New IBM platforms lets businesses, govts control AI workloads locally

Bengaluru, Jan 19 (UNI) IBM has launched a new software called IBM Sovereign Core, designed to help businesses, governments, and service providers manage AI workloads securely while keeping full control over their technology.
The software addresses the growing need for digital sovereignty, which means not only controlling where data is stored but also who manages the technology, how it is accessed, and where AI models operate.
With stricter regulations and increasing use of AI, organizations want environments where they can maintain complete operational authority.
Built on Red Hat’s open-source platform, IBM Sovereign Core allows organizations to operate and control software independently within their jurisdiction, keep authentication and encryption keys local, ensure continuous compliance through automated audit trails, and deploy AI models under local governance.
The software also makes it possible to set up scalable and flexible environments quickly, with a choice of hardware and infrastructure.
Sandip Patel, Managing Director of IBM India & South Asia, said the software helps businesses innovate with AI while staying compliant and retaining control over sensitive data. Experts have noted that the solution addresses the bigger question of who controls the system and can prove it to regulators, not just data residency.
IBM Sovereign Core can be deployed on-premises, in regional clouds, or through IT service providers. IBM has partnered with Cegeka in Belgium and the Netherlands and Computacenter in Germany to provide locally managed solutions for enterprises.
The tech preview of IBM Sovereign Core will begin in February 2026, with full availability planned for mid-year. The software is expected to help organizations adopt AI confidently without compromising sovereignty requirements.
IBM will host a virtual Tech Summit on January 27, and interested organizations can join the tech preview waitlist online.
