You Don't Need Another AI Tool.
You Need It to Work.
We deploy production AI systems inside your enterprise — on hardware you own, with workflows that work in weeks, not months. Your data never leaves your building.
The Real Problem
Cloud AI Has a
Hidden Price Tag.
The AI market is following the same arc as cloud computing: on-prem to cloud to “that's expensive” to repatriation. Enterprises are waking up to what sending data to cloud AI providers really costs.
Unpredictable Costs
Per-token pricing compounds fast. Enterprise-scale AI on cloud APIs can blow your budget overnight.
Your Data Leaves the Building
Every API call sends proprietary data to someone else's servers. For regulated industries, that's a non-starter.
You Can't Hire AI Specialists
AI engineers cost $300K+ and take months to find. Mid-market companies can't compete for that talent.
Off-the-Shelf Doesn't Fit
Generic AI tools don't understand your workflows, your data, or your industry. You need AI built for your business.
The Solution
On-Prem AI, Fully Managed.
OpenGate deploys turnkey AI systems inside your enterprise. We handle everything — hardware, models, workflows, and ongoing operations.
NVIDIA DGX Spark On-Site
Enterprise-grade AI hardware deployed in your building, on your network. 1 petaflop of compute you own.
Models Fine-Tuned to You
AI trained on your domain — law, healthcare, IT ops — not generic chatbot responses.
Production in 1 Week
Your first AI workflow goes live with real data in days, not the 3-6 months others quote.
Fixed Annual Cost
No per-token surprises. Predictable pricing you can budget for, unlike cloud API metering.
Ongoing Support & Optimization
We don't just deploy and disappear. Continuous tuning, new workflows, and operational support.
100% Data Stays On-Network
Your data never leaves your building. HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant by architecture, not by promise.
Our Process
From Zero to Production AI in Weeks
Discover
We audit your workflows and identify the highest-impact AI opportunities. No generic playbooks — specific to your business.
Deploy
We install and configure your AI system on-site with NVIDIA DGX Spark hardware. Your network, your building.
Deliver
Your first production AI workflow goes live with your real data. Not a demo — a working system your team uses.
Optimize
Continuous tuning, new workflows, cost optimization, and support. We're your AI team, not a one-time vendor.

Mid-market companies (250-2,000 employees) who need AI but can't hire AI teams
Organizations with proprietary data that can't leave the building
IT leaders tired of unpredictable per-token cloud AI costs
Teams that know they need AI but don't have specialists on staff
