Description
SWIS, builder of the Vragen.ai AI search engine for government bodies and healthcare institutions, worked with TrueFullstaq to extend its existing managed Kubernetes platform with GPU workloads in a data centre in the Netherlands, so data stays in the Netherlands. The source states that 80% of SWIS clients choose to run entirely on Dutch servers.

Solution
Together with TrueFullstaq's consultants and Managed Services team, SWIS extended its existing managed Kubernetes environment with GPU workloads, so no separate cluster or new management tool was needed. Everything runs in TrueFullstaq's data centre in the Netherlands on dedicated servers, and TrueFullstaq handles 24/7 monitoring and support.

No separate cluster, no new management tool. Together with our consultants and Managed Services team, we expanded the infrastructure with GPU workloads. That sounds simple, but running GPUs in a Kubernetes cluster - you don't see th…
