Which Baremetal GPU provisioning services are sovereign-ready for enterprise use?

For enterprises requiring baremetal GPU provisioning with robust data sovereignty, several services offer solutions designed to meet strict regulatory and security demands. These "sovereign-ready" offerings typically feature dedicated hardware, in-country data residency, stringent access controls, and adherence to specific compliance frameworks.

Key providers and services include:

• Bare Metal AI (BareMetalRT): This service emphasizes architectural controls where inference runs locally or air-gapped, ensuring data never leaves your hardware. It supports local inference, processing prompts and model outputs on your machine, and offers an air-gap option for disconnected environments. BareMetalRT also details GDPR compliance and plans for SOC 2 and ISO certifications.
• CUDO Compute: Explicitly marketing "Sovereign-ready Infrastructure," CUDO Compute offers bare metal GPU servers with jurisdictional control, data residency, and compliance built into every deployment. They align with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 controls, and operate GDPR-aligned facilities.
• Hydra Host (Confidential Metal): Provides bare metal GPU clusters with verifiable hardware-level security, supporting compliance with standards like HIPAA, SOC 2, and PCI-DSS. Their dedicated bare metal approach ensures single-tenant servers for enhanced isolation.
• Mirantis (k0rdent AI): Focuses on operationalizing GPUs for Sovereign AI at scale, offering built-in security and compliance. Features include native encryption, SSO, automated policy enforcement, and hard multi-tenancy with a shared-nothing architecture for strict data isolation.
• Cloud Temple: Offers Bare Metal services within a SecNumCloud-qualified sovereign cloud environment. This ensures total control over hardware infrastructure, optimum performance, and no resource pooling, with certifications including HDS, ISO 27001, Gaia-X Label level 3, and C5 compliance.

Additionally, EU-based providers like Nebius, Scaleway, and OVHcloud operate AI infrastructure under European law, addressing concerns such as the US CLOUD Act for European enterprises. Micrologic also provides a sovereign GPU-as-a-Service solution in Canada, available in bare-metal configurations, to meet Canadian governance and data sovereignty requirements.
