Flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness are driving cloud adoption at speed. But for many enterprises – especially those handling sensitive, high-risk data – the cloud isn’t a universal answer.
On-premise data management solutions still play a critical role in protecting mission-critical metadata, ensuring compliance, and maintaining control. At Alex Solutions, we believe that choice and control matter more than ever.
What is Our On-Premise Offering?
Alex Solutions’ On-Premise Deployment enables your organization to install the full Alex Platform – including our metadata management application and intelligent connectors – within your own IT infrastructure.
With no metadata leaving your environment, you gain complete control over access, visibility, configuration, and compliance. From ingestion and lineage to governance and reporting, it’s your metadata, your rules – fully secured behind your firewall.
Our on-premise deployment includes:
-
Alex Application installed within your enterprise infrastructure
-
Alex Intelligent Connectors running within your network
-
Full support for hybrid and offline environments
-
Modular architecture for scalability and custom integrations
Why Alex?
Alex Solutions is equally powerful on-premise and in the cloud. Built to enterprise-grade standards, our platform is designed for:
-
1. Sensitive Data Handling
Organizations in finance, government, healthcare, and defense often handle critical and classified information. Our on-premise deployment ensures your metadata never leaves your environment—minimizing exposure.
-
2. Compliance by Design
From GDPR to HIPAA and APRA to CCPA, our platform supports sector-specific regulatory compliance requirements through auditability, access controls, retention policies, and localization.
-
3. Performance and Customization
No cloud-based latency. No shared tenancy. Run Alex at enterprise speed, with the ability to tailor models, workflows, and business rules to your own logic.
-
4. Enterprise-Ready, Without Compromise
Whether you’re integrating with legacy systems, managing unique governance frameworks, or working across national borders, Alex flexes to your needs.
These challenges make it difficult to trace transactions, conduct investigations, and demonstrate compliance.
The rise of AI in AML compounds the problem. When AI models are trained on ungoverned or poor-quality data and without appropriate context, the results can be inaccurate or biased, putting institutions at risk.
Why Now?
Rising Regulatory Pressure: Jurisdictions are tightening data residency and localization laws. From the EU to APAC, regulators want proof that your metadata is stored and managed within your borders.
Evolving Threat Landscape: Cyber threats are increasing in sophistication. Many CISOs now view on-premise setups as a necessary layer of defense.
Cloud Isn’t Always Cheaper: For enterprises with stable infrastructure and high-throughput requirements, the TCO of on-prem can actually be lower than long-term cloud costs.
Demand for Autonomy: Boards, compliance officers, and IT leaders are demanding more visibility and control – not less. On-premise delivers accountability, auditability, and configurability.
FAQs:
-
Can I run Alex in a hybrid model?
Yes. Alex is modular and supports hybrid architectures, allowing some functions to run in the cloud while others remain on-premise.
-
What are the infrastructure requirements?
We provide technical documentation during pre-sales and work closely with your IT team to scope compute, storage, and security requirements.
-
Is there a performance trade-off?
Quite the opposite. On-premise deployments benefit from low latency, direct access, and no reliance on external bandwidth.
-
How is support handled for on-premise clients?
Alex Solutions provides the same high-touch support experience across all deployment models, including real-time diagnostics, scheduled upgrades, and dedicated account managers.
-
How secure is the Alex on-prem setup?
Our platform integrates with your internal security frameworks, including SSO, role-based access controls, firewalls, and audit trails. You control all access and data flow.
