Zentra to Demo Air-Gapped AI at AI+ Expo 2026
Zentra IT Solutions LLC, a member of the NVIDIA Inception program, will exhibit at the SCSP AI+ Expo on May 7 to 9, 2026 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Zentra will showcase its line of turnkey, air-gapped AI inference appliances purpose-built for the Department of Defense, Intelligence Community, defense primes, and regulated commercial environments.
Each 4U appliance ships with a STIG-aligned RHEL 9 architecture, Active Directory integration, full audit logging, and dual-model concurrent operation running NVIDIA Nemotron-3-Super-120B and Nemotron-Cascade-2-30B on Professional-tier systems and above. The platform is Section 889 and NDAA Section 1628 compliant and supports retrieval-augmented generation across twelve document formats including PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and more.
Zentra's product stack includes ZentraChat for AI conversation and document retrieval, ZentraSec for overnight AI-driven security log analysis mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and ZentraCode for air-gapped coding assistance via CLI and VS Code. All three products run on a single appliance under a single license.
Server tiers start at $35,000 for the Core appliance (1 GPU, 96GB VRAM, 32 concurrent users) and scale to $100,000 for the Enterprise Prime configuration (4 GPUs, 384GB VRAM, 128 concurrent users). A Desk Edition running on the NVIDIA DGX Spark is available for small teams and single-operator use cases.
"Defense organizations shouldn't have to choose between frontier AI and air-gapped security," said Rabih Zeineddine, Founder of Zentra IT Solutions. "We built Zentra to eliminate that tradeoff. Classified networks, SCIFs, and contractor facilities can now run modern reasoning and retrieval models on-premise, with no data leaving the perimeter and no multi-year integration program."
Zentra IT Solutions is SAM-registered (CAGE 18VE2, UEID PDBAEPQ3BN56) and available for direct procurement by federal agencies, defense primes, and regulated commercial buyers.
