Applied and Elith Partner to Sell On-Premises Generative AI
The partnership pairs hardware supply with AI operations support, a combination aimed at organizations that need generative AI to run inside their own environment rather than through an external cloud.

Applied Co., Ltd. and Elith Co., Ltd. have signed a business partnership agreement covering sales and deployment support for the on-premises generative AI solution GENFLUX Local. Applied brings GPU server and workstation manufacturing, sales, deployment, and maintenance, while Elith brings generative AI development and operation. The two will offer companies, universities and research institutions, and government agencies an integrated package from hardware selection through post-deployment support.
GENFLUX Local processes input data and generated content inside the organization, which the two companies say reduces the risk of information leakage that comes with sending data to external cloud environments. Applied's nationwide stores and sales offices will propose deployment configurations that combine the software with GPU servers and workstations, sized to the number of users and the required processing performance.
Applied has supplied high-performance computing environments to companies, universities, and research institutions, including BTO and HPC products. Elith centers its business on AI Safety and AI Security and works from generative AI research and development through to business deployment.
