Cisco launches AI POD for Splunk, bringing self-managed Splunk AI to on-premises customers

At Splunk .conf in Denver, Cisco announced Cisco AI POD for Splunk, part of the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA, which is available now for on-premises, private cloud and air-gapped deployments. Splunk AI Assistant is also available now, while Agent Launchpad is due later in 2026. The release gives no customer counts, pricing or revenue figures, so its financial effect is not yet measurable.
