SHERIDAN, WYOMING – Feb. 12, 2025 – T-Systems has launched its AI Foundation Services, providing enterprises with a secure and scalable platform for deploying AI solutions. These services offer a range of pre-configured tools and Large Language Models (LLMs), enabling businesses to leverage AI effectively while maintaining data security and sovereignty.
Ready-to-Use AI for Enterprise Scaling
AI Foundation Services provide a private and secure environment for developing, testing, and deploying AI models. This platform is designed to meet stringent data security and privacy requirements, making it suitable for even the most sensitive industries. The pre-configured models and services allow for rapid deployment and facilitate enterprise-wide scaling of AI solutions across various business units and regions. This eliminates the need for companies to build their AI infrastructure from scratch, accelerating their AI adoption journey.
Extensive Portfolio of LLMs and Services
T-Systems' AI Foundation Services boast a continuously expanding portfolio of over 15 LLMs. This includes leading open-source models like Meta Llama 3.3, Mistral Small 3, and DeepSeek R1. Beyond LLMs, the services include pre-configured tools for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and model fine-tuning. RAG empowers companies to integrate their own data sources, enabling AI solutions to generate more accurate, context-based responses tailored to specific internal needs. The platform also provides machine learning operations, data management capabilities, and flexible deployment options, including public, private cloud, and on-premises deployments.
Avoiding Vendor Lock-in
The diverse range of models and services offered by T-Systems provides customers with flexibility and helps them avoid dependence on a single technology provider. This allows businesses to choose the best AI tools for their specific requirements, fostering innovation and preventing vendor lock-in.
Secure AI in Sensitive Environments
"We make AI easy and secure to use: With the AI Foundation Services on our secure and sovereign cloud platforms, we offer our customers an effective use of LLMs - even in sensitive corporate environments,” says Dr. Ferri Abolhassan, CEO T-Systems and Member of the Board of Management Deutsche Telekom AG. “In this way, we offer companies from all industries the opportunity to use AI innovations without jeopardizing their independence and sovereignty. It would be hard to achieve greater sovereignty in the use of AI.”
AI Solutions Adhering to European Guidelines
T-Systems' AI Foundation Services are hosted on the Open Telekom Cloud, ensuring compliance with the stringent data protection regulations of the European Union. GDPR compliance and data sovereignty are paramount. The platform is especially well-suited for regulated industries like healthcare and the public sector, where adherence to specific compliance requirements is critical. All models and services are operated within Telekom data centers located in Germany, Switzerland, and the Netherlands. Alternatively, they can be deployed on customer-owned infrastructure.
Integration with Leading AI Providers
While T-Systems emphasizes open-source models, they also recognize the importance of providing access to leading commercial AI solutions. Through partnerships with companies like Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud, T-Systems offers access to popular AI models from OpenAI and Anthropic. These models are available through the same interface as the open-source options, streamlining the user experience.
Rigorous Security Measures
Security is a core principle of T-Systems' AI Foundation Services. Before deployment, all services undergo a comprehensive security scan and product security screening by Telekom, adhering to ISO/IEC 27001 standards. This ensures that the platform is robust and secure, protecting sensitive data and maintaining the integrity of AI solutions.
Easy Access and Testing
The AI models are accessible directly through the Open Telekom Cloud Marketplace, allowing potential customers to easily explore and test the capabilities of the platform. This streamlined access facilitates experimentation and helps businesses quickly evaluate the suitability of T-Systems' AI Foundation Services for their specific needs.
