01 On-premise

Your infrastructure. Our operations.

When data must not leave the building, AI comes to you: we install gateway, apps and models in your data centre and keep running them there.

  • Runs entirely in your data centre
  • Local AI models on your own hardware
  • Same endpoint as in the cloud
  • Combinable with models from the EU cloud
Your apps & agents Open WebUI · n8n · …
Your gateway /v1
On-premise Local models in-house
EU cloud Models out of the box

Sensitive cases local, everything else optionally in the EU cloud

02 Local AI models

Local models, deployed and maintained.

From the right GPU hardware to the next model update: we bring open-weight models into your building and keep them running.

  1. 01

    Plan & size

    We choose models and hardware to fit your use cases, user numbers and budget.

  2. 02

    Install

    Kubernetes, gateway, models and apps: we set everything up in your data centre and connect it to your systems.

  3. 03

    Run & update

    Monitoring, updates and new models as soon as they are better or more efficient. Without you having to evaluate them yourselves.

For example models from

  • Mistral AI
  • Swiss AI
  • Qwen (Alibaba)
  • Meta
  • Google DeepMind
  • OpenAI
  • DeepSeek
Local AI hardware AI Box & AI Powerhouse Preconfigured hardware for local models, maintained by us: the compact AI Box with NVIDIA GB10 from €5,900 and the AI Powerhouse with up to four RTX PRO 6000. See local AI hardware

03 Deployment options

Operated where your data belongs.

Same platform, same endpoint, same operations. You only decide where it runs, and you can switch later.

I

On-premise

Your hardware, your building

For especially sensitive data: gateway, apps and local models on your own hardware on site. We help choose and size it, and we run the system.

  • Data stays in-house
  • Local models
II

Your cloud

In your environment, operated by us

Gateway and applications run in your cloud account or data centre. You keep contracts and network rules, we keep things running.

  • Your contracts
  • Your network rules

apertus.ai Cloud

EU, ISO 27001 certified

Your dedicated gateway runs in our European cloud, exclusively in ISO 27001 certified data centres. The fastest start.

  • Fastest start
  • Dedicated

04 Included in operations

Everything that really takes work after go-live.

Monitoring & alerting

We watch availability, latency and errors and react before your users notice.

Updates & patches

Platform, components and dependencies stay current, including security updates.

New models

We test new models and enable them. You benefit without evaluating them yourselves.

Backups & recovery

Configuration and application data are backed up and can be restored.

Security & access

Hardening, access control and logging to a clear, documented standard.

Support from the team

You talk directly to the people who build and run the system, in German or English.

05 On-premise

Models and your databases: securely connected, inside your network.

When apertus.ai runs on your premises, the MCP gateway connects local models directly to your internal databases, ERP, DMS and file shares. Every access goes through permissions and the audit log, and no request ever leaves your network.

  • Models, gateway and data in the same network: nothing leaves
  • Permissions per data source, tool and team
  • Every access traceable in the audit log
