TLDR : Orange Business has joined the NVIDIA Cloud Partner network, enabling the integration of NVIDIA's technologies and software solutions into its Live Intelligence platform. The partnership aims to offer secure, scalable, and responsible AI solutions to European companies.
Orange Business, the B2B branch of the Orange group, has recently become a member of the NVIDIA Cloud Partner (NCP) network, allowing it to integrate NVIDIA's cutting-edge GPU technologies and advanced software solutions into its Live Intelligence platform, launched last November. The goal of the two partners is to enable European companies, regardless of their size or sector, to create value through secure, scalable, and responsible solutions.
By launching Live Intelligence, Orange Business aimed to remove barriers to the adoption of generative AI (costs, complexity, data security) by offering a secure tool, hosted in Europe, and adapted to concrete everyday professional use cases. By partnering more closely with NVIDIA, a global reference in GPUs, the B2B operator intends to strengthen its GenAI offering by integrating the most advanced hardware and software components of the NVIDIA ecosystem, including the powerful H100 and Blackwell GPUs, specifically designed for large language models (LLMs).
A response to sovereignty and compliance challenges
Deployed within a sovereign framework, Live Intelligence aligns with GDPR requirements as well as 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 their specific constraints, whether regulatory, technical, or budgetary.
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.
On its part, 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 thus allows it to make its technology stack accessible to a larger number of organizations.

To better understand
What do the H100 and Blackwell GPUs specifically bring to large language models (LLMs)?
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.
What are the main regulatory issues related to the use of NVIDIA technologies in Europe?
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.
