Real Obvious Trusted Private AI Overview
Install – Operate – Update
Real Obvious Trusted Private AI enables businesses of any size (Enterprise to SMB) to install, operate, and update Trusted Private AI services.
Install – Using only trusted software and data, our installer simplifies the task to deploy Trusted Private AI services on your systems (on-premise or cloud).
Operate – The Real Obvious Admin Dashboard provides insight and operational control of your Trusted Private AI services.
Update – Keep your Trusted Private AI services up to date. Our automated CI/CD Trusted Software Factory (TSF) produces Certified Datasets (software and data) on a daily basis which are securely transferred and stored using Trusted Repository Servcies (TRS).
Real Obvious Trusted Private Artificial Intelligence (AI) services help businesses protect their most valuable assets – data and intellectual property. Our secure, enterprise-class solutions are built on Zero Trust principles and deploy in isolated enclaves so you can trust that your information is safe.
Real Obvious Trusted Private AI services isolates and protects customer data assuring compliance with HIPAA, PII, PCI-DSS, CMMC, GDPR, GLBA, SOX, FISMA, and more. Our simple, cost-effective approach makes it easy to deploy and maintain. Our scalable architecture supports single node (small) to high availability clusters (large) deployments on premise and across hybrid multi-cloud environments.
Private AI services are crucial for businesses seeking to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence without compromising sensitive data or proprietary information. By hosting and managing AI models on-premises or in a private cloud, organizations can maintain complete control over their data, ensuring confidentiality and compliance with regulatory requirements. This approach also enables companies to tailor their AI solutions to specific business needs and optimize performance without relying on public cloud services that may not offer the desired level of customization and security.

Testimonials
We are an early adopter of Real Obvious Collection of Trusted Solutions. Having a Private AI system was strategically important to our creative team. Having a Trusted AI system eliminates the worry of where did the software and LLMs come from? What’s running on our AI systems? Who can access our data?
Private AI
Private AI systems operate behind a network firewall. Connectivity to the Internet is typically limited to select sites. Real Obvious Trusted Repository Services (TRS) is used to replicate Certified Datasets (trusted software and data files) to the Private AI system.
Isolated Enclave AI
An isolated enclave Private AI system operates totally disconnected (air-gapped) from all outside networks. All software and data files (Certified Datasets) required to operate the system are replicated by an Internet connected Real Obvious Trusted Repository Services (TRS) then Sneakernet transferred to the isolated enclave system. Examples include dark sites, classified systems, and test systems.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is more crucial than ever for the success and integrity of Trusted Private AI services. Real Obvious Trusted Private AI incorporates a robust suite of security features to safeguard against various threats and ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of your data.
Trust Certificates
Real Obvious Trust Certificates ensure the trustworthiness of software and data files (aka datasets) used by Real Obvious Trusted Private AI services. Trust Certificates prove the integrity / authenticity of a dataset while protecting against the introduction of malicious or unverified content. Trust Certificates are issued by the Real Obvious Trusted Software Factory (TSF).
Trust Enforcement
Real Obvious Trust Enforcement provides an additional layer of security to ensure that only trustworthy files are stored or executed on your system. By evaluating scan results, hash values, digital signatures, and other relevant metrics, we can confidently determine whether a dataset (software and data files) is trustworthy or not. If a dataset fails to meet the required level of trust, configured by your organization, it will not be allowed to run or be processed, thereby preventing potential security breaches and data compromise.

“Trust is Everything”
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives, transforming the way we live, work, and interact with each other. However, as AI-driven systems continue to grow in complexity and influence, a pressing concern has emerged: trust.
In this white paper, we will explore the importance of trust in AI solutions and discuss the limitations of public and private AI approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions
Real Obvious Trusted Private Artificial Intelligence (AI) simplifies the process to deploy, operate, and maintain AI services on systems owned / managed by your organization.
Trusted Private AI services help businesses protect their most valuable assets – data and intellectual property. Our secure, enterprise-class solutions are built on Zero Trust principles and deploy in isolated enclaves so you can trust that your information is safe.
Trusted
Trusted software, data, services, and system are critical to deploy and operate AI services with a high level of confidence. Real Obvious Trusted Private AI is part of Real Obvious’ Collection of Trusted Solutions which includes Real Obvious’ Trusted Software Factory (TSF). TSF performs Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) on software and data (aka datasets) transitioning these datasets from “untrusted” to “trusted.” The Real Obvious Trusted Repository Services (TRS) stores and distributes datasets in a secure / trusted manner using Real Obvious Trust Certificates (much more than file hashes). Real Obvious’ Trust Enforcement capability is integrated into Real Obvious Trusted Private AI to ensure only trusted software and data are deployed and operated on your systems.
Private
Private systems are systems deployed and operated under your total control. On=premise private systems are under your physical control adding an additional layer of security.
Absolutely. All Real Obvious solutions support self-hosted (your infrastructure) and cloud (Real Obvious hosted) deployments.
Absolutely. All products in the Real Obvious Collection of Trust Solutions were purpose built to ensure trusted operation in an offline environment.
Acquire
Online Environments – The Real Obvious Trusted Software Factory (TSF) acquires software and data (aka datasets), tests / verifies / validates the datasets, transitions datasets from untrusted to trusted, and then publishes the trusted / certified datasets to a Real Obvious managed Trusted Repository Service (TRS) system. Access to the Real Obvious managed TRS service is available to all Real Obvious licensed customers (Internet access required).
Offline Environments – Customers with an Enteprise+ license have the option to run their own private TSF / TRS instances (Internet connection optional).
Transport / Store
Online Environments – The Real Obvious Trusted Repository Services (TRS) facilitates the transfer and storage of trusted datasets between TRS systems. Typically, customers run a self-managed TRS instance which connects to the Real Obvious managed TRS (Internet access required)
Offline Environments – Real Obvious licensed customers run one or more private TRS instances (Internet connection optional)
Operate
Real Obvious Trusted Private AI (AI) services can operate in either an online or offline environment.
Generally, Real Obvious supports all AI software and data which allows for downloading / offline operation. Contact us for details.
Yes. If your IT team has AI expertise then they can deploy AI without using Real Obvious. But will it be trusted and private?
