(PRESS RELEASE) PARIS, 19-Nov-2024 — /EuropaWire/ — Atos has unveiled its Sovereign AI Platform, an innovative solution designed to empower organizations in the public and private sectors with robust, on-premise infrastructure tailored for the production and lifecycle management of AI and Generative AI (GenAI) models. As a key component of Atos Group’s Sovereign AI portfolio, this platform complements the BullSequana AI offering by addressing critical concerns around data sovereignty, privacy, and latency. Built on a reference architecture incorporating Dell Technologies’ cutting-edge GenAI solutions, it provides organizations with unparalleled control over their data and AI models through comprehensive end-to-end services.

The Atos Sovereign AI Platform is engineered to standardize and operationalize AI and GenAI model deployment across diverse industries, including healthcare, finance, utilities, and the public sector. By creating a scalable and secure environment, the platform ensures adaptability to local IT sovereignty standards. Currently available in France, Germany, and the UK, the rollout is set to expand to additional regions in the future.

Designed to address the entire AI model lifecycle, Atos offers managed services that span machine learning operations (MLOps), application integration, and on-premise delivery of AI solutions. Services include business need analysis, use case evaluation, model customization, and implementation, creating a streamlined approach to AI adoption that minimizes complexity.

This platform is tailored to organizations aiming to harness AI while mitigating risks such as intellectual property theft, data leaks, and compliance breaches. Acknowledging the challenges faced by IT decision-makers—37% of whom hesitate to adopt GenAI due to sovereignty concerns—Atos presents a secure, localized solution. Gartner research underscores the urgency, revealing that 79% of corporate leaders view AI and analytics as essential to their strategies.

Atos addresses these challenges through a customized framework that enables AI software to operate close to organizational data, ensuring security across the hardware and software stack. Virtualization and containerization technologies optimize the required infrastructure while managing performance and resource allocation dynamically. The solution’s on-premise monitoring capabilities also enhance cost predictability, reduce latency, and support energy efficiency through Kubernetes clusters, reusable model libraries, and standardized API call formats.

To help organizations scale AI initiatives effectively, Atos leverages its global Technology Consulting, Data and AI teams, supported by localized service centers and the innovative Atos Inno’Labs network. These centers bring together experts in AI, MLOps, and data science, fostering collaboration with local innovation ecosystems to ensure successful project deployment.

This latest addition strengthens Atos Group’s expansive Sovereign AI offerings, which include high-performance AI solutions such as BullSequana AI, Edge, and enterprise-focused technologies. The platform also integrates with Atos’s GenAI acceleration program and is backed by the company’s extensive expertise in security services, data sovereignty, and compliance with emerging AI regulations like the European AI Act.

Stéphane Richard, Global Head of Technology Services at Atos, highlighted the transformative potential of this collaboration: “By combining Dell Technologies’ leadership in on-premise solutions with Atos’s expertise in AI and MLOps, we are equipping organizations with the tools to embrace data sovereignty and fully unlock the potential of AI and GenAI.”

Alexandre Brousse, Head of Partners, EMEA at Dell Technologies, emphasized the strategic partnership: “Atos and Dell Technologies are committed to delivering secure and innovative solutions that empower customers to advance their sovereign AI initiatives while accessing state-of-the-art technology.”

Delivered by Atos Technology Services, the platform offers a comprehensive suite of consulting, integration, and support services, cementing Atos’s position as a leader in AI-driven innovation and sovereignty solutions.
