Home/Solutions/Secure AI Factory Services

Cisco Secure AI Factory implementation services, engineered end to end.

Ngenium designs, deploys and validates Cisco Secure AI Factory environments — Cisco AI PODs and UCS with NVIDIA GPUs, Red Hat OpenShift with Cisco Isovalent, Cisco AI Defense and Splunk observability — with senior engineers from the first assessment to a working, secured platform. Services-only: we never resell the hardware or software.

What we deliver

Everything a Secure AI Factory needs to reach production.

The Cisco Secure AI Factory is a validated architecture, not a box. Getting it into production takes coordinated work across compute, fabric, Kubernetes, AI security and observability — the combination very few internal teams have in one place.

01 — ASSESSMENT & ARCHITECTURE

AI readiness and reference design.

Workload, data and security requirements mapped to Cisco Validated Designs, with GPU, network-fabric and storage sizing that matches the models you actually plan to run.

02 — AI PODS & ACCELERATED COMPUTE

Cisco AI PODs, UCS and NVIDIA.

Deployment and validation of Cisco UCS compute with NVIDIA (or AMD) GPUs, Nexus fabric and Intersight lifecycle management — racked, integrated and proven under load.

03 — AI SECURITY

Cisco AI Defense, implemented.

Model validation, runtime protection and policy enforcement across your AI applications, aligned to the AI Security and Safety Framework (SAIF).

04 — KUBERNETES & WORKLOAD SECURITY

Red Hat OpenShift with Cisco Isovalent.

Cilium networking and network policy, Tetragon eBPF process-level visibility and workload identity for containerized AI and inference workloads.

05 — OBSERVABILITY

Splunk and Intersight, one operational view.

GPU utilization, model-validation events, workload behavior and infrastructure health correlated in a single picture your operations team can act on.

06 — AI APPLICATION ENABLEMENT

From platform to production AI.

Forward deployed engineers who build and harden the AI applications and agents that run on the factory, so the platform earns its keep.

How an engagement runs

Day 0 to Day 2, one accountable team.

Ngenium leads strategy, design and deployment. Through our strategic partnership with Port53 — the first Cisco Certified Managed XDR partner — the same platform moves straight into 24x7 managed security operations, with no hand-off gap. Read the announcement.

DAY 0
Strategy & design
AI strategy, readiness assessment and a Secure AI Factory architecture sized to your workloads, data and security requirements.
DAY 1
Deploy & validate
Infrastructure deployment, Cisco AI Defense, OpenShift and Kubernetes with Isovalent, and observability — validated end to end before hand-over.
DAY 2
Operate & secure
Port53’s Cisco-powered Managed XDR and SOC for AI: 24x7 monitoring, detection and response, AI governance and runtime security monitoring.
PROOF — DELIVERED ENGAGEMENT

A stalled Secure AI Factory, validated in days — not months.

A major U.S. healthcare provider’s multi-vendor Secure AI Factory deployment had been stuck between siloed teams for months. Ngenium engineers delivered the full stack — UCS with NVIDIA GPUs, OpenShift, Isovalent, AI Defense and Splunk — working and observable, within days.

Questions

About Cisco Secure AI Factory services.

What is the Cisco Secure AI Factory?

It is Cisco’s validated architecture for running enterprise AI on-premises or in hybrid environments: Cisco compute and networking with NVIDIA accelerated computing, with security such as Cisco AI Defense and Isovalent, and observability through Splunk, designed in from the start rather than added later.

Do you sell the hardware or software?

No. Ngenium is services-only. You buy the platform through your Cisco partner or distributor of choice; Ngenium designs, deploys, validates and helps operate it. That keeps our recommendations tied to your architecture, not a product margin.

How long does a deployment take?

It depends on scope and readiness. In one delivered engagement, a deployment that had stalled for months reached a validated Secure AI Factory within days. A 30-minute scoping call with a senior engineer gives you an honest estimate for yours.

Who operates the platform after go-live?

Your team, with Ngenium support — or, through our partnership, Port53 provides Day 2 managed operations: 24x7 monitoring, detection and response, AI governance and runtime security monitoring.

Do you work with Cisco channel partners?

Yes. Cisco partners bring Ngenium in to deliver Secure AI Factory engagements for their customers, including white-label engagements under NDA.
