GPU PaaS & AI Factory orchestration

Turn raw GPU capacity into governed, self-service AI cloud services — the operating layer for neoclouds, sovereign clouds, telcos and enterprises.

  • Services you can launch: Kubernetes, SLURM-as-a-Service, bare-metal GPUs, VMs, workbenches and containers from one catalog
  • Token Factory: token-metered, OpenAI-compatible model APIs with usage tracking, chargeback and monetization
  • Multi-tenancy: hard and soft isolation across customers, business units, projects, quotas and policies
  • Sovereign operation: in-region, private or fully air-gapped environments with data kept inside defined borders
  • Observability & Day-2: unified estate visibility, synthetic monitoring, AI-assisted root-cause and automated remediation workflows

Solution · Agentic AIMAK-built platform

MAK AI Agentic — sovereign agentic AI platform

A sovereign, model-agnostic platform that turns enterprise and government knowledge into working agents — deployable on-prem or fully air-gapped.

  • Sovereign data layer: ingestion, chunking, embeddings and vector search over your own corpora, entirely in-country
  • Retrieval-augmented generation: grounded answers with citations, access-aware retrieval and freshness control
  • Agent orchestration: multi-step tool-calling agents that query systems, trigger workflows and hand off to humans
  • Bilingual by design: Arabic and English understanding, generation and voice front-ends
  • Enterprise connectors: document stores, ticketing, ERP and line-of-business systems, with guardrails and full audit trail

Solution · SecurityMAK-built layer

Secure AI operations layer

The governance and security envelope around an AI factory — so a multi-tenant GPU platform can be trusted with regulated and classified workloads.

  • Zero-trust access: identity-aware RBAC across clusters, tenants, notebooks and model endpoints
  • Workload isolation: namespace, node and GPU-level segmentation with policy enforcement at admission
  • Secrets & key management: vaulted credentials, rotation and encryption in transit and at rest
  • Model & prompt governance: content guardrails, prompt/response logging, jailbreak and data-exfiltration controls
  • Audit & compliance: immutable audit trails, posture reporting and SOC/SIEM integration for regulator-ready evidence

Partner · Inference privacyProtopia AI · MEA

The inference privacy layer for AI factories

Encryption ends where AI begins: at inference, data is plaintext at the model host. Protopia removes that exposure — so sensitive data and shared GPUs can finally meet.

  • Stained Glass Transform™: replaces raw input with model-specific randomized representations usable only by the target model — no change to the model or serving stack
  • Post-training, not re-training: applied in a post-training step so the unmodified model stays accurate
  • Private multi-tenant inference: secure tenancy without dedicated hardware isolation — more tenants and tokens on the same fleet
  • SafeClaw™: build AI agents on sensitive data with zero plaintext exposure, including private tool-calling for agentic workflows
  • Economics: ends large-granularity GPU carve-outs that leave AI factories idle — higher utilization and materially lower TCO
  • Fit: sovereign AI, neoclouds, defence and government, financial services and regulated enterprises

MAK capabilityMAK introduces Protopia into MEA sovereign and neocloud builds — the privacy layer that lets regulated data run on shared, monetizable GPU infrastructure.
Partner · AI-native storageScality · WEKA · VAST · DDN

Storage engineered for AI workloads

Data is the bottleneck in an AI factory. MAK designs the storage tier to match the GPU tier — from training throughput to sovereign, cyber-resilient capacity at exabyte scale.

  • Scality RING: S3 object plus file (NFS/SMB/FUSE) on a patented MultiScale architecture — independent scaling of capacity and performance to hundreds of petabytes, with fine-grained placement down to site, rack and drive
  • Scality CORE5 & ARTESCA: end-to-end cyber resilience, S3 Object Lock immutability and ransomware protection; ARTESCA delivers Kubernetes-native, immutable S3 from small footprints upward
  • Scality for AI: metadata-driven retrieval for chunked documents and embeddings, with integrations across vector databases, RAG frameworks and training pipelines
  • WEKA: ultra-low-latency parallel storage for large-scale training and inference pipelines
  • VAST Data: disaggregated all-flash for unified file, object and database-style AI access
  • DDN: proven HPC and AI parallel file systems for the most demanding GPU clusters
  • Engineering: GPUDirect Storage, checkpoint sizing, data-pipeline and tiering design to keep GPUs saturated

Solution · Enterprise & mid-market4–24 GPU segment

Private Cloud AI — enterprise-grade, right-sized

Not every organization needs a national AI factory. MAK packages the same engineering into a compact, private AI platform that lands in weeks, not quarters.

  • Pre-validated stack: accelerated compute, fabric, storage and platform software delivered as one tested, supported system
  • Right-sized: engineered for the four-to-twenty-four GPU segment, with a clean growth path as demand scales
  • Inference-first: tuned for private model serving, RAG over corporate data and agentic workflows rather than frontier training
  • Self-service on day one: Kubernetes, VMs and notebooks with quotas, chargeback and departmental multi-tenancy
  • Data stays home: on-premises or air-gapped, satisfying residency, privacy and sector regulation
  • Commercially flexible: capital purchase or a managed, subscription-based consumption model with a single support contact
