Nebul has already built its AI factory, with NetApp as the storage layer

"Private and sovereign AI developed in the Netherlands requires storage that can meet the strict requirements set by Nebul and legislation. AI needs access to data to be effective. This is often sensitive data that organizations are unwilling and unable to store just anywhere. Private AI and sovereign AI are therefore becoming increasingly important. Serial entrepreneur Arnold Juffer, CEO of the Dutch company Nebul, saw this coming years ago (long before ChatGPT became available) and got to work."

"The result of Juffer and Nebul's efforts is a PaaS that aims to enable organizations to seamlessly use AI in combination with their own environment. The emphasis is primarily on inference, rather than training. Nebul chose NetApp for its storage needs. We spoke with Juffer and Pascal de Wild, Senior Solutions Engineer at NetApp, about this collaboration, among other things."

"The question that Juffer and his team asked themselves before Nebul finally saw the light of day was clear. In Juffer's words: "How do you make private clouds performant and compliant?" Public clouds are primarily built for convenience, not so much for the best performance, while HPC environments are extremely powerful, but very much tailored to the workloads they run. In between, Juffer saw room for what is now Nebul."

Private and sovereign AI in the Netherlands requires storage meeting strict Nebul and legislative requirements because AI needs access to often sensitive organizational data. Nebul built a PaaS to enable organizations to use AI seamlessly alongside their environments, focusing on inference rather than training. Nebul's foundation in high-performance computing informs its neocloud design, aiming for both compliance and performance where public clouds and HPC each fall short. Nebul partners with Dutch data center operators such as Eurofiber, NorthC Datacenters, and Switch Datacenters to deliver platform services. Nebul selected NetApp to satisfy its demanding storage needs.
