Securing Sensitive Information Using On-Premises Generative AI
In an age where data breaches have become increasingly common, protecting sensitive information is non-negotiable for modern businesses. Scuti Corporation has partnered with HPE to demonstrate the effectiveness of generative AI (GAI) systems in environments completely disconnected from external networks. Their published white paper outlines the verification process and results achieved using HPE's state-of-the-art server, the ProLiant DL380 Gen11.
The Necessity of AI in Business Operations
As companies rush to adopt generative AI to enhance productivity, the challenge of safeguarding confidential information continues to loom large. Many organizations have had to restrict the use of cloud-based AI due to risks surrounding the leakage of sensitive data. This white paper provides insight into how businesses can leverage AI while maintaining stringent security, particularly in departments like management, HR, and digital transformation initiatives.
Background of the Verification: Resolving the Trade-Off Between Security and Usability
To truly harness the power of generative AI, organizations need to employ Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which integrates internal company knowledge—like manuals, regulations, and past minutes—into the AI’s capabilities. However, uploading this critical information to the cloud presents significant psychological and regulatory barriers. To tackle this issue, Scuti utilized HPE’s powerful hardware infrastructure to verify a completely offline version of secure generative AI.
Robust Infrastructure: HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11
For their verification, Scuti chose the HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen11, known for its exceptional processing power and reliability. The verification tested performance based on the needs of the RAG system, particularly for local execution of large language models (LLMs) and vector searches.
Key Features:
- - High Computational Power: The system was able to handle demanding tasks while maintaining high performance.
- - Strong Security: Utilizing HPE products implemented with features such as the Silicon Root of Trust ensured comprehensive safety across application and infrastructure layers.
The results indicated that operations in an isolated environment could achieve response speeds comparable to cloud AI, enabling accurate response generation based on organizational knowledge.

Future Prospects
Scuti aims to expand upon the insights gained from this verification study to enhance their consulting and implementation services for on-premises RAG systems specifically tailored for clients in financial, manufacturing, and public sectors. This initiative aligns perfectly with their goal to resolve language barriers and knowledge monopolization challenges, thereby increasing competitive edges in digital transformation.
Additionally, Scuti will be showcasing their secure generative AI offerings at the 'AI Expo Spring 2026,' taking place at the Tokyo International Forum from April 7-8, 2026. Attendees are encouraged to visit their booth for more insights.
