Platform versus Workspace
GLBNXT offers two distinct products that serve different audiences and purposes within an organisation. While both are built on the same commitment to European data sovereignty and enterprise-grade security, they are designed for fundamentally different use cases and user profiles.
Understanding the distinction helps teams identify which product they are working with, where to find the right documentation, and how the two products can complement each other within the same organisation.
GLBNXT Platform
GLBNXT Platform is built for development teams. It provides the complete AI infrastructure stack that engineers, data scientists, and architects need to design, build, and deploy AI-powered applications and services.
Platform users are builders. They work with model endpoints, vector databases, workflow automation, APIs, and application components to create AI solutions for their organisation or for clients. The platform gives them a managed, sovereign environment where all infrastructure concerns are handled by GLBNXT, and all building capabilities are available from day one.
Typical Platform users include:
ML Engineers and Data Scientists building inference pipelines and AI-powered services
Data Engineers designing RAG systems and managing data pipelines
DevOps and IT Architects configuring environments, access controls, and security posture
Product Leaders and CTOs overseeing AI solution delivery and platform governance
GLBNXT Workspace
GLBNXT Workspace is built for knowledge workers and business teams. It provides a governed, compliant AI environment for employees who use AI to do their work, without needing to understand or interact with the infrastructure behind it.
Workspace users are consumers of AI capability. They work with AI assistants, document analysis tools, knowledge search, and productivity features within a secure, policy-controlled environment. Workspace abstracts away all technical complexity so that business users can benefit from AI without requiring any technical background.
Typical Workspace users include:
Business analysts and consultants working with documents and data
Legal, compliance, and finance teams using AI for research and review
Operations and HR teams automating routine knowledge work
Any employee using AI tools within a governed enterprise environment
Choosing the Right Product
The two products are not mutually exclusive. Many organisations use both: development teams build AI solutions and services on Platform, while business teams consume AI capabilities through Workspace. In this model, Platform is where solutions are created and Workspace is where they are used.
