November 4, 2024 – Beverwijk, The Netherlands – Today, ITQ announced the launch of a new service offering, the Proof of Concept (POC) for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA. This service marks the first in a larger suite of offerings ITQ plans to introduce, enabling enterprises to develop secure, scalable AI solutions within private cloud environments. Leveraging VMware’s Cloud Foundation, NVIDIA’s powerful AI hardware and software, and Dell’s PowerEdge AI servers, this POC service is purpose-built to empower businesses to confidently build and deploy AI applications, such as custom chatbots, or deep learning apps without compromising security, compliance, or cost-effectiveness.
As AI continues to drive digital transformation, companies are increasingly seeking to develop their own AI-driven solutions, particularly in areas like customer engagement and process automation. However, concerns over data security, IP protection, and unpredictable public cloud costs have prevented many from fully embracing the potential of conversational AI and other AI-driven applications. ITQ’s new POC service provides an answer by delivering a secure, private AI infrastructure that gives organizations complete ownership and control over their data, protected within VMware’s trusted environment, optimized by NVIDIA’s cutting-edge AI capabilities, and Dell’s powerful PowerEdge AI servers.
A Fully Optimized Platform for AI Innovation
With this Proof of Concept service, ITQ offers a platform that combines innovative technology with hands-on support, from the initial build phase to final validation. This includes targeted guidance on environment sizing, NVIDIA hardware integration, and the implementation of automated self-service capabilities—all customized to meet specific business needs and regulatory requirements. The service provides a tailored development environment that includes Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines, automated Lifecycle Management (LCM), and optimized workflows for AI practitioners, enabling streamlined development and management of AI workloads.
“This new service offering enables companies to break through the typical limitations of public cloud environments (for IP-sensitive and privacy-sensitive data), and build AI solutions which are fully compliant and secure,” said Jeffrey Kusters, CTO at ITQ. “For organizations looking to implement AI solutions like conversational AI apps, and real-time video analytics, while maintaining full control over their data, our POC for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA offers a great starting point to run enterprise-ready AI that is both cost-effective and scalable.”
Driving Transformation with Private Cloud AI
The Proof of Concept for VMware Private AI Foundation with NVIDIA is the first of a series of services ITQ will roll out as part of a larger AI-focused portfolio to build platforms to run AI workloads. This suite is designed to support organizations across a wide range of industries, providing secure, private cloud infrastructure for a variety of AI applications, including real-time video analytics, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) solutions, and other AI-driven innovations.
The full-service offering will allow ITQ’s customers to develop diverse AI use cases in a private, controlled environment—empowering businesses to drive transformation with AI while addressing the key challenges of data privacy, regulatory compliance, and operational cost management.
