Can an AI model be operated entirely on-premises?

Yes, an AI model can be operated entirely on-premises, meaning within your own infrastructure and without the cloud. We advise on architecture and support installation, integration, and operations.

However, on-premises typically involves higher organizational and technical effort. Infrastructure, security, monitoring, updates, and scaling must be managed internally. This requires the appropriate IT resources.

Cloud providers, by contrast, offer managed services that simplify setup, operations, and maintenance considerably. Features like automatic scaling, monitoring, backups, and high availability are already built in.

The decision between on-premises and cloud therefore depends primarily on security requirements, available IT resources, and the desired operating model.
