KxAI Deployment
Deployment

KxAI runs in the cloud.
It can also run in yours.

KxAI is a data and AI governance layer. It indexes your datasets, connects to third-party sources, stores small data, and controls how AI agents interact with it all. Run it in the cloud alongside Koordinates, or deploy it to your own infrastructure as a standalone licence.

Cloud (the default)

Every Koordinates site includes KxAI

Your datasets are automatically indexed. AI governance controls are available immediately. KxAI sees everything in your Koordinates catalogue — plus any third-party sources you connect. Nothing to deploy. Nothing to manage.

📦

Auto-indexed

Your Koordinates datasets are indexed on upload

🔗

Connect sources

Third-party data sources connected from the dashboard

🔐

Governed

AI access policies and audit trail from day one

Zero ops

Auto-scaling cloud tenancy. Nothing to manage

On-Premises Licence

Need data and AI governance inside your own perimeter?

KxAI is available as a standalone on-premises licence for organisations that need to index and govern data that can't leave their network — or that need AI governance running under their own compliance framework.

🗂

Index your data wherever it lives

Point KxAI at your internal file shares, databases, object storage, or third-party APIs. It builds a governance catalogue without moving data. No need to publish through Koordinates.

💾

Store small data locally

Reference datasets, lookup tables, configuration layers, boundaries — the kind of data that supports governance decisions but doesn't need a full data platform behind it.

🛡

AI governance in your perimeter

MCP connection management, access policies, audit trail, token lifecycle — all running on your infrastructure under your compliance framework.

Cloud + On-Prem Together

The enterprise play

Run Koordinates as your cloud data platform and KxAI on-prem as your governance layer. KxAI indexes both your Koordinates cloud data and your internal sources from a single dashboard.

One governance view across cloud-published and internal data. One audit trail. One set of AI access policies.

Deployment Targets

Three options for on-prem

We ship KxAI as a container image. You run it where your security requirements dictate.

Kubernetes

Helm chart provided. Horizontal scaling. Health checks and liveness probes included. Works with EKS, AKS, GKE, or on-prem K8s.

Virtual Machine

OVA or Docker Compose deployment. Single-node or multi-node. Suitable for environments without container orchestration.

Air-Gapped

Offline installation package. No internet connectivity required. Manual update process with signed release bundles.

What Changes with On-Prem

Your responsibilities

The cloud version has zero operational responsibility. Here's what the on-prem licence adds to your team's plate.
