“Enterprises are being asked to move fast on AI and stay in control at the same time. AI use is spreading faster than teams can discover, govern, or secure it, driving up cost and leaving no single place to set the rules. The A10 AI Gateway gives organizations one intelligent control plane to see how AI is being used, to govern who can access which models, and match every request to the right model at the right cost. Our integrated portfolio gives customers a complete, sovereign way to put AI to work at scale. That is how enterprises adopt AI with confidence instead of trading speed for control.” ~Dhrupad Trivedi, President and CEO of A10 Networks
A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) has announced the upcoming A10 AI Gateway, an intelligent control plane designed to help organizations centrally manage and govern their use of artificial intelligence. The solution is scheduled to become available in the fourth quarter of 2026.
A10 AI Gateway provides organizations with unified AI routing, cost management, and governance across the AI agents, applications, and large language models (LLMs) they use. By providing centralized visibility into AI activity, the platform helps organizations optimize costs, manage access, strengthen security, and use AI more efficiently across their operations.
Background
As AI adoption continues to accelerate, organizations are increasingly integrating AI agents and generative AI capabilities into their business applications. However, managing multiple AI providers and models can make it challenging for enterprises to track which models are being used, monitor associated costs, and ensure that the right governance and security measures are in place.
AI workloads can also vary significantly, ranging from straightforward processing tasks to applications requiring advanced reasoning. This creates a growing need for an AI management platform that can optimize performance, minimize latency, strengthen security operations, and help organizations maintain better control over AI-related expenses.
Addressing these challenges, A10 AI Gateway brings an organization’s AI usage together through a centralized management platform. By consolidating AI operations into a single environment, the solution is designed to help enterprises manage their AI infrastructure more efficiently while maintaining stronger security and governance.
Overview
A10 AI Gateway serves as an intelligent control plane designed to centralize AI model routing, cost management, and governance across an organization’s AI agents, applications, and large language models (LLMs).
The platform intelligently identifies and selects the most appropriate AI model for each request based on its content and the organization’s applicable usage policies. At the same time, it provides centralized visibility into AI usage and costs, helping organizations optimize performance, manage expenses, strengthen security, and enforce governance policies. This approach also enables developers and users to access the AI models best suited to their specific requirements.
Key Features
Identity-based AI Access
Synchronizes with existing local directory systems to apply access and routing policies by user or group. For example, organizations can configure different AI models and usage policies for engineering and finance teams.
Smart Routing
Moving beyond static routing policies and simple request metering, A10 AI Gateway evaluates the complexity and type of each request. It automatically routes simple tasks to more cost-efficient models and tasks requiring advanced reasoning to more capable models.
Centralized Traffic and Cost Management
As a central control plane, A10 AI Gateway provides real-time, per-request cost tracking in dollars; per-model and per-team token budget management with hard limits and soft-limit alerts; and usage controls (TPM/RPM) by key or team. This centralizes visibility into AI usage and costs while supporting effective governance.
Integration with A10's AI Security Portfolio
A10 AI Gateway complements A10's existing AI security portfolio, including TrojAI, A10 AI Firewall and ThreatX. It supports security across the full AI lifecycle, from pre-deployment testing and runtime protection to controls at the network and API layers.
Flexible Deployment Within the Customer Environment
A10 AI Gateway is available as standalone software or with integrated hardware and can run entirely within the customer's own environment, including on-premises, private cloud and air-gapped environments. This enables organizations to maintain control over their models, data and policies while preserving data sovereignty - an advantage that cloud-hosted and edge-bound gateways cannot match.
Availability
A10 AI Gateway is scheduled to become available in the fourth quarter of 2026.
