You’re tasked with supporting next-gen AI on infrastructure that was never intended for such advanced capabilities.
In highly regulated sectors such as government, financial services, and healthcare, IT teams are under immense pressure to foster innovation while ensuring compliance.
Unfortunately, traditional systems struggle to meet the speed, scale, and complexity required by generative and agentic AI.
This results in a growing divide between business expectations and the limitations of existing infrastructure.
This situation presents a twofold challenge:
- Maintaining continuous security and compliance across production systems.
- Delivering AI swiftly enough to fulfill business requirements without exceeding time, cost, or resource constraints.
For many teams, starting over with open-source tools simply isn’t feasible.
What’s essential is a composable, integrated AI foundation that can operate across various environments, simplify operations, and provide IT teams with the tools they need to deliver results quickly without sacrificing security or governance.
Reasons AI Stalls in High-Security Environments
AI initiatives often lose momentum—or never reach production—due to obstacles such as:
- Procurement and Integration Delays: Acquiring and implementing new tools is time-consuming, stalling both adoption and impact.
- Disconnected Infrastructure: Siloed systems hinder access to vital data, complicating the design of a scalable, resilient AI stack.
- Operational Complexity: IT teams spend more time maintaining tools than facilitating data science workflows.
- Rigid Security and Compliance Requirements: Every new component must undergo vetting, testing, and regulatory approval, while AI demands quick iterations.
- Poor Observability and Blind Spots: Limited visibility leads to rework and delays during audits.
These challenges are intrinsically linked; piecemeal fixes will not resolve them.
To deliver outcomes at scale, a platform is necessary that simplifies infrastructure, embeds security and governance, and equips IT teams with the tools and control they need to act quickly without sacrificing trust.
Validated by Nutanix, Built for Regulated Environments
IT leaders require more than a hodgepodge of tools; they need a secure, scalable platform that’s ready to use out of the box.
This is precisely what we’ve built with Nutanix.
We are proud to be recognized as Nutanix’s 2025 Americas Technology Alliance Partner of the Year, reflecting our shared commitment to simplifying agentic AI for highly regulated, on-prem environments.
This accolade underscores the strength of our integrated solution: a validated, enterprise-grade AI platform that operates securely on Nutanix infrastructure. It facilitates rapid deployment, incorporates governance, and ensures full-stack integration, enabling teams to accelerate adoption without compromising compliance or control.
Simplifying Agentic AI Delivery On-Prem
Current tools and infrastructure are not designed to meet the speed, scale, or security requirements of AI—especially in highly regulated, on-prem environments.
DataRobot and Nutanix eliminate friction with a fully integrated platform that simplifies setup, secures access to cutting-edge models, and embeds observability and governance from the beginning.
Together, we provide a validated AI stack tailored for high-security on-prem and air-gapped environments. This comprehensive solution offers IT leaders the speed and compliance required to extract AI value without exceeding budgetary limits or sacrificing control.
It’s quick to set up, easy to manage, and designed to support secure, governed AI from development to deployment.

DataRobot Delivers Mission-Critical AI Apps for Federal Agencies
Federal agencies cannot afford disruption. That’s why DataRobot provides mission-critical AI applications designed to integrate seamlessly with existing systems and deploy where your data resides, allowing you to act quickly, remain compliant, and drive mission outcomes without overhauling your infrastructure.
Our AI applications address a variety of critical use cases, including:
- Budget Insight and Contract Optimization: Identify underutilized funds and model future resource needs to facilitate smarter, faster budget decisions.
- Fraud, Waste, and Abuse Surveillance: Detect anomalies early through continuous data monitoring and automated compliance alerts.
- Talent Management and Force Readiness: Optimize recruitment, retention, and training initiatives to sustain a mission-ready workforce.
- Operational Efficiency and Predictive Maintenance: Streamline procurement and forecast equipment failures to enhance fleet availability and reduce costs.
Secure On-Prem AI Without Compromise
For IT leaders in regulated industries, AI success often entails tough trade-offs: speed versus control, innovation versus compliance, usability versus security, and budget overruns versus mission success.
In sectors like public services, healthcare, and finance, the challenge lies in meeting every requirement without hampering progress.
To transition from AI ambition to concrete results, consider the following:
- Is your infrastructure fast, secure, and adaptable enough to evolve?
- Are security and compliance controls built-in and user-friendly?
- Do your tools and applications empower your teams to deliver on business expectations?
This serves as the new operational baseline for secure AI delivery in highly regulated environments, and it’s exactly what Nutanix and DataRobot are equipped to achieve.
With this platform, you can deploy AI securely and efficiently without compromise—transforming ambitions into measurable outcomes.
