Notilyze expands its Dutch-hosted cloud platform with GPU acceleration for SAS Viya and private AI, giving organisations access to advanced analytics and AI capabilities within a controlled European cloud environment.  

Notilyze today announces the expansion of Notilyze Cloud with dedicated GPU capacity, hosted in Worldstream's data centres in the Netherlands. 

The new offering opens up two possibilities. SAS Viya customers can extend their existing environments with GPU infrastructure for supported advanced analytics and AI workloads. Organisations can also use Notilyze Cloud to run their own AI models, including private inference with open-weight large language models (LLMs). 

Both options are designed for organisations that want to take advantage of AI without compromising control over their data or relying on public AI services.  

Building on our sovereign cloud partnership 

Last year, Notilyze moved its SAS Viya Cloud platform to Worldstream's Dutch data centres, strengthening performance, scalability and data sovereignty. 

Now, as organisations move from AI experimentation to production, the demand for powerful computing infrastructure continues to grow. By adding GPU capacity to Notilyze Cloud, customers can run advanced analytics and AI workloads alongside their existing data and applications, within the same trusted environment. 

“When we chose Worldstream, we were looking for a partner that could grow with us. GPU support shows exactly why that choice was right. Our customers want to do more with AI, from training models in SAS Viya to running their own language models while keeping their data in Europe. Now we can offer those capabilities in a private, sovereign environment.” says Tom Dogger, CTO at Notilyze.  

Sovereign and private by design 

AI infrastructure is often associated with large hyperscalers and external AI services. While these platforms offer extensive capabilities, they can introduce additional considerations around data residency, privacy, governance, and dependency on third-party providers.  

Notilyze Cloud offers an alternative:

GPU infrastructure is hosted in Worldstream’s data centres in the Netherlands, with private networking and managed infrastructure. Both, Notilyze and Worldstream hold ISO 27001 and NEN 7510 certifications. 

Data, models, and compute stay in the Netherlands, from storage to training to inference. This makes the infrastructure particularly relevant for organisations working with sensitive information, including those in healthcare, life sciences and government. 

GPU acceleration for SAS Viya 

For SAS Viya customers, GPU capacity is delivered as an additional CAS server connected directly to their existing, secured SAS Viya environment on Notilyze Cloud. The connection runs entirely over Notilyze's private network, so data does not need to travel over the public internet to reach the GPU. 

Customers can use GPU acceleration for workloads such as deep learning and computer vision without migrating their existing environment or learning a new platform. Notilyze manages the underlying infrastructure, allowing users to continue working with the SAS Viya tools they already know. 

Beyond SAS Viya: private AI inference 

Not every AI workload runs in SAS.  Notilyze Cloud also supports other GPU-based analytics and AI workloads, including private inference using open-weight large language models.  

Organisations can deploy open-weight language models in a dedicated, private cloud environment, running inference without sending prompts or sensitive data to external AI-providers. 

This creates opportunities for applications such as internal AI assistants, document analysis, conversational interfaces and AI-powered business processes.  

Already in use: Notilyze Assistant 

We're already putting this GPU infrastructure to work ourselves. Notilyze Assistant, our conversational analytics solution, combines SAS Viya's statistical analysis capabilities with open-weight language models running on our own GPUs. SAS Viya performs the analysis, while the language models interpret natural-language questions and help users understand the results.  

“With Notilyze Assistant, our customers upload real process and quality data, so where the AI runs, and under whose jurisdiction, really matters. Running open-weight models on our own GPUs gives us full control over the models, the data, and performance. We don't depend on an external AI provider, and our customers don't have to wonder where their questions end up. What we built for our own product is now available to theirs." – Paul Koot, Lead Analytics at Notilyze and Technical Lead of Notilyze Assistant.  

Two GPU options for different workloads 

Not every AI project requires the same level of computing power. Notilyze Cloud therefore offers two GPU configurations to support different workload requirements.  

Performance – NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell: Designed for demanding AI workloads, including memory-intensive model execution, deep learning models running larger language models for inference and memory-intensive applications. 

Essential – NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: A  cost-effective option for GPU-accelerated modelling, experimentation, smaller AI models and lighter production workloads. 

Notilyze helps customers select the configuration that best matches their workload and performance requirements. 

A partnership that continues to grow 

“Notilyze was one of the first to show what a sovereign SAS Viya cloud looks like in practice, so adding GPUs is the logical next step. European organisations want to use AI, but they also want to know exactly where their data is processed and who controls it. That shouldn’t be a trade-off, and together with Notilyze we’re showing it doesn’t have to be.” – Ruben van der Zwan, CEO of Worldstream
