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.
