Siili Solutions and Verda Offer Local AI Service for Finnish Organizations
Siili Solutions and Verda have partnered to provide Finnish organizations with locally hosted AI solutions. The service addresses growing concerns about data security and control in AI deployments.
Helsinki – Siili Solutions and Verda, formerly DataCrunch, have announced a strategic partnership to offer Finnish enterprises and public sector organizations locally hosted artificial intelligence solutions. This new "Large Language Model-as-a-Service" (LLM-as-a-S) aims to address increasing concerns about potential data exposure with US-based cloud providers.
The new local service is designed for businesses and public sector entities seeking full control over their data and AI endpoints without reliance on US hyperscalers. The solution provides a GDPR-compliant, renewable energy-powered LLM Gateway, fully hosted within Finland. The service is designed for ease of integration and adoption.
"Our clients increasingly ask for secure, local AI capacity that does not compromise governance or expose sensitive data to external jurisdictions," said Tommi Pajala, AI Principal at Siili Solutions. "Verda's Nordic infrastructure provides us with a reliable sovereign option, enabling companies to accelerate AI adoption with confidence."
Particularly in sectors where data protection is non-negotiable, such as finance, healthcare, and public services, this solution offers a sovereign alternative. Siili's LLM gateway, operating on Verda's NVIDIA GPU infrastructure, allows for the use of open-source models in a secure environment without the need for organizations to build their own infrastructure. This also accelerates the development and deployment of AI prototypes by offering a cost-effective and scalable way to leverage artificial intelligence.
Key benefits of the service include sovereign AI endpoints hosted in Finland, zero dependency on US hyperscalers for core AI workloads, easy access to open-source models in a serverless fashion, automatic GDPR compliance, and predictable pricing. Furthermore, all operations are powered by 100% renewable energy, reducing the environmental footprint.
