Cisco Brings Self-Managed AI to On-Premises Customers with NVIDIA Partnership

Cisco has announced new Splunk innovations to help customers trust AI and deploy it at scale within their enterprise. The company is expanding its partnership with NVIDIA to bring self-managed AI directly to on-premises Splunk Enterprise customers, across their own infrastructure.

Splunk AI Assistant and Agent Launchpad will run on this layer, bringing ad-hoc agentic investigations and custom agent building for a broad variety of use cases. Customers can also self-host a selection of open and proprietary generative AI models for their Splunk Enterprise workloads, including the Cisco Deep Time Series Model.

New Tokenomics solution in Splunk Agent Observability tracks AI spending and coding agent usage in real time, tying adoption to business value. This innovation gives organizations a real-time view into agent performance and AI token spend, enabling teams to see exactly where and why AI costs accumulate before they become a budget problem.
