Fortanix Inc. and NVIDIA unveiled a joint turnkey AI platform that leverages NVIDIA’s confidential‑computing GPUs to run agentic AI in on‑premises or sovereign environments, targeting highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance and government. The solution integrates Fortanix’s Data Security Manager (a FIPS‑140‑2 Level 3 HSM) with a new Confidential Computing Manager that performs composite attestation of CPUs and GPUs before releasing encryption keys, creating an end‑to‑end chain of trust from chip to model. Offered as both a zero‑footprint SaaS and a self‑managed 1U appliance, the platform supports NVIDIA Hopper and Blackwell GPUs, includes role‑based access, audit logging, and post‑quantum cryptography, and can scale from three‑node clusters to larger deployments. Fortanix will demonstrate the offering at NVIDIA’s GTC conference on Oct 27‑29, 2025.
