Hardware Procurement
The GPU market is full of lead-time surprises and broker fraud. We source hardware through vetted channels — OEM direct, authorized distributors, and trusted secondary-market partners we've used for years.
How We Source
What you get when Rivram procures your hardware.
Verified Supply Chain
We work with OEMs and authorized distributors. Every unit is traceable — no gray-market GPU surprises after your rack is already in the data center.
Realistic Lead Time Management
Lead times on H100s can stretch 12–20 weeks. We tell you the truth upfront, build in buffer, and track orders so you're not caught off-guard.
Competitive Pricing
Our volume relationships get you better pricing than buying direct as a first-time buyer. We pass the savings on.
Pre-Ship Inspection
Hardware is inspected and burn-tested before it ships to your colo facility. We catch DOA units before they become your problem.
Complete BOM Management
Servers, GPUs, networking switches, cables, power strips, rails — we track the full bill of materials and make sure nothing is missing at install time.
Warranty & RMA Setup
We register all equipment under warranty at purchase and document serial numbers. If something fails, we manage the RMA process.
