The Optimal Basis for Your AI Projects

Productive AI applications require stable, powerful IT infrastructure. Only when data can be processed efficiently, algorithms can be trained reliably, and digital processes can be operated securely can AI deliver real added value.

As an AI enabler, CANCOM provides the foundation for productive, individually tailored, scalable, and practical application scenarios. Decisive factors include not only computing power, but also an architecture that can be flexibly expanded, complement existing systems, and meet the highest security requirements.

We support you in setting up a robust, future-proof infrastructure that is technology-neutral, strategically well-thought-out, and optimally tailored to your use cases.

Consult with our system — our AI infrastructure bundles

Whether you’re creating your first prototype or preparing for a productive rollout, our three infrastructure bundles provide the practical, predictable, and scalable support you need for your project.

Bundle 1: Build Your Own Perfect Match

The ideal introduction to AI for pilot projects and manageable scenarios with a clear proof-of-concept goal. It is perfectly suited for validating your models under real-world conditions, with a focus on flexibility and cost control.

Bundle 2: AI Stack Bundle

Scale with a plan for validated use cases, initial productive applications, and clear performance requirements. The AI Stack includes all the necessary infrastructure components, which are tailored to the architecture, sizing, and operating model.

Bundle 3: Sovereign AI as a Service

This bundle is ideal for companies seeking enterprise-scale, sovereign AI platforms, including those requiring governance, compliance, lifecycle management, and integration into complex corporate landscapes. This bundle is ideal for companies with high control and regulatory requirements.

Your advantage: structure, predictability, and customizable scaling.

Our bundles provide a clear architecture, predictable resources, practical recommendations, and fast implementation without oversizing. This enables you to scale your infrastructure according to your needs, from the initial pilot project to large-scale production.

The most important infrastructure components

A powerful AI environment consists of precisely coordinated components. In addition to computing power, storage architecture, networking, cooling, and data management are crucial, especially in scenarios involving large amounts of data and GPU acceleration.

Our central components at a glance:

  • Computing power (CPU/GPU): Tailored to the respective AI model for training, inference, and analysis.

  • Storage architecture: Fast, low-latency access to structured and unstructured data

  • Network: High bandwidth for smooth data exchange between systems and accelerators

  • Cooling and energy efficiency: Intelligent strategies for reliable, sustainable operation (e.g., air or liquid cooling).

  • Operating models: Flexible implementation in cloud, edge, or on-premises environments depending on security requirements and scaling needs

  • Data platform: Integrates tools for data streaming, storage, and metadata management to support powerful AI processes and the integration of DataOps and metadata management.

This infrastructure is ideal for using the CANCOM Enterprise AI Suite and enables powerful, scalable AI solutions tailored to your needs.

Strong Partners for Scalable AI Infrastructures

We use proven technologies from trusted partners like NVIDIA, Intel, HPE, Dell, and IBM to build your infrastructure. At the same time, we remain vendor-neutral, always choosing the solution that best fits your technical and strategic requirements.

This setup is complemented by modern open-source technologies and CANCOM’s own developments, such as the CANCOM Assistant.

The result is a scalable, top-level infrastructure combined with independent consulting and in-depth technological expertise.

Compliance, governance & integration

Modern AI infrastructures must function properly and meet the highest standards of security, data protection, and integration. That is why we consider regulatory and interface requirements from the outset.

Our focus areas at a glance:

  • Data protection and GDPR compliance – ensuring the legal processing of sensitive data

  • Access concepts and SSO integration – with clear role models and central authentication

  • System compatibility – smooth integration into ERP, CRM, and other third-party systems

  • Governance and operational responsibility – transparent responsibilities and clear operating models
