DataRobot and Nutanix Partner to Deliver Turnkey AI for On-Premises Deployments

Many organizations are under strict data security and governance guidelines, or have multi-cloud constraints, and thus can’t solely leverage cloud-hosted generative AI models. But that doesn’t stop these organizations from staying at the forefront of the AI and LLM revolution. DataRobot, when paired with Nutanix’s GPT-in-a-Box solution, delivers cutting-edge training and inference for predictive and generative models that can be deployed in hours while maintaining governance, compliance, observability, and most importantly, security. This entire turnkey solution can be deployed in an air-gapped environment anywhere in the world, even in the most secure or extreme locations. 

Announced at Nutanix .NEXT 2024 in Barcelona, this partnership combines streamlined data center operations and GPT-in-a-Box from Nutanix with the leading AI platform for governance from DataRobot. Together, Nutanix and DataRobot give enterprises the only full-stack offering in the market for achieving AI sovereignty, bringing the latest capabilities into a secure on-prem environment and giving organizations complete control over their data and their AI stack.

This means that companies with the highest security standards have a clear path past the biggest hurdles encountered when building an on-prem stack, resulting in faster time-to-market and higher ROI while delivering the  flexibility to adapt and keep up with innovation.

DataRobot streamlines and accelerates the process of building impactful AI apps and simplifies the process of monitoring those apps, no matter where they’re deployed. This enables  organizations to move past infrastructure problems and focus on solving business problems. DataRobot’s robust governance tools makes it easy to manage users, ensure models are safe before they’re deployed, and ensure complete regulatory compliance. 

We’re dedicated to helping our customers build, use, and manage AI safely. We’re excited to work with Nutanix to create the GPT-in-a-box solution, which will help organizations speed up their journey to AI value with enterprise-grade security, performance, and control. 

DataRobot & Nutanix: End-to-End Platform Experience

A growing number of organizations are adopting  on-premises data center or private cloud deployments as part of  their AI stack. 59% plan to run AI inference workloads on-prem or in private cloud demanding simplified, unified tooling:

• Streamlined Integration: AI stacks can take weeks — or even months — to properly ramp up, extending the time to ROI and distracting data science teams from more valuable work. Luckily, Nutanix and DataRobot have done the hard work to ensure that security-minded teams can set up their AI stack in days, significantly shortening the path to AI impact.   (Link to Nutanix + DataRobot TechNote)
• Total Data Privacy: Many organizations are turning to open source AI models and tools to ensure transparency for their enterprise AI efforts. Nutanix and DataRobot provide these models alongside enhanced data security, governance, and best practices for a transparent and highly secure approach to AI that meets the most stringent standards.
• End-to-End Experience: Eliminate tool sprawl, complicated licensing, and reduce silos with a complete turnkey enterprise AI solution.
