Why Private Cloud

When shared infrastructure is not an option, private cloud gives you the performance, isolation, and control that regulated workloads demand.

Data Sovereignty

Your data never leaves your jurisdiction. Choose where it lives, who accesses it, and under which legal framework it operates. Full compliance with EU regulations and the EU AI Act.

Regulatory Compliance

Purpose-built to meet GDPR, HDS, and DORA requirements. Auditable infrastructure with end-to-end documentation for regulators.

Performance Consistency

No noisy neighbors. Dedicated compute, storage, and networking resources mean predictable latency, guaranteed throughput, and performance that never fluctuates.

Security by Design

Encryption at rest and in transit, dedicated firewalls, microsegmentation, continuous monitoring with Sismology and Journalogy. Every layer hardened, every access logged.

Built for Regulated Industries

We serve organizations where a single compliance failure can mean millions in fines, lost licenses, or compromised patient safety. Our private cloud is engineered for that reality.

End-to-End GPU Cluster Lifecycle

From site selection to daily operations, we own every step of the process.

01

Data Center Identification

We evaluate dozens of colocation providers worldwide based on your constraints: electricity cost, power availability, cooling capacity, network latency to your users, data sovereignty requirements, and physical security standards. We negotiate contracts and secure rack space on your behalf.

02

Energy & Power Management

GPU clusters are power-hungry. We design the electrical architecture (N+1 or 2N redundancy), optimize PUE with liquid cooling solutions where needed, negotiate energy contracts for the best kWh rates, and plan for renewable energy sourcing to meet your ESG targets.

03

FinOps & GPU Procurement

We model total cost of ownership across buy, lease, and cloud scenarios to find the most cost-effective path. We handle GPU procurement (NVIDIA, AMD), negotiate volume pricing with hardware vendors, manage delivery timelines, and structure financing options that preserve your cash flow.

04

Rack Design & Installation

Our engineers design the physical rack layout, high-bandwidth networking (InfiniBand, RoCE), storage tiers, and cooling distribution. We handle on-site installation, firmware provisioning, OS deployment, and burn-in testing to ensure every node is production-ready before handover.

05

Platform & Software Stack

We deploy Kubernetes with GPU scheduling, container runtimes optimized for AI workloads, model serving frameworks, distributed training orchestration, and monitoring dashboards. Your AI team gets a ready-to-use platform with APIs, not bare metal to figure out.

06

24/7 Run & Operations

Our NOC monitors hardware health, GPU utilization, thermal conditions, and network performance around the clock. We handle proactive maintenance, GPU replacements, firmware updates, capacity planning, and incident response — so your AI team never has to worry about the infrastructure layer.

Why Private GPU Clusters vs. Cloud GPU?

Cost Predictability

No surprise bills. Fixed monthly costs that decrease over time as you amortize hardware. At scale, private GPU is 30-50% cheaper than cloud equivalents.

Guaranteed Capacity

No fighting for GPU availability during peak demand. Your GPUs are yours, dedicated and always available when your training jobs need them.

Data Sovereignty

Your models and training data never leave your infrastructure. Full compliance with GDPR, HDS, and any sector-specific regulation.

Zero Lock-In

No proprietary APIs or cloud-specific tooling. Standard open-source stack (Kubernetes, PyTorch, vLLM) that works anywhere, forever.

Compliance & Certifications

We do not just help you pass audits. We build infrastructure that makes compliance the default state, not an afterthought.

Client Story

How Paymium Secures Millions in Digital Assets

Paymium, France's first licensed Bitcoin exchange, needed infrastructure that could withstand nation-state-level threats while maintaining regulatory compliance with French and EU financial authorities. Shared cloud was never an option.

IG1 designed and deployed a fully air-gapped private cloud environment with Hardware Security Module (HSM) integration for cryptographic key management. Cold storage wallets operate in a network-isolated environment with no internet connectivity. Hot wallet systems run on dedicated bare metal with real-time monitoring via Sismology.
