Enterprise AI infrastructure
The operating system for enterprise AI
Strata is the control plane that runs, governs, and observes every model and agent in your company. One runtime across any cloud or on-prem cluster. One policy layer your security team can audit. Deployed inside your environment — your data never leaves it.
01 — Why now
AI adoption outran AI infrastructure
Most enterprises now run dozens of models and hundreds of AI workloads — each team with its own stack, keys, and spend. That isn't a tooling gap. It's a missing layer of the infrastructure.
Every team built its own stack
Five inference providers, three vector stores, no shared runtime. Migrating a model means rewriting an application. Nothing is reusable, and nothing is standard across the company.
No one can answer the audit
Which model saw customer data last quarter? Under which policy, approved by whom? Without a control plane, the honest answer is a shrug — and regulators have stopped accepting shrugs.
Spend without attribution
GPUs sit idle in one cluster while another team queues. Inference invoices arrive as a single line item. Finance can't attribute it; engineering can't optimize what it can't see.
02 — Architecture
One layer between your applications and your infrastructure
Strata sits where an operating system belongs: below every AI application your teams build, above every cluster and cloud you run. Everything passes through it — so everything is scheduled, governed, and accounted for.
03 — The platform
What an operating system owes you
Six subsystems, one contract: every AI workload in your company runs the same way — schedulable, governed, observable, and attributable.
Unified model runtime
Serve open-weight, fine-tuned, and proprietary models behind one versioned API. Pin revisions, canary new weights, and roll back in seconds — the application never changes.
Orchestration & scheduling
Bin-pack inference and training across clusters and clouds. Automatic failover between providers, priority queues for production traffic, and utilization targets your capacity team sets.
Policy engine
Data-access rules, model allowlists, regional routing, and human-approval gates — written once by your security team, enforced at runtime on every request. Not a wiki page. A system call.
Full-stack observability
Every prompt, tool call, token, and latency percentile traced end to end and exportable over OpenTelemetry. When something degrades at 2 a.m., you see where — not vibes, spans.
Cost metering & attribution
Per-team, per-application, per-model chargeback with GPU utilization accounting. Finance gets a ledger; engineering gets the levers that actually move it.
Sovereign deployment
Runs in your VPC, on-prem, or fully air-gapped. Your KMS keys, your network boundary, zero data retention by default. We operate the software; you own everything it touches.
04 — For engineers
Built API-first, for the people on call
Strata is infrastructure, so it behaves like infrastructure: declarative config, GitOps-native, a real CLI, and an API for everything the console can do.
$ strata deploy --env prod ✓ config valid routes.yaml · policies.yaml ✓ policy check passed 14 rules · 0 violations ✓ llama-3.3-70b pinned rev 4f2c91 · fp8 · 8×H100 ✓ canary 5% → 100% completed in 12m 40s deployment live rollback: strata rollback --to 4f2c90
05 — Security & compliance
Security is the architecture, not a pricing tier
Strata is designed for regulated industries first. Every guarantee below is a property of how the system is built — it applies to every deployment, from the first pilot onward.
Zero data retention
Prompts and outputs are processed in memory and never persisted by Strata. What you choose to log goes to your stores, under your keys.
Your keys, your boundary
Bring-your-own KMS, private networking end to end, and deployments that never open an outbound connection you didn't approve.
Immutable audit log
Every request, policy decision, and configuration change is recorded append-only and exportable to your SIEM. Built for examiners, not just dashboards.
Enterprise identity
SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, and role-based access mapped to your directory — service accounts included, spreadsheets excluded.
Built to the control sets
Architected against the SOC 2 and ISO 27001 control frameworks, with a HIPAA BAA available. Documentation shared under NDA.
Air-gapped option
For classified and sovereign environments: fully offline installation, signed artifacts, and update bundles you inspect before they enter the building.
06 — Principles
How we build
Infrastructure earns trust by being predictable. We would rather be the boring, inevitable layer than the exciting one.
Everything is declarative
If it can't be written down, reviewed, and version-controlled, it isn't infrastructure. Config is the source of truth; the console is a view onto it.
Observable by default
You should never have to add instrumentation to answer a basic question. Every request is traced the moment it enters the system — off is a decision, not the default.
Your environment, your data
Strata runs where your data already lives. We operate the software; you keep the keys, the boundary, and full custody of everything that passes through.
Boring on purpose
Foundational systems don't get to be clever at your expense. We optimize for the on-call engineer at 3 a.m., not the demo. Stability is the feature.
Get started
Bring your AI estate under one control plane
Talk to the engineers who build Strata. A technical demo takes 45 minutes and runs against your use case, not a slide deck.
Typical pilot: your VPC, two workloads, four weeks.
