    Agent Runtime Operations at a Glance

    What it is

    Agent Runtime Operations is iTmethods' sub-component inside the Forge AI Substrate for deploying and governing enterprise AI agent runtimes. NemoClaw, Cursor Self-Hosted, Claude Code, and LangGraph. On Forge infrastructure with Reign governance.

    Key capabilities
    • Managed NemoClaw: NVIDIA's agent security stack on your GPU infrastructure
    • Managed Cursor Self-Hosted: autonomous coding agents in isolated VMs
    • Cross-runtime fleet visibility and unified policy enforcement via Reign
    • Token-level cost governance and team chargeback
    • Shadow AI detection across all agent runtimes
    • SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA infrastructure compliance. Reign-governable on top
    • Cloud, VPC, on-prem, air-gapped, and DGX deployment
    • 24/7 operations, patching, scaling, and incident response
    Best for

    CTOs, VPs of Engineering, CISOs, and DevOps leaders at regulated enterprises who are adopting AI agent runtimes and need managed infrastructure with unified governance.

    WHERE THIS FITS IN FORGE

    One of four sub-components inside the Forge AI Substrate.

    The Forge AI Substrate is iTmethods Sovereign Substrate Engineering applied to AI. Agent Runtime Operations is one piece. The other three sit alongside.

    Agent Runtime Operations

    Sub-component

    Governed Foundation Model Access

    Sub-component

    MCP and Tool Operations

    Sub-component

    Governed Sovereign Control Plane

    BUILT ON SOVEREIGN SUBSTRATE ENGINEERING

    21 years of building and operating foundational infrastructure under customer ownership.

    Sovereign Substrate Engineering is the iTmethods discipline of building and operating foundational AI infrastructure under customer ownership and control, to audit-grade. Agent Runtime Operations applies that discipline to the agent layer. Same operating posture, same audit trails, applied to NemoClaw, Cursor Self-Hosted, Claude Code, and LangGraph.

    WHAT'S INCLUDED

    Two layers. One platform.

    Forge. Infrastructure Operations

    We deploy, scale, patch, and monitor agent runtimes on your infrastructure. Just like we do for Jenkins, GitLab, and JFrog today.

    Provisioning and deployment (cloud, VPC, on-prem, air-gapped, DGX)
    Auto-scaling and capacity management
    Patching, upgrades and version management
    24/7 monitoring, alerting and incident response
    SSO, RBAC and network security hardening
    Backup, DR and data residency controls

    Reign. Governance and Compliance

    Unified governance across every agent runtime. Policy enforcement, cost controls, and compliance evidence from one control plane.

    AI Gateway: LLM routing, rate limiting, content filtering
    AI Gateway · MCP Defense: cross-runtime fleet visibility and tool governance
    Audit Ledger: audit trails and compliance artifacts
    Token-level cost governance and chargeback
    Shadow AI detection across all runtimes
    Regulator-ready evidence. See /reign for framework coverage
    ARCHITECTURE

    The three-layer stack.

    Vendors ship Layer 1 (the runtime). iTmethods provides Layers 2 and 3. The infrastructure operations and governance that make agent runtimes enterprise-ready.
