AI-ready infrastructure

We stand up Cisco AI-ready infrastructure for GPU clusters that train, infer, and stay defended.

From the non-blocking back-end fabric to the GPU servers and the security wrapped around the AI environment, we size a complete Cisco AI cluster as one quote-ready bill of materials that Uniqcli validates and deploys. Built for agencies and enterprises moving AI from pilot to production.

Sized from real inputs

Access-point, port, and rack counts are derived from your facility, not guesswork or a generic template.

Validated Cisco BOM

We confirm the exact SKUs, licensing tier and term, services, and availability before you sign.

Procurement-ready

TAA compliant posture, contract vehicle, and CLIN structure so the quote clears your buyer the first time.

What the AI-ready stack covers.

Enough detail for IT, procurement, and facilities to move together, then we validate the final BOM.

Lossless AI fabric on Silicon One and Nexus

We build the GPU back-end network on Cisco Silicon One and Cisco Nexus 9000 switching with RoCEv2 lossless Ethernet, PFC, and ECN tuning for non-blocking, low-jitter east-west traffic. The result is a fabric sized so GPUs stay fed instead of stalling on congestion.

UCS AI and GPU compute

We size Cisco UCS GPU servers, including UCS C-Series dense-GPU and UCS X-Series modular nodes, against your model, token, and training-versus-inference profile. Operations run through Cisco Intersight and Nexus Dashboard so the cluster is provisioned and assured from one pane of glass.

Securing AI with AI Defense and Hypershield

We wrap the cluster in Cisco AI Defense for model discovery, validation, and runtime guardrails against jailbreaks and data leakage, plus Cisco Hypershield for AI-native, autonomous segmentation across fabric and workloads. Protection enforced at AI scale, not bolted on after.

Right-sized BOM and federal-ready deployment

We turn GPU count, rack power, optics, and cabling into an exact, validated Cisco bill of materials with TAA-compliant SKUs and DoDIN APL alignment. Uniqcli stages, configures, and deploys the cluster so it clears procurement and powers on the first time.

Design & assessment

Architecture, readiness review, and right-sized BOMs from real facility inputs, not a generic template.

RF & site survey

On-site survey for SCIF, multi-floor, outdoor, and datacenter risk before install, so the count holds at turn-up.

Procurement & TAA

TAA compliant sourcing, contract vehicle, CLIN structure, and a procurement-ready package that clears review.

Staging & configuration

Pre-staging, golden configs, labeling, and validation in our lab before anything ships to the site.

Cabling, install & cutover

Structured cabling, rack-and-stack, optics, and a low-risk cutover with full documentation and handoff.

Managed operations & support

Monitoring, firmware lifecycle, change windows, Smartnet, and quarterly health reviews after turn-up.

Built for federal & public-sector delivery.

Frequently asked questions

Common ai-ready infrastructure questions, answered by the Uniqcli Team.

Why lossless Ethernet with RoCEv2 instead of InfiniBand for the GPU back-end?

RoCEv2 lossless Ethernet on Cisco Silicon One and Nexus 9000 delivers the low-latency, non-blocking, high-throughput fabric GPU clusters need while keeping you on standard Ethernet operations, tooling, and skills. We tune PFC and ECN so the network stays lossless under collective traffic, and the same fabric scales as you add GPU nodes without a separate, single-vendor interconnect to operate.

Which Cisco UCS servers do you use for AI and GPU workloads?

We size Cisco UCS GPU platforms to the workload: UCS C-Series dense-GPU rack servers for training and large-model inference, and UCS X-Series modular nodes where you want to evolve compute, GPU, and fabric without a forklift upgrade. We match GPU type, count, rack power, and cooling to your training-versus-inference profile, then manage it all through Cisco Intersight.

How does Cisco secure the AI environment itself, not just the network?

Cisco AI Defense discovers and inventories AI applications and models, red-teams them for safety and security gaps before deployment, and enforces runtime guardrails on prompts and responses to block jailbreaks and data leakage. Cisco Hypershield adds AI-native, autonomous microsegmentation and virtual patching distributed across the fabric, servers, and workloads, so the cluster is defended at AI scale where manual policy cannot keep up.

Is this AI infrastructure TAA compliant and suitable for DoD and federal clusters?

Yes. We source TAA-compliant Cisco SKUs with country-of-origin documentation and align the architecture to DoDIN APL, FedRAMP, and Zero Trust requirements from the start. The bill of materials ships CLIN-structured and procurement-ready on GSA, SEWP, NASPO, or open-market vehicles so the buy clears review the first time.

Can you deliver the whole AI cluster as one quote-ready package?

Yes. We size the back-end fabric, GPU servers, optics, cabling, and security into a single validated Cisco bill of materials, then stage, configure, and deploy it as one engagement. You get a defensible design and a quote-ready BOM that Uniqcli validates and deploys, rather than stitching switching, compute, and security from separate quotes.

Start with an estimate, then validate the final BOM.
