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 catalog, 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 catalog 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.

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
