What infrastructure is required for on-premises deployment?

IntelliPaaS runs as a containerised application stack on Docker or Kubernetes. It deploys to bare metal, VMware, private cloud or any container-compatible infrastructure. Specific sizing depends on workload volume.

How are updates delivered for on-premises installations?

Updates are delivered as versioned packages. Your team reviews release notes, tests in a staging environment and applies to production on your schedule. Internet connectivity is optional for receiving updates.

Can I integrate with my existing identity provider?

Yes. IntelliPaaS integrates with LDAP, Active Directory and SAML-based identity providers. Role-based access control maps to your existing organisational structure and security policies.

What is the difference between on-premises and air-gapped deployment?

On-premises has optional internet connectivity – useful for receiving updates and contacting support. Air-gapped has zero internet connectivity by design. Both run the full platform within your infrastructure.

Full Integration Platform. Your Data Centre.

Q: Do I need a dedicated team to manage the platform?

A small team (1–2 people part-time) can manage a standard on-premises deployment. IntelliPaaS provides the platform updates, connector releases and technical support. Your team handles infrastructure and applies updates.

IntelliPaaS On-Premises runs the entire platform within your infrastructure. No cloud control plane, no external dependencies, no data leaving your network. You get the same connectors, visual builder and monitoring capabilities as the cloud version – deployed entirely on your terms.

An on-premises iPaaS is a full integration platform deployed entirely within your own data centre with zero cloud dependency. IntelliPaaS On-Premises includes the design studio, runtime engine, connector library and monitoring dashboards – all running on your infrastructure. It is built for organisations with strict data sovereignty requirements, regulatory mandates or a preference for self-managed platform lifecycles where every update is applied on your schedule.

Why On-Premises?

Complete Platform. Complete Control.

Some organisations cannot – or will not – send integration data through a third-party cloud. On-premises deployment gives you every platform capability with zero external dependency.

Key Capabilities:

Full platform deployed within your data centre – design studio, runtime engine, monitoring, connector library
Zero cloud dependency – the platform operates entirely within your network
Complete data sovereignty – all data processing, storage and logging stays on your infrastructure
Self-managed update cycles – you control when and how platform updates are applied
Integration with on-premises identity providers (LDAP, Active Directory, SAML)
Full audit trail and data lineage for compliance and accreditation
Support for STDIO and HTTP-based MCP server integration

How On-Premises Deployment Works

IntelliPaaS On-Premises is packaged as a containerised application stack that deploys to your existing infrastructure – bare metal, VMware, Kubernetes or private cloud. The installation includes the design studio, runtime engine, connector framework, monitoring dashboards and the complete connector library.

Your team manages the infrastructure: compute, storage, networking and backup. IntelliPaaS provides the platform updates, connector releases and technical support. Updates are delivered as versioned packages that your team reviews and applies on your schedule – not ours.

The platform integrates with your existing identity provider for authentication and role-based access control. All logs, transaction records and audit trails are stored within your infrastructure and accessible through your existing SIEM or log aggregation tools.

On-Premises vs Hybrid vs Air-Gapped

These three deployment models are often confused. Here is how they differ:

Aspect	On-Premises	Hybrid	Air-Gapped
Cloud Dependency	None – fully self-contained	Cloud control plane, on-prem runtime	None – fully isolated
Internet Required	Optional (for updates and support)	Yes (for control plane)	No – zero connectivity
Update Delivery	Versioned packages, applied on your schedule	Automatic via cloud	Offline media transfer
Best For	Data sovereignty, regulatory compliance	Mixed cloud/on-prem estates	Defence, classified networks, critical infrastructure

When On-Premises is the Right Choice

Regulatory or policy requirements prohibit cloud-based data processing
You need complete control over the platform lifecycle – updates, patches, configuration
Your integration workloads are entirely within your own data centre
You require integration with on-premises identity and security infrastructure
Internet connectivity exists but you choose not to depend on it for core business operations

Other Deployment Options

On-premises is one of four deployment models IntelliPaaS supports:

Cloud iPaaS

– Fully managed, zero infrastructure, ideal for cloud-first organisations

Hybrid Integration

– Cloud control plane with on-premises data processing

Air-Gapped Integration

– Fully isolated deployment with zero internet connectivity

On-Premises Deployment in Action

On-premises deployments enable sovereign data integration, ERP-to-ERP consolidation, financial services compliance, healthcare records synchronisation and government service delivery – all within infrastructure you own and control. IntelliPaaS runs the entire platform within your data centre with zero external dependency.

Use Case	Description
Sovereign Data Integration	Connect systems within a jurisdiction-controlled environment where data must not cross geographic or network boundaries
ERP-to-ERP Consolidation	Synchronise SAP, Oracle and other on-premises ERP systems across business units without routing data through external services
Financial Services Compliance	Integrate trading, risk and regulatory systems in environments where regulators require all data processing to occur on controlled infrastructure
Healthcare Records Integration	Connect clinical, administrative and billing systems while maintaining full compliance with data residency and privacy regulations
Government Service Delivery	Integrate citizen-facing and back-office systems within government-controlled infrastructure with full audit trail
