On-Premise Meeting AI: When Cloud Is Not an Option

On-Premise Meeting AI: When Cloud Is Not an Option

Not Everything Can Go to the Cloud

For most teams, cloud-hosted AI meeting tools work fine. But some organisations operate under constraints that make cloud processing a non-starter:

  • Government and defence: Classified or sensitive discussions that cannot leave controlled infrastructure
  • Healthcare: Patient data subject to strict localisation requirements
  • Financial services: Regulatory requirements for data sovereignty and on-premise processing
  • Legal: Privileged communications that must remain within the firm's infrastructure
  • Research: Proprietary or pre-patent discussions that demand physical data control

These organisations still need meeting intelligence. They just need it running on their own infrastructure.

What On-Premise Deployment Looks Like

Beaver AI offers on-premise deployment for organisations that require it. The entire system — processing, storage, and AI — runs within your own infrastructure. Nothing leaves your network.

Key characteristics:

  • Self-contained: All components run on your servers or private cloud
  • No external API calls: Meeting data is processed entirely within your environment
  • Your retention policies: You control how long data is stored and when it is purged
  • Your access controls: Integrates with your existing identity and access management

Who Chooses On-Premise

On-premise is not for everyone. It requires infrastructure, maintenance, and IT resources. Most teams are well served by the cloud-hosted version of Beaver AI, which already uses privacy-first architecture with no audio storage.

On-premise is the right choice when your compliance, legal, or security requirements explicitly mandate that meeting data must not leave your controlled environment. If you are unsure, the cloud-hosted version with its ephemeral audio architecture may already meet your requirements.

Getting Started

On-premise deployment is available for enterprise customers. Contact our team to discuss your requirements, infrastructure, and deployment timeline. We will work with your IT team to ensure a smooth setup.
