AI is entering your infrastructure. Is your team ready to run it?
BTA helps enterprises deploy AI with the monitoring, infrastructure, and governance frameworks that keep AI workloads secure, visible, and under your control.
We apply the same end-to-end execution and training approach to AI transformation that we have used for network security across 250+ organizations.
Three risks compounding in every AI rollout.
Each one shows up in audit findings or incident reviews. BTA addresses all three before deployment.
- Risk 01
AI adoption outpacing governance
Models are being deployed, connected to sensitive data, and embedded in workflows without the monitoring infrastructure to track behavior or the security posture to contain a breach.
- Risk 02
Data sovereignty pressure
Banking, defense, healthcare, and legal teams cannot move sensitive data off-premise. Cloud AI APIs are off the table for the workloads that matter most.
- Risk 03
Audit trails that hold up
Auditors need to validate where data goes and how models are served. Black-box AI creates compliance exposure that lands on the CISO.
AI infrastructure, governance, and team enablement.
Six engagement areas covered through the Full Service Lifecycle, with QuickStrike as the anchor platform.
- 01
AI infrastructure deployment
On-premise GPU stacks, network architecture, and storage matched to your model workloads. Production-ready in days through QuickStrike.
- 02
Governance frameworks
Identity-based access, encryption at rest and in transit, audit logging, network segmentation, and continuous posture monitoring built in from day one.
- 03
Data sovereignty
Connect to SharePoint, NFS mounts, vector databases, and your existing data lakes while keeping every flow behind your perimeter.
- 04
Monitoring dashboards
Real-time visibility into model behavior, inference cost, GPU utilization, and compliance posture. Stakeholder-specific views for IT Ops, Data Science, and the C-Suite.
- 05
Team enablement
Your operating team participates from day one and owns Day-2 by handoff. Training is part of the engagement, not an add-on.
- 06
Day-2 engagement options
Self-operate, retain BTA on Ongoing Advisory, or move to Fully Managed Services. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
QuickStrike. The platform that ships AI in days.
Production-ready AI infrastructure on existing hardware in days, with enterprise security architecture built in. Banking, defense, healthcare, and finance teams get audit-ready AI behind their own perimeter.

We're architects who execute.
Three principles every BTA engagement runs on. Visible in the work itself.
We architect, deploy, and stay through Day-2.
Every engagement is end-to-end. We design the target environment, deploy it in stages, and remain on hand through the operational handoff.
We train your team to own the outcome.
Training is part of every engagement. By the close of an engagement, your operators can run, maintain, and defend the system to an auditor.
We measure success when your team runs it alone.
An engagement closes when your team is operating the solution without us in the room. SIMPLE methodology enforces this exit criterion on every project.
We meet you where you are.
Some teams want the full BTA delivery from architecture to handoff. Others bring us in for a single advisory window or a fully managed operations contract. Pick the model that fits and adjust as the business changes.
Consulting & Advisory
Strategy and senior guidance. Architecture reviews, technology assessments, and roadmap design for teams that own their own operations.
Learn moreManaged Services
BTA runs the system day to day under your governance. Monitoring, change management, escalation paths, and SLAs for teams without Day-2 capacity.
Learn moreDeployment
Implementation-only engagement. Faster than the Full Service Lifecycle when the customer team will not own operations afterwards.
Learn moreOptimization
Refresh and refine an existing environment. Performance, automation, and refactor work for platforms already in production.
Learn moreEnablement
SIMPLE-driven Quickstart programs that deliver a specific Cisco capability into production on a known timeline.
Learn moreMentoring
Capability transfer for teams adopting a new platform. Pair-programming, custom training modules, and Cisco MINT-aligned curriculum.

Questions buyers ask about enterprise AI.
Direct answers from BTA architects who run AI infrastructure engagements.
What does BTA's AI services engagement cover?
BTA architects, deploys, and trains your team to operate on-premise AI infrastructure end to end. The engagement covers GPU sizing and architecture, security and governance frameworks, data sovereignty integration, monitoring dashboards, and operational handoff. QuickStrike is the BTA-built platform that anchors these engagements.Why on-premise AI instead of cloud APIs?
Cloud AI is the right answer for many use cases. On-premise becomes the right answer when data sovereignty, regulatory exposure, or cost-per-token at scale make it the better economic and compliance choice. Many customers run both, with QuickStrike handling sensitive workloads.How fast can AI infrastructure be deployed?
Most QuickStrike-based deployments reach production in days on existing hardware. The first call to a deployment proposal typically takes under two weeks. Time-to-production depends on data sovereignty requirements and which models you intend to run.Do we need new hardware?
Usually no. QuickStrike runs on existing Cisco UCS or comparable hardware with GPU capacity. We size the environment during scoping. New hardware is required only when GPU or storage falls below the workload requirement.Which compliance frameworks are addressed?
CMMC, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, and SOC 2 are addressed by default through architecture choices and audit logging. Custom frameworks are added through configuration during scoping.Can BTA stay engaged after deployment?
Yes. The Full Service Lifecycle ends with your team running the system on Day-2. From there, retain BTA through Consulting & Advisory or move to Fully Managed Services where BTA operates the system day to day under your governance.
