Partners
ZTA Labs is designed to fit the institution’s existing data, infrastructure, applications, security controls, and service relationships. The architecture should not require a forced rip-and-replace decision to become viable.
How we think about partners
ZTA works across an open partner ecosystem that can include enterprise data platforms, model and software vendors, infrastructure providers, identity and security systems, and implementation partners.
Partner strategy follows the client’s environment and governance requirements, not the other way around.
Platforms that hold or govern institutional evidence, entitlements, and metadata.
Serving, routing, evaluation, and orchestration capabilities for approved open-weight models.
NVIDIA infrastructure and the software layers required to deploy client-controlled AI environments.
Institutional identity, access control, audit, secrets, encryption, and operating controls.
Existing research, diligence, committee, or monitoring systems that should remain part of the user workflow.
System integrators and specialist partners that can help the institution operate and extend the environment over time.
Operating principle
ZTA defines the operating boundaries required for governance and transferability, while leaving room for the institution’s preferred tooling choices where they do not compromise control, auditability, or portability.
