials.
National core, regional nodes, offline-first centres — everything auditable, nothing leaves the border.

Sovereign, in-country hosting

Compute, storage and disaster recovery are provided as a managed, in-country service. Data does not leave national borders. Government retains custody of keys and source.

  • Default-deny egress
  • M-of-N key custody
  • Full source & key handover

On-premise AI, fixed-cost

AI workloads (OMR, anomaly detection, marker assistance) run on a right-sized on-premise NVIDIA server. A capital cost, not a metered cloud bill.

  • No metered inference
  • Enclave-local processing
  • Predictable capacity

Offline-first endpoints

Exam-day devices are built to work with no internet and ride out power cuts. Battery/UPS/solar backup is in the bill of materials; sync resumes automatically.

  • Local write-through cache
  • Sealed uploads on reconnect
  • MDM-managed fleet
Bill of materials · overview

Clear ownership at every layer.

Hardware is a separate capital line, procured to a costed BOM. Every layer has a named owner — no ambiguity, no drift.
