The on-prem AI operations appliance

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.

When the cloud is not an option

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.

The platform, inside your walls

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.

Monthly$4,200excl. tax
Requests any time, 24/7/365No limit on the number of requestsNo extra quotes or person-month charges for GIIP’s work

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.

How much does FDE Box cost?

$4,200 per month (excl. tax). This includes the dedicated physical FDE Box, installation, environment setup, continuous operation, FDE Box incident response and answer-quality tuning.

Are there setup fees or hardware purchase costs?

No. Setup fees, installation costs and the FDE Box hardware itself are all included in the monthly fee.

Do I get charged extra every time I request work?

There are no additional per-request quotes or extra person-month charges for GIIP’s work. Development, database, infrastructure, investigation, operational improvements and more can all be requested from the FDE. Work is processed in order of scale, risk and priority.

What happens if the FDE Box has an incident?

GIIP checks the status and handles recovery and any needed adjustments. Incident response for the FDE Box itself is included in the monthly fee.

What if the answers don’t meet the quality I expect?

GIIP checks and adjusts the prompts, model, tools, knowledge and execution procedures so the results match your goals. This quality tuning is also included in the monthly fee.

Are AWS or AI API fees included?

Fees for third-party services you use — AWS, Azure, external AI APIs, SaaS, commercial licenses — are not included. Those are billed by each service provider directly.

Is this a service staffed by five human engineers?

It’s not a contract with five people on-site. AI multi-agents execute the five specialty areas — requirements & design, development, database, infrastructure, production operations — while a human senior FDE handles design, review, high-risk decisions and quality tuning.

Can I request work 24 hours a day?

You can request work from the FDE any time. AI-driven monitoring and pre-approved processing run continuously. Human emergency-response hours and SLAs follow your contract terms.

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.
