Cisco IT built DRIFT (Document Retrieval and Ingestion Framework Toolkit), an internal platform to standardize and accelerate RAG application development across the enterprise. The platform abstracts away infrastructure complexity — covering document preprocessing, embedding, vector database integration, hybrid search, and reranking — so developers can focus on business logic. Built on Kubernetes and Cisco's own UCS-C885A hardware, DRIFT supports on-premise deployment with enterprise-grade security and scalability. Since its MVP in January 2025, over 600 developers have built more than 1,500 pipelines across Finance, Legal, Engineering, and other business units, reducing pipeline build time from months to minutes.
