Cisco and NVIDIA introduce the Cisco AI POD for Splunk, enabling Splunk AI to run in on-premises, private cloud and air-gapped environments. The platform combines Cisco infrastructure, NVIDIA accelerated computing and Kubernetes-based architecture, addressing data sovereignty and regulatory constraints for enterprise AI deployments. Splunk AI Assistant is available now, with Agent Launchpad due later in 2025\. **(EENEWS)**

[Cisco expands Splunk AI with NVIDIACisco is extending Splunk’s AI capabilities to on-premises and air-gapped environments through a new infrastructure platform developed with NVIDIA. The company is also adding tools to track AI token spending and agent performance, while expanding Splunk’s agentic security capabilities. For eeNews Europe readers, the developments are particularly relevant to organizations facing data sovereignty, security or regulatory constraints that make cloud-based AI difficult to deploy. They also highlight how AI infrastructure, observability and cybersecurity are increasingly being combined into a single enterprise stack. Splunk AI moves on-premises Cisco AI POD for Splunk is the latest configuration within the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA. Available now, it combines Cisco infrastructure, NVIDIA accelerated computing, AI runtime software and a Kubernetes-based architecture optimized for Splunk AI workloads. The platform allows Splunk Enterprise customers to run AI in their own data centers, private clouds and air-gapped environments instead of sending sensitive information to external cloud services. “One of the biggest roadblocks to enterprise AI today is that it’s too hard to deploy,” said Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer, Cisco. “Customers want to know: Can I trust it to do the job? Can I afford it? And, most importantly, can I secure it? By running Splunk AI on the infrastructure customers already trust, they can move faster to put AI to work in their business with confidence and control.” Splunk AI Assistant is available on the platform now, while Agent Launchpad, designed for building custom AI agents, is due later this year. Customers will also be able to self-host several open and proprietary AI models, including Cisco’s Deep Time Series Model, Google Gemma 4 and OpenAI GPT-OSS 20B. NVIDIA Nemotron open models are expected in the coming months. Tracking the cost of AI agents Cisco is also expanding Splunk Agent Observability with a feature called Tokenomics, designed to show organizations how much their AI agents are costing in real time. The system tracks token spending across AI agents as well as coding tools including Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Cisco says it will also forecast future consumption using its Deep Time Series Model, helping companies link AI usage and spending to business outcomes. Splunk Agent Observability is now available through Splunk Observability Cloud and Cisco Cloud Control. It monitors model and agent behavior across the AI stack and can apply runtime guardrails intended to prevent unsafe or inaccurate actions. More automation for security operations Splunk is also expanding its Agentic SOC Workforce with AI agents for detection engineering, threat hunting, investigation, response and policy governance. New Exposure Analytics features add broader asset coverage, historical tracking and business-specific risk information. Separately, Splunk and AWS have signed a multi-year agreement to jointly develop security products aimed at AI-assisted detection, investigation and response. The companies plan to combine Splunk’s security data and detection capabilities with AWS cloud infrastructure as enterprises move toward increasingly automated security operations.
