Orange Business Strengthens AI Partnership with NVIDIA

Orange Business, the B2B branch of the Orange group, has officially become a member of the NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) network. This strategic alliance allows Orange Business to integrate NVIDIA's cutting-edge GPU technologies and advanced software solutions into its Live Intelligence platform, launched last November. The partnership is aimed at enabling European companies, regardless of size or sector, to create value through secure, scalable, and responsible AI solutions.

By launching Live Intelligence, Orange Business sought to remove barriers to the adoption of generative AI, such as costs, complexity, and data security. The platform is hosted in Europe, ensuring compliance with GDPR and sectoral privacy standards. Through this partnership, Orange Business will strengthen its GenAI offering by integrating NVIDIA’s most advanced hardware and software components, including the powerful H100 and Blackwell GPUs, specifically designed for large language models (LLMs).

Deployed within a sovereign framework, Live Intelligence aligns with GDPR requirements and sectoral privacy standards. Data is hosted on Cloud Avenue, the cloud infrastructure operated by Orange Business, within data centers located in Europe. On-premise or hybrid deployment options allow organizations to adapt their AI infrastructure to specific regulatory, technical, or budgetary constraints.

Beyond infrastructure, Orange Business offers end-to-end support, from identifying high-potential use cases to their operational implementation, including training and familiarizing teams with generative AI tools. By relying on an actor like Orange Business, capable of integrating its GPU technologies and software solutions into sovereign, controlled, and compliant environments with European regulations, NVIDIA expands its presence in the European cloud ecosystem. This partnership allows NVIDIA to make its technology stack accessible to a larger number of organizations.

NVIDIA's H100 and Blackwell GPUs are designed to optimize the workloads of large language models by enhancing training and inference performance through advanced architecture that accelerates matrix computations needed for LLMs. The main regulatory concerns in Europe involve GDPR compliance, data sovereignty, and interoperability with sectoral data protection standards. The integration of NVIDIA technologies must adhere to these requirements to ensure user rights are protected.

This partnership is a significant step forward in addressing sovereignty and compliance challenges while providing European companies with cutting-edge AI solutions that are secure, scalable, and responsible.
