AI ready Data Center

Ready for whatever lies ahead
Modern IT does not wait. It scales, automates, and adapts. A strong platform is the driving force behind sustainable business.
Artificial Intelligence
The prompt availability of applications and AI solutions is considered a key competitive factor. Innovation requires an environment that reduces technological complexity and that delivers reliable performance. We implement platforms that professionally support both traditional virtualization and modern container technologies. In doing so, we create architectures that accelerate development cycles whilst ensuring an efficient and secure operation at the same time.
Containerization
Container technologies make it possible for applications to be deployed faster, more consistently, and with greater scalability, regardless of the underlying infrastructure. With Red Hat OpenShift and VMware Tanzu, we count on enterprise-grade Kubernetes platforms that not only simplify the deployment and the operation but also provide integrated security and governance features. Ideal for teams that want to accelerate development cycles whilst remaining in control.
AI Platform
AI models place special requirements on computing power, data security, and infrastructure – especially when sensitive data must not leave the business. Our Enterprise On-Premises AI Platform provides a fully managed environment for the training and the operation of AI models directly in your data center. Full data control, maximum performance, and no compromise on compliance.
ENTERPRISE APPLICATION PLATFORMS
Whether it is a cloud-native application, microservices, or an AI model: every application has its own specific requirements regarding infrastructure and platform. We provide you with support during the entire journey, from traditional virtualization and gradual modernization to fully containerized architectures with Kubernetes. We implement and operate leading solutions such as Red Hat OpenShift, which offer precisely this flexibility and enable the standardized, scalable delivery of various workloads – from simple container deployment to the efficient training of complex AI services.
AUTOMATION & GITOPS
Scalability and compliance are no contradiction, but rather a matter of methodology. With Infrastructure as Code, manual interventions are replaced by defined, versioned configurations. The use of standards such as Terraform and Ansible ensures that every change to the environment remains documented, traceable, and identically repeatable. This technical transparency not only creates speed in the operation but also lays the foundation to reliably fulfil regulatory requirements such as NIS2 or DORA.
Secrets Management
Secrets Management enables centralized, identity-based management of static and dynamic secrets in on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments. Fields of application include amongst others the secure management of static passwords, the automatic rotation of credentials, like for instance those for Active Directory or various databases, Encryption as a Service as well as certificate management. Thereby, NTS relies on IBM HashiCorp Vault and supports businesses to reliably protect sensitive data such as API keys, passwords, and cryptographic keys, to eliminate static credentials from static configuration files, and to fully meet compliance requirements such as NIS2, DORA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001.
“An application is only as effective as the platform on which it runs. Anyone who develops and operates modern software needs an environment that is just as agile as the ideas behind it.”
Andreas Blattl Product Manager, NTSHybrid Cloud
A modern infrastructure makes no distinction between an on-premises data center and a hyperscaler. Whether in the private cloud or with public cloud providers such as AWS or Azure, it is key to appropriately place workloads based on a clear cloud strategy. To securely connect these environments, a consistent integration of networking and security is required. Architecture-based concepts such as defined landing zones ensure that connectivity and compliance operate across platforms. Thus, hybrid environments are created, which flexibly deploy resources where they make the most strategic and economic sense.
F5
F5 enables a secure, high-performance, and highly available provision of modern applications in cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Its solutions include web app and API security, load balancing and traffic management, DDoS defense, and AI security. F5 supports businesses to reliably and efficiently provide and protect digital services.
OBSERVABILITY
In complex environments, basic monitoring is no longer sufficient. True observability provides clarity by connecting data from the areas of infrastructure, applications, and digital experience into a logical context. By intelligent end-to-end monitoring, dependencies are revealed and performance bottlenecks are proactively identified before they impact users. Whether it is conventional IT logs, service management data (ITSM), or information from production (OT), we correlate these sources to form a unified, holistic view. The result is a solid foundation for decision-making that stabilizes the operation and that makes optimization potential measurable.
