FDE Box: run AI operations inside your own perimeter.
For regulated, air-gapped and data-resident environments where cloud AI can’t reach. FDE Box brings GIIP’s AI multi-agent FDE Ops on-premises as an enterprise appliance — your infrastructure, your data, your control, no lock-in.
On-prem · data never leaves · enterprise governance · no vendor lock-in.
Dedicated hardware · fully operated$4,200 / month (excl. tax)The environments that most need operational discipline are the ones cloud AI can’t enter.
Regulated industries, government, defense and critical infrastructure can’t send production telemetry or credentials to an external SaaS — so they’re left operating the hardest systems by hand.
Data can’t leave the perimeter
Residency laws and security policy forbid shipping logs, metrics or secrets to an external AI service.
Air-gapped by design
The most critical systems run without outbound internet, which rules out cloud-only operations tooling entirely.
Manual ops on the highest stakes
The very environments that most need 24/7 disciplined operations are often the ones still run by a thin, overloaded team.
Lock-in is a non-starter
Regulated buyers can’t accept a black box they can’t audit, own, or walk away from.
FDE Box runs the full FDE Ops platform on your own hardware.
The same AI multi-agent operations that run in the cloud, delivered as an on-prem appliance that operates within your network and under your governance.
Runs on your infrastructure
Deployed inside your data center or private cloud. Telemetry, credentials and data stay within your perimeter.
Full FDE Ops on-prem
Provisioning, deployment, monitoring, incident response and optimization — the whole operations lifecycle, air-gap capable.
Your governance, your keys
Every action is approved, audited and reversible under your policy. Control never leaves the building.
No lock-in, clean handover
Everything is versioned and documented. The appliance augments your team; it doesn’t hold your systems hostage.

Vendor lock-in — versioned and yours
Nearly 30 years of production experience, for $4,200 a month, built into your FDE.
We’re not selling an AI model itself. The judgment we’ve built up across Infrastructure, Database, Cloud and Production operations is encoded into a Harness — delivered as an FDE environment that can keep executing work around the clock.

FDE Box Full-Operation Plan
Dedicated FDE Box hardware, installation, environment setup, FDE operations, incident response, answer-quality tuning and continuous improvement — all included in the monthly fee.
No additional quotes per request, and no extra person-month charges for engineers. Just send whatever work you need straight to the FDE.
Not five people — an environment where five areas of expertise keep executing work continuously.
GIIP FDE Box costs $4,200 per month (excl. tax). This includes dedicated physical hardware, installation, environment setup, continuous operation, FDE Box incident response and answer-quality tuning.
There are no additional per-request quotes or extra person-month charges for GIIP’s work.
Fees for third-party services you use — AWS, Azure, external AI APIs, SaaS and commercial licenses — are not included.
It’s not only development. Database, Infrastructure, Cloud, Production operations, incident response, performance improvement — you can send whatever work you need straight to the FDE.
If the results don’t meet expectations, GIIP also adjusts the Model, Prompt, Tool, Knowledge and Harness.
What’s included in the monthly fee
A dedicated physical FDE Box
We provide FDE Box hardware dedicated to you. No separate hardware purchase cost is required.
Installation & initial setup
We install the FDE Box and configure it to match your operating environment.
Environment integration
We integrate with your repositories, cloud, databases, monitoring and other systems as needed.
Continuous FDE operation
You can request development, database, infrastructure and operations work from the FDE.
FDE Box monitoring & incident response
If the FDE Box has an anomaly or fault, GIIP identifies the cause and handles recovery and prevention.
Answer-quality tuning
If the quality of answers or results falls short of expectations, we check and improve the prompts, model, tools, knowledge and execution procedures.
Continuous improvement
We continuously tune the FDE’s configuration and operating approach to match how it’s being used.
Senior FDE support
For design decisions, high-risk changes and quality issues AI can’t judge alone, a human senior FDE reviews and supports.

Fees for third-party services you use — AWS, Azure, external AI APIs, SaaS, commercial licenses and so on — are billed by each provider directly. There are no additional per-task charges for GIIP’s installation, environment setup, operations, incident response or quality tuning.
Development, database, infrastructure, investigation, monitoring, operational improvements and more — just send whatever work you need straight to the FDE.
The FDE organizes the approach and execution order based on the work’s scale, risk and priority.
High-risk work such as production changes or data deletion is executed only after approval.
Five areas of expertise in one FDE Box, instead of hiring five people
Requirements & Design
Requirements gathering, technical research, architecture, execution planning
Development
UI, APIs, batch jobs, testing, fixes
Database
SQL, performance, schema, migrations, monitoring
Infrastructure
AWS/Azure, networking, deployment, security, cost
Production Operations
Monitoring, incident analysis, response, improvement, records
This isn’t a contract with five people on-site. AI multi-agents handle execution in each area, while a human senior FDE handles design, review, high-risk decisions and quality tuning.

Frequently asked questions
Does any data leave our environment?
No. FDE Box is designed to operate within your perimeter. Production telemetry, credentials and data stay on your infrastructure; it can run air-gapped where policy requires it.
Is FDE Box an AI model server?
No. FDE Box is the operations appliance that runs FDE Ops — the AI multi-agent operations layer. It operates your infrastructure and services; it is not a model-hosting box, though it can drive models you already run.
What happens if we stop using it?
Everything the appliance does is versioned, documented and auditable, so your team inherits a clean, maintainable system. There is no lock-in.
Who stays in control of production?
You do. Every high-risk action follows your approval policy, and senior GIIP engineers back the appliance for escalation.
