On‑premises in the CBF data center and run by AG Eils, for anything from identifiable patient data to open science.
My data is and I need .
Your data and compute run on hardware we operate ourselves, maintained by the same team that builds AI workflows and does research in AI and bioinformatics.
You decide what runs, where it runs and who can see it. Clinicians, researchers and our own AI and bioinformatics experts work on the same platform, right next to you, not behind a ticket queue. And beyond infrastructure, we welcome scientific collaboration.
We develop the pipelines and AI services that connect the layers below, designed for clinical research from the start.
Dedicated, OpenAI‑compatible LLM APIs, one inside each cloud, so prompts stay in the environment their data comes from.
Self‑managed VMs, container clusters and batch scheduling: the platforms that carry your workloads, operated by us.
CPU, storage, networking and GPUs from V100 to H200, on machines we operate ourselves in the CBF data center.
CCI is our main, recommended infrastructure for most projects. Alongside it we run de.NBI Cloud Berlin and the Eils HPC cluster. All three are free to use.
An on‑premises, clinically interoperable cloud in the CBF data center for sensitive and patient data. Every project gets its own VPN group: only members with a Charité AD account, a GB‑IT‑managed device and board‑approved VPN permission can reach its VMs. The VMs can still reach the internet through a proxy.
A flexible, self‑managed, publicly reachable cloud, part of the national de.NBI Cloud / ELIXIR Germany infrastructure. Open to anyone.
cloud.denbi.deA Slurm cluster for research computing in the CBF data center. SSH into the login nodes with your Charité AD account, from the Charité network or VPN.

CCI and de.NBI Cloud Berlin each run their own independent LLM API, so you can use large language models without your data ever leaving the infrastructure it belongs to.
For sensitive or patient‑facing data. Runs independently within CCI, isolated from public infrastructure.
For open or cross‑institution work. denbi-llm-api.bihealth.org
Both instances speak the OpenAI‑compatible API. Point your existing client at our endpoint and authenticate with an API key issued per user or project. We send you both when you get access.
from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( # de.NBI instance · CCI has its own internal endpoint base_url="https://denbi-llm-api.bihealth.org/v1", api_key="<your-key>", ) reply = client.chat.completions.create( model="<model>", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Summarise this report"}], )
Email us about your project and use case: what you want to do, and what you need from us.
We set up access (usually within a few days), walk you through your environment and connect you with domain experts where it helps. Training and workshops on request.

Used one of our environments in a paper or poster? Please add a line to your acknowledgements. It helps us show impact and keep the services funded.
Planned maintenance, new features, incidents and upcoming training.
The Cloud & IT Team of AG Eils at the BIH Digital Health Center runs the hardware and services, builds AI workflows on top of them, and brings researchers in AI and bioinformatics to your project. We are always open to scientific collaboration.
