Orange Business Joins NVIDIA Cloud Partner Network
Orange Business recently joined the NVIDIA Partner Network as an NVIDIA Cloud Partner to deliver sovereign AI solutions across Europe.
The telecommunications company will serve its 30,000 B2B customers through its Live Intelligence platform, which integrates Nvidia’s GPU technologies with Orange’s existing infrastructure and AI services.
Such a collaboration aims to address European data sovereignty requirements by hosting AI workloads within Orange's Cloud Avenue infrastructure. The company operates data centres across Europe, enabling both on-premises and hybrid deployment models that comply with GDPR and local data governance regulations.
This approach allows enterprises to harness AI capabilities whilst maintaining control over sensitive data and meeting regional compliance standards.
Integrating NVIDIA GPU acceleration into Live Intelligence
Data sovereignty has become a priority for European businesses as regulatory frameworks tighten around data privacy and localisation requirements.
With this in mind, the collaboration between Orange Business and Nvidia provides organisations with AI solutions that meet these regulatory demands without compromising performance or functionality.
The collaboration allows Orange Business to incorporate Nvidia’s GPU technologies and full-stack software solutions into its existing AI services. The enhanced Live Intelligence platform provides GPU acceleration whilst maintaining privacy standards for enterprise customers across multiple sectors.
Orange Business operates as the enterprise division of Orange Group across 65 countries with 30,000 employees, combining connectivity, cloud and cybersecurity services. The company serves customers ranging from small and medium enterprises to large multinationals, providing consulting and strategic support for AI implementation.
Its teams deliver training and support to drive workforce adoption, align solutions with business objectives and address technical challenges.
The integration of Nvidia technology enables Orange Business to scale Gen AI securely through its platform infrastructure. This addresses the growing demand from European enterprises seeking to implement AI solutions whilst maintaining data control and regulatory compliance.
Usman Javaid, Chief Product and Marketing Officer at Orange Business, says: “Orange Business and NVIDIA collaboration will democratise access to AI and accelerate enterprise adoption through the Live Intelligence platform, offering best-in-class AI technologies while maintaining a strong focus on sovereignty.”
The collaboration also forms part of Orange's ‘Lead the Future’ strategic plan, introduced in 2023. This division provides digital infrastructure services across multiple countries, with customers relying on integrated solutions for their transformation requirements.
Offering data centre infrastructure support
Through the NVIDIA Partner Network membership, Orange Business gains access to a comprehensive ecosystem of tools and support systems for enterprise AI deployment.
The partnership enables the company to address varying enterprise requirements across different market segments, from small businesses to large corporations with complex infrastructure needs.
Likewise, it targets organisations seeking AI implementation without compromising data control or regulatory compliance. Orange Business provides personalised training and support services to help customers integrate AI tools into their daily operations, addressing technical challenges and ensuring business alignment.
The company’s approach includes strategic consulting to help enterprises navigate the complexities of AI adoption.
European enterprises are facing increasing regulatory requirements for data localisation and privacy protection, particularly under GDPR and other local governance frameworks. Orange Business and Nvidia hope to address these concerns through infrastructure hosted within European data centres, ensuring compliance with regional standards whilst delivering performance capabilities.
“AI is the next essential infrastructure for businesses,” says Chris Penrose, Vice President of Business Development, Telco at NVIDIA.
“Orange Business is providing trusted AI innovation with advanced NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI, enabling organisations from Small Medium Business to Large Enterprises to unlock new value with secure, scalable and responsible solutions.”
