Sovereign AI Infrastructure

Privacy. Security. Total Control.

Your data is your competitive advantage. Don't leak it to public APIs. We architect secure, on-premises AI pipelines that run inside your VPC or on bare metal.

  • Data Privacy & Security:

    Air-gapped deployments. GDPR compliance by design. No data ever leaves your VPC.

  • Cost Efficiency:

    Eliminate per-token fees. Run 70B models flat-rate on owned hardware (CapEx vs OpEx).

  • Local Data Analysis:

    Analyze sensitive financial or legal documents offline with secure RAG pipelines.

  • Secure Coding Assistance:

    Self-hosted "Copilot" alternatives that don't train on your proprietary IP.

  • Fine-Tuning & Customization:

    Train open-weight models on your specific corporate knowledge base.

cloudNX is a principal-led practice. Alexander Liemen is a Triple-Certified AWS Solutions Architect who chose molecular biology over computer science — not as a fallback, but because he'd been programming since age 8 and was already running a 2-million-user web hosting platform by university.

This was pre-cloud. Clustering meant hand-built servers, each hosting 50,000 users — only possible by patching MySQL's connection/authentication handling, hardening PHP's filesystem isolation, and writing custom Apache modules for injection-safe analytics.

The kind of work that doesn't exist anymore because AWS abstracted it away.

Molecular Biology was simply what he was curious about — how genetics and complex systems actually work. The field was decades from practical application then. With AI, that's finally changing.

"You can teach a physicist finance, but you can't teach a finance person physics."

— Jim Simons, Renaissance Technologies

With 20+ years of experience, Alexander approaches infrastructure the same way:

  • > HYPOTHESIZE
  • > TEST
  • > FIX
  • > SCALE
