IIoT Data Is Useless If It Rots Inside the Machine
Most IIoT projects don’t fail because of the machines. The sensors work. The controllers …

Everyone is talking about AI, Large Language Models, inference pipelines, custom LLMs, and co-pilots for all conceivable business processes. What is often forgotten: The real value creation does not occur at the prompt, but in the infrastructure on which the models run.
And this is where it quickly becomes uncomfortable.
Anyone seriously wanting to operate AI models for enterprise processes quickly faces two questions: Where does the model run? And who controls who accesses it?
Many are currently blindly heading towards public cloud AI platforms. There are ready-made APIs, nice dashboards, automated training pipelines. Sounds convenient, scales quickly, but becomes expensive. More importantly: Full control over the model, the training data, the hyperparameters, and the inference pipelines remains with the platform provider.
Even more critically: The entire operational and control logic runs through control planes that are not operated under one’s own jurisdiction.
For true enterprise integrations with sensitive data (customer data, business logic, internal knowledge bases, financial data, documentation), this is not an option.
AI only becomes truly exciting when models are closely coupled with one’s own data spaces — in such a way that no foreign systems are involved in the core process.
That’s why you need your own infrastructure, which not only offers some compute, but dedicated GPU workers, management systems for LLM models, clean API gateways, and full integration into the existing enterprise IT.
That’s exactly what we deliver with our AI infrastructure on the Enterprise Cloud: sovereign AI operations on your own hardware, but fully orchestrated and automated. No makeshift solution, no stripped-down cloud substitute, but productive AI operations as an independent component within your own IT landscape.
AI needs compute. But even more, it needs control.
Anyone still outsourcing critical AI models to external platforms today will have to explain tomorrow to whom they have entrusted which data.
The infrastructure decides. And it belongs where the responsibility lies: in your own hands.
