AI Development · Operate

Private AI deployments that keep sensitive data where it belongs.

We help enterprises choose and run the right deployment model for AI — provider APIs with strict data terms, private cloud endpoints, or open-weight models in your own infrastructure — with identity, access control, logging and a clear operating owner.

Where this helps

Security blocked the AI rollout
Teams want to use AI with customer and financial data, but security cannot approve sending it to a public service with unclear retention terms.
Every team picks its own provider
Different groups have signed up for different AI tools with separate contracts, keys and data flows, and nobody has a consolidated view.
Self-hosting sounded simpler than it is
A plan to run everything in-house underestimated GPU capacity, model quality gaps and the effort of keeping models patched and monitored.

What we deliver

01
Deployment options assessment
Hosted API, cloud provider endpoint in your tenancy, or self-hosted open-weight models — compared for each use case on data sensitivity, quality, cost and operational effort.
02
Reference architecture
Network boundaries, private endpoints, encryption, key management and data residency designed for your cloud or data center.
03
Enterprise AI gateway
A central service for model access with single sign-on, role-based permissions, redaction, usage quotas and full audit logs.
04
Private model hosting
Where self-hosting is justified, deployment of open-weight models on your infrastructure with autoscaling, patching and monitoring.
05
Operating model and runbooks
Who owns the platform, how new models and use cases are approved, and how incidents are handled.

How it works

  1. 01

    Classify data and use cases

    We work with security and data owners to classify what data each AI use case touches and what controls it requires.

  2. 02

    Choose deployment per use case

    Not everything needs self-hosting. Each use case gets the least complex deployment that meets its requirements.

  3. 03

    Build the platform

    Gateway, identity integration, networking and logging are built in your environment using infrastructure as code.

  4. 04

    Security review

    Architecture review and testing with your security team before production data is connected.

  5. 05

    Onboard teams

    The first use cases move onto the platform, with templates that make the next ones faster to approve.

Design decisions we make with you

  • Hosted, private endpoint or self-hosted

    Frontier models are often available only through provider APIs or cloud endpoints. Not every model can be self-hosted, and open-weight models trade some capability for control.

  • Data residency

    Where prompts, outputs, embeddings and logs are stored and processed, and how that is enforced.

  • Access control

    Integration with your identity provider so AI access follows existing roles, and retrieved content respects document permissions.

  • Capacity and cost

    Self-hosted models need GPU capacity sized for peak load; API usage scales with traffic. We model both before you commit.

  • Governance fit

    The platform produces the inventory, logs and approval records your [governance](/ai-services/governance) process needs.

Questions buyers ask

Usually not. The most capable commercial models are generally available only through provider APIs or cloud endpoints. Open-weight models can be self-hosted and are strong for many tasks, and we test them against your requirements.

Only with fully self-hosted models. With private cloud endpoints, data is processed in your cloud tenancy under the provider's enterprise terms. We document exactly where data goes for each option.

Your team, us, or a combination. We provide runbooks and training, and can support operations under an agreed scope. See MLOps & LLMOps.

From the start. They review the architecture before build and test before production. Our approach is outlined on trust and security.
