Shared GPU platform for government ministries
How do government ministries share one national GPU platform with isolation?
Katonic lets a central government platform team give each ministry its own isolated AI environment and its own share of GPUs on one national estate. Data, identity and compute are separated per ministry, and the platform team stays out of ministry content. The GPUs are bought once and shared.

|---|---|
| Who it is for | Government CIO, national digital agency lead, GPU platform teams |
| Data that stays in place | Each ministry's documents, agents, prompts and logs, inside its own environment |
| Runs air-gapped | Yes |
| Separation | Data, identity and compute, per ministry |
| Infrastructure | HPE Private Cloud AI, or HPE GPU servers in an HPE AI Factory design |
The problem
Governments buy GPU capacity centrally, but each ministry needs its own isolated AI environment under its own identity system.
The central team must never see ministry content. Building a separate stack for each ministry wastes the GPUs and takes too long.
How it works
- The central platform team installs Katonic on the national GPU estate.
- It creates an environment for each ministry and assigns a share of the GPUs.
- Each ministry signs in through its own identity provider.
- Ministry data, agents and logs stay inside that ministry's environment.
- The platform team sees capacity and usage, and does not see ministry content.
On HPE infrastructure
On HPE Private Cloud AI
HPE Private Cloud AI is HPE's turnkey private AI system, co-engineered with NVIDIA. Katonic AI is a partner in the HPE Unleash AI program. On Private Cloud AI, Katonic connects to the models the system serves and adds the agent platform on top. A single ministry or agency can run the platform on Private Cloud AI for its own departments. A national estate shared by many ministries is usually built on the HPE GPU server route below.
On HPE GPU servers
Customers who build their own estate on HPE GPU servers, as part of an HPE AI Factory design, get compute, storage and networking from HPE. Katonic supplies the software layer above the hardware: open-weight models served on the customer's GPUs, the AI gateway, the agent platform and governance. The national estate is built on HPE GPU servers, and Katonic divides it into isolated ministry environments with their own GPU shares.

Questions and answers
Can the central platform team read ministry data?
No. The platform team manages capacity and usage. Ministry content stays inside the ministry's own environment.
Does each ministry need its own GPUs?
No. The GPUs are bought once and each ministry is given a share of them.
How do ministry staff sign in?
Through the ministry's own identity provider, so the ministry controls who has access.
