AI is transforming all industries, but the development is largely driven by global technology giants. For Norwegian businesses, this creates a challenging balance between the desire for innovation and the risk of losing control over their own data. This partnership is a direct response to that very dilemma: With full control, you can choose the best AI solutions from both open source and commercial providers. You avoid vendor lock-in and gain the freedom to optimize both cost and performance.

By combining Redpill Linpro's expertise in secure and hybrid cloud services with TellusR's advanced platform for AI and data control, a completely Norwegian ecosystem for AI innovation is created.

– Our customers are facing a new landscape with both enormous opportunities and significant risks related to costs, security, and digital ownership. Our job is to provide them with a safe path forward. The partnership with TellusR is critical in this regard. Together we deliver not just technology, but a strategy that allows Norwegian businesses to move from AI risk to controlled innovation on their own terms, says Paal Hatledal at Redpill Linpro.

Through the partnership, TellusR's AI Communications Hub becomes available as a ready-made solution, delivered from Redpill Linpro's Norwegian cloud platform.

– We have built the critical component that many businesses lack: a safety switch for AI that ensures flexibility and gives full control over data, costs, and quality. And it does so without compromising the flexibility to exploit the AI models they wish to use, says Morten Krogh-Moe, CEO of TellusR.

"Receiving recognition from such a respected player as Redpill Linpro is an enormous validation. Together we shall prove that the smartest choice for the future is to select solutions that provide control, that are built to withstand geopolitical instability – and at the same time ensure flexibility.”

From AI Risk to Tangible Results

The collaboration provides Norwegian and Nordic customers with a focus on data control and sovereignty a number of tangible benefits:

• Guaranteed data sovereignty: The solution is delivered from a Norwegian cloud under Norwegian jurisdiction, eliminating third-country issues and ensuring full compliance.

• Complete model flexibility: Customers can freely connect to and utilize the best international and national language models, whether they are open source or commercial, without compromising on security or data sovereignty.

• Reduced risk of technological lock-in: Provides customers with freedom and flexibility by avoiding ties to a single international hyperscaler (lock-in).

• Full traceability for easier auditing: Offers complete traceability in data processing, simplifying documentation (DPIA) and reducing the risk of data breaches.

• Predictable cost control: Prevents uncontrolled cost growth associated with the use of large language models and software components, an increasing risk with direct integration to global providers.

The partnership represents a significant milestone for both companies, positioning Redpill Linpro and TellusR to become leading providers of AI-driven solutions built on trust, security, and transparency.
