SocleAI&OUTSCALE
OUTSCALE provides the most highly certified sovereign IaaS/PaaS cloud infrastructure (SecNumCloud 3.2), while Socle AI provides the AI application software platform: interface, agents, hybrid RAG, visual workflows and governance.
THE QUALIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE
OUTSCALE
IaaS/PaaS cloud qualified SecNumCloud 3.2
OUR APPROACH
Socle AI
AI application software platform
OUTSCALE provides the hardware foundation, state-grade security, the GPUs and the qualified cloud; Socle AI provides the turnkey business software suite.
GOOD TO KNOW
Socle AI deploys via Docker or Kubernetes (OKS) directly inside your OUTSCALE tenant: you keep the SecNumCloud 3.2 qualification and gain the application layer on top.
The line-by-line comparison
| CRITERION | OUTSCALE | SOCLE AI |
|---|---|---|
| Layer covered | Infrastructure (GPU, VM, Kubernetes) | Business application |
| Qualification | SecNumCloud 3.2 (ANSSI) | Installs inside that perimeter |
| Business interface | Cloud console | Chat, agents, dashboards |
| Hybrid RAG | To be built | Native, multi-source with reranking |
| Multi-agent orchestration | To be built | Native (A2A protocol) |
| Multimodality | GPU compute | Transcription, TTS, vision built in |
| What gets measured | GPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth | Adoption, success per task, feedback |
Why OUTSCALE alone is not enough
An IaaS/PaaS player, not an AI application software vendor
OUTSCALE excels at providing GPU compute, virtual machines and SecNumCloud qualified Kubernetes clusters. It does not, however, provide a turnkey graphical interface for non-technical business users.
No native application blocks or AI orchestration
No multi-agent orchestration engine (A2A protocol), no visual no-code/low-code workflow builder, no multi-source hybrid RAG engine with reranking, and no multimodal suite (transcription with diarization, TTS, vision).
Application development cost and lead time
Deploying a model or a GPU instance on OUTSCALE gives you access to an infrastructure service or an API. Your teams then have to code the application, the interface, access rights, contextual memory and business governance.
Governance at the infrastructure level
OUTSCALE tracks resource consumption (GPU, RAM, storage, bandwidth). Tracking business adoption, success rates per task executed by agents, and feedback loops belongs to the application layer.
The winning combination: Socle AI on OUTSCALE
The benchmark sovereign AI stack
By deploying Socle AI (Docker or Kubernetes OKS) directly on OUTSCALE infrastructure, the customer gets the highest security level issued in France by ANSSI (SecNumCloud 3.2), combined with a ready-to-use AI application suite.
Immediate time to market for critical organisations
Public sector, defence, healthcare (HDS certified), banking and operators of vital importance can deploy business copilots, RAG over confidential documents and autonomous agents in a matter of days, without spending months building the software infrastructure.
Multi-agent orchestration and visual workflows
An autonomous agent engine, a drag-and-drop workflow studio, business tool connectors, and full OpenAI API compatibility (base_url) to switch between more than 12 models.
Complete governance and auditability
AI consumption dashboards per department and per member, detailed audit logs of the actions taken by agents, and built-in user feedback collection.
End-to-end business support
7 to 8 years of expertise framing and integrating high-stakes AI use cases.
Key questions you should be asking!
OUTSCALE guarantees you a SecNumCloud 3.2 qualified sovereign cloud for your GPUs, but which application and which interface will your staff actually use day to day to work with those models?
Have you costed the internal development effort to build the RAG engine, the agent orchestrator and access rights management on top of your OUTSCALE instances?
Did you know the Socle AI platform installs directly inside your OUTSCALE tenant, combining the highest level of European security with an immediately operational business AI solution?
The questions we get most often
OBJECTION
« We are bound by the French "Cloud at the centre" doctrine and must use a SecNumCloud provider such as OUTSCALE. »
OUR ANSWER
That is an excellent decision, and Socle AI is not there to replace your host: the platform installs on-premise (Docker or Kubernetes) directly inside your OUTSCALE SecNumCloud 3.2 environment. You meet state requirements 100% while getting a complete AI software platform immediately.
OBJECTION
« OUTSCALE already offers managed AI and GPU services. »
OUR ANSWER
OUTSCALE provides raw compute and model hosting. But a GPU or an API provides neither a chat interface, nor a RAG document base manager, nor business connectors. Socle AI is the application engine that sits on top of OUTSCALE GPUs to make AI usable by your business teams.
OBJECTION
« Why not build our own AI application on top of OUTSCALE? »
OUR ANSWER
Building a secure, multi-agent, multimodal (voice, image) platform in house, with hybrid RAG and governance, represents 6 to 12 months of heavy R&D. With Socle AI deployed on OUTSCALE you save that time and get a solution proven in critical environments.
