NTT Data and Nutanix launch secure Private AI starter pack for enterprises

The INTELLILINK Private AI Start Pack shows how quickly the stack around frontier models is professionalizing. Many enterprises want to experiment with powerful models but won’t send sensitive data to public clouds. NTT Data and Nutanix are stepping into that gap with a pre-integrated, financed bundle that promises secure, air-gapped inference using curated open-weight LLMs on a managed hardware platform.

This kind of offering could be a blueprint for how high-compliance sectors adopt agentic AI without ceding everything to a small number of hyperscalers. It also subtly shifts the center of gravity away from a purely API-based world toward hybrid and on-prem deployments, which could matter if regulators start to differentiate rules based on where models run and where data lives. For the AGI race, Private AI packs don’t move the frontier directly, but they increase the installed base of serious, safety-conscious deployments—creating more places where higher-level agentic systems can eventually plug in.
