AI & Computing – Access company knowledge

Knowledge management: Your Corporate knowledge, searchable

Make documents, wikis and file repositories searchable using AI – as a RAG system on your own infrastructure, so that corporate knowledge remains in-house.

Why centron

From a mountain of documents to an answer

The knowledge is there – it’s just scattered. RAG systems make it searchable without sending it to third-party clouds.

Knowledge indexed

Documents from file repositories and wikis are migrated as embeddings to a vector database on NVMe volumes – the source files remain in S3.

Generated replies

A self-hosted language model generates responses with source citations – running on a dedicated GPU, accessible internally.

Internal matters remain internal

Contracts, manuals and project knowledge never leave your VPC – this is the key difference compared to cloud-based AI services.

Rights respected

Access rights from the source systems carry over into the search – everyone can only see what they are authorised to view.

Practical rather than pilot

Become an in-house knowledge assistant in a matter of weeks

Open-source components such as LangChain, Qdrant and vLLM integrate with the RAG stack on the centron infrastructure: an ingest pipeline in Kubernetes, a vector database on volumes, and inference on GPUs. The result: an in-house search and answer engine that the legal department can approve.

AI & Compute FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does our knowledge find its way into the system – and how is it kept up to date?

An ingest pipeline regularly reads from sources, parses documents and updates the embeddings – new documents can be queried after the next run. Everything runs within your VPC; deleted sources are also removed from the index.

What are some examples of configurations?

Configuration I: 8 cores, RTX A4000 (16 GB VRAM), 16 GB RAM, starting at, for example, with 500 GB storage – with inference: €146.23 per month (approx. €0.2031 per hour), without inference: €53.64 per month (approx. €0.0745 per hour). Configuration II: 16 cores, A100 (40 GB VRAM), 64 GB RAM, starting at, for example, with 500 GB storage – with inference: €602.79 per month (approx. €0.8372 per hour), without inference: €113.32 per month (approx. €0.1574 per hour). For a bespoke solution, please contact our sales team.

How much does it cost to get started?

The starting prices are deliberately low: Cloud GPU from €92.59 per month, volumes from €0.05 per GB per month and S3 Object Storage from €5.00 per month. New accounts receive a €200 starting credit valid for 60 days – you can calculate the cost of your specific configuration transparently using the price calculator.

Can this be implemented in a way that complies with the GDPR?

Yes – and that is the critical issue with AI-supported knowledge management: internal documents regularly contain personal data and trade secrets, which could fall into the wrong hands if an external AI service were used. With centron, the knowledge base, embeddings and model remain in Germany. The data centres are certified to ISO 27001 on the basis of IT-Grundschutz, with an unrestricted BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation for ccloud³ / Managed Cloud. Further details can be found in the Trust Centre.
