The limitations of cloud AI for SMEs
These constraints hinder performance and put your data at risk.
Cloud-hosted AI solutions, particularly in the United States, pose real problems for French companies:
Confidentiality not guaranteed
Internal data is being transferred to US clouds, outside the EU, creating a legal and organizational risk.
Lack of sovereignty
The models, usage rules, and even availability depend on an external supplier.
Variable and unpredictable costs
Billing on demand, automatic escalation of costs based on volume, lack of budget control.
Unstable latency and performance
Each request goes over the Internet: network congestion, slowdowns, dependence on the provider's load.
Risk of cut-off or limitation
Les politiques des plateformes évoluent sans préavis (limites de tokens, quotas, restrictions d’usage).
Compliance issues for French SMEs
Sharing sensitive data on non-sovereign clouds can put the company in difficulty with regard to the GDPR.
Sovereign local AI: concrete benefits for your SME
Your AI, at home. Fast, secure and completely autonomous.
Total confidentiality
No data leaves your company. Documents remain on your internal network, without transit to an American cloud.
Technological sovereignty
You remain in control of your models, your uses, and your data. No external provider dictates your rules.
Fixed and predictable costs
No more pay-per-request costs and surprise bills. One appliance = one controlled budget.
Immediate performance
AI works locally: no latency related to the Internet, stability even during periods of high activity.
Operational Resilience
Even in the event of an internet outage or WAN congestion, your AI continues to function.
Enhanced security
AI runs within your infrastructure, integrated with your access controls, SSO, network segmentation, and local logging.
