## Why On-Premise

### Complete Control Over Your AI Infrastructure

Your servers, your network, your rules — no exceptions

**Your infrastructure, your data sovereignty**

ibl.ai deploys directly onto your servers — any cloud, private data center, GovCloud, or air-gapped environment. Nothing leaves your network unless you decide it should. You receive the complete platform with a [full source code license](/full-code-license).

- **Data never leaves** — Student records, employee data, research IP, and classified information stay on your servers. Full FERPA, COPPA, and NIST 800-53 compliance built in.
- **Your security perimeter** — Integrate with your existing firewalls, VPNs, identity providers (SAML, OAuth, PIV/CAC), and audit systems. No third-party network dependencies.
- **Zero vendor dependency** — No SaaS outages, no vendor sunset risk, no price increases. The platform runs independently on your infrastructure with your team in control.

## What's Included

### A Complete Platform, Not Just Software

Everything you need to run AI agents on your own infrastructure

**1. Full source code repository**

- Complete GitHub repository — every agent, connector, policy engine, and UI component
- Docker images, Kubernetes manifests, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code templates
- Perpetual license — your team can modify, extend, and audit every line

**2. 160+ pre-built AI agent templates**

- Tutoring, advising, enrollment, retention, compliance, IT help desk, and more
- Each agent comes with domain-specific workflows, safety guardrails, and data integrations
- Configure and customize agents for your institutional processes — no AI expertise required

**3. Deep system integrations**

- Native MCP-based connectors for SIS (Banner, PeopleSoft, Workday), LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, D2L), and CRM (Salesforce, Slate, EAB Navigate)
- Enterprise connectors for SAP, Oracle HCM, Cornerstone, Teams, Slack, and SharePoint
- Any LLM — OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Meta Llama, DeepSeek, or self-hosted models

**4. Ongoing engineering partnership**

- ibl.ai engineers work alongside your team to deploy, integrate, and customize
- Knowledge transfer so your team can build new agents and integrations independently
- Continuous platform updates — adopt at your pace, on your terms

## Deployment Options

### Deploy Anywhere

The same platform runs in any environment you choose

- **Private cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP)** — Deploy in your own cloud tenancy with full network isolation. Leverage your existing cloud credits, security groups, and compliance certifications.
- **On-premise data center** — Run on bare metal or VMware in your own facility. No internet dependency required — the platform operates fully offline after initial setup.
- **GovCloud & IL4/IL5** — Purpose-built for federal and state agencies. NIST 800-53 controls, FedRAMP-aligned architecture, PIV/CAC authentication, and complete audit trails.
- **Air-gapped environments** — Fully disconnected operation for classified or highly sensitive workloads. Self-hosted LLMs, no external API calls, no telemetry.
