Was kostet eine On-Premise KI-Lösung?

Die Kosten für On-Premise KI variieren je nach Anforderungen. Hardware-Investitionen starten bei ca. 15.000€, dazu kommen Setup und Implementierung. Langfristig ist On-Premise oft günstiger als Cloud-Lösungen.

Ist On-Premise KI DSGVO-konform?

Ja, On-Premise KI ist die DSGVO-konformste Lösung, da alle Daten in Ihrer eigenen Infrastruktur verbleiben. Es erfolgt keine Datenübertragung an externe Server.

Welche LLM-Modelle können On-Premise betrieben werden?

Moderne Open-Source-Modelle wie Llama, Mistral, Qwen und viele andere können lokal betrieben werden. Diese Modelle bieten Leistung vergleichbar mit GPT-4 bei voller Datenkontrolle.

Private, Self-Hosted AI

Sovereign LLMs that keep your data in-house or inside the EU

Run powerful large language models without sending a single token to OpenAI, Google or any other third-party provider. For regulated and privacy-conscious teams - finance, healthcare, legal, public sector - we deploy open-weight models on your own hardware or a dedicated EU instance, so your proprietary data and customer records never leave your control.

Two Paths to Your Own AI

Either way: dedicated, single-tenant, and no vendor lock-in

On-Premise

On your own hardware

Full control over hardware & software
One-time investment, no ongoing costs
Maximum data sovereignty
Ideal for strict compliance requirements
More cost-effective long-term

Best fit: regulated industries and air-gapped environments where data must physically stay on site

On-Premise Consultation

Cloud-Hosted

Dedicated instance in German data centers

No own hardware needed
Quick start without investment
GDPR-compliant: German data centers
Dedicated instance - no shared resources
Flexibly scalable as needed

Best fit: teams that want EU data residency and a fast start without buying or running GPUs

IT Requirements	Own IT team recommended	Fully managed
Break-Even	Cheaper after ~18 months	Immediately operational
GDPR Status	Full control	EU data center, DPA included

Which Option Suits You?

On-Premise recommended if:

You have an IT team for server maintenance
Data cannot leave the building
Long-term use planned (3+ years)
Existing server infrastructure available

Cloud-Hosted recommended if:

Quick start is important
No own IT team
Flexible scaling desired
Low initial investment preferred

Data Sovereignty by Design

Prompts, documents and customer data stay within your perimeter. Nothing is logged, retained or used for training by a third party - a hard requirement for many regulated workloads.

Audit-Ready & EU-Resident

A clear, demonstrable data flow for GDPR, NIS2 and sector rules: no transatlantic transfers, no opaque sub-processors, full documentation for your audits.

Open-Weight Models, No Lock-In

We run open-weight models like Llama, Mistral or Qwen that you own and can move freely - no per-token pricing and no dependency on a single API vendor.

Tuned to Your Domain

Fine-tuning and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) ground the model in your own knowledge base, so answers reflect your data instead of the public internet.
