Running a Secure AI Factory: From Experimentation to Enterprise Scale | Gruve at Cisco Live 2026
At Cisco Live 2026, Rajeev Khanolkar, Chief Strategy Officer at Gruve, delivers a practitioner’s view on what it actually takes to run a Secure AI Factory at enterprise scale.
In this session from Village Theater 3 at the World of Solutions, Rajeev breaks down why enterprises are moving AI workloads on-prem and how Cisco’s Secure AI Factory architecture, paired with Gruve’s PulseAI platform, turns that shift into something deployable today.
What Rajeev covers:
- Why uncontrolled token consumption from cloud LLMs is driving surprise six-figure bill
- Data sovereignty: where your data really goes when you use cloud-based models
- Protecting enterprise IP and proprietary logic from cloud AI exposure
- Why Nvidia’s AI Factory concept and Cisco’s Secure AI Factory matter for enterprise AI
- How Cisco brings together compute, networking, storage, Red Hat OpenShift, Nvidia, Cisco AI Defense, Isovalent, and Splunk observability into one secure stack
- Introducing PulseAI: Gruve’s small, medium, and large pre-configured, Cisco-aligned platforms for enterprise AI agents, available in both CapEx and OpEx models
Learn more about PulseAI and how Gruve is operationalizing Cisco’s Secure AI Factory.
