AI Platform & Infrastructure Management
AI applications are only as reliable as the infrastructure beneath them.
30 minutes. No obligation. Written findings either way.
The problem
Spinning up AI infrastructure is the easy part. Running it reliably, cost-efficiently, and securely over time is not. Most teams underestimate what ongoing platform management actually requires: until costs spiral, latency degrades, or a misconfigured API gateway exposes sensitive data.
What we do about it
We manage your AI infrastructure: compute, API gateways, monitoring, cost optimization, scaling, and patching. Your team focuses on the applications. We handle what's underneath.
What does AI Platform & Infrastructure Management include?
Everything below is covered in one agreement, documented in writing, and reviewed with you on a schedule.
Compute Environment Management
Cloud or on-premises AI compute provisioned, configured, and managed: sized for your workloads and right-sized as usage evolves to control costs.
LLM API Gateway
Secure API gateway configuration for LLM providers: rate limiting, access control, cost monitoring, request logging, and credential management.
Uptime & Performance Monitoring
AI infrastructure monitored for availability, response latency, and error rates: with alerting and incident response when performance degrades.
Cost Optimization
Usage analytics and cost controls to prevent runaway AI spend. Budget alerts, usage quotas, and regular right-sizing reviews keep costs predictable.
Model Deployment Pipelines
Versioned deployment pipelines for AI models and application updates: so changes are controlled, tested, and reversible rather than ad-hoc.
Scaling Configuration
Auto-scaling and load management configured for variable AI workloads: so peak demand is handled cleanly without manual intervention or outages.
Security Hardening
AI infrastructure hardened against attack: network isolation, credential rotation, access logging, and configuration management to prevent unauthorized access.
Incident Response
When AI infrastructure fails: outage, performance degradation, or security event: we respond and restore, then document what happened and how to prevent it.
How working with us starts
No sales deck, no pressure. The first conversation is useful whether or not you hire us.
A 30-minute assessment call
We talk through how your office runs today: devices, email, backups, who has access to what, and what keeps you up at night. If it helps, we review your Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace settings while we talk.
Written findings and a flat-rate proposal
You get a short, plain-English summary of what we found and what we would fix first. If managed IT makes sense, the proposal is one flat monthly number with everything listed.
Onboarding without disruption
We document your environment, roll out monitoring and security in stages, and introduce your team to the help desk. Most work happens remotely; on-site visits are scheduled around your business.
AI Platform & Infrastructure Management: common questions
What does AI Platform & Infrastructure Management from Lagniappe IT include?
AI Platform Infrastructure covers compute provisioning, model hosting, API gateways, observability and monitoring, cost optimization, and scaling for AI workloads from prototype through production. Scope is set to your environment, written down, and delivered on a schedule.
How much does AI Platform & Infrastructure Management cost?
AI Platform & Infrastructure Management is normally part of a flat monthly managed IT agreement priced mainly on headcount, rather than sold by the hour. Larger one-time projects are quoted separately. We quote after a free assessment so the number reflects your actual environment.
Who is AI Platform & Infrastructure Management a good fit for?
Owner-led businesses of roughly 5 to 50 people on the Northshore of Louisiana, especially law firms, CPA firms, dental and medical practices, title companies, insurance agencies, contractors and nonprofits that hold sensitive data and cannot afford downtime.
Where do you deliver AI Platform & Infrastructure Management?
From our office in Mandeville across St. Tammany Parish (Covington, Slidell, Madisonville, Abita Springs and nearby), plus Hammond and the Greater New Orleans area. Most work is remote; on-site visits are scheduled when hands are needed.
