Hosting and deployment
Cloud, dedicated instance or on-premise: your infrastructure, maintained and secured
K.IOP runs where your requirements say it should: on our cloud hosted in France, on an instance reserved for your organisation, or in your own infrastructure. On a dedicated instance, our team monitors, maintains and tests your infrastructure every month, as part of the subscription.
Included on a dedicated instance
- Continuous infrastructure monitoring
- A penetration test every six months
- A scored security report
- Installation and training for your teams
- The AI model of your choice, hosted at your site if needed
- AI switched off in one click for the whole organisation
- Security patches and updates applied by our team
Three ways to deploy K.IOP
The platform is the same in all three: the same connectors, the same data quality, the same dashboards and workflows. Only where it runs changes.
-
To get started
Shared cloud
Your organisation gets an isolated space on the K.IOP platform, hosted in France. The account takes minutes to create, and maintenance and updates are included. Free, Pro and Business plans.

Dedicated infrastructure
Instance dedicated to your organisation
A K.IOP platform reserved for your organisation, hosted in the country of your choice: dedicated servers, database and backups, replicated across several hosting providers. We install it, monitor it and maintain it.

On your premises
On-premise
K.IOP installed in your data centre or private cloud: your data never leaves your infrastructure. We install the platform and keep it up to date. Monitoring, penetration tests and a security report are available as options, in line with your security policy.

Which infrastructure for which data
The right deployment mode depends on how sensitive your data is and on the rules that apply to it.
-
Everyday data
Shared cloud
Operations, purchasing, stock, activity tracking: operational data with no particular location constraint. The shared cloud, hosted in France, is enough and is ready at once.
-
Sensitive or regulated data
Instance dedicated to your organisation
Human resources, finance, customer data, or a duty to keep data in a given country: a dedicated instance, hosted in the country of your choice, isolates your data and its infrastructure.
-
Critical data
On-premise
Strategic or classified data, or a policy that forbids anything leaving your information system: K.IOP is installed at your site, with browser-side encryption for the most sensitive fields.
Securing your infrastructure is part of the subscription
On a dedicated instance, you do not need a team of your own to run K.IOP. Every month, our team spends time looking after your infrastructure: monitoring, patches, security tests and a report.
What our team does for your infrastructure
On a dedicated instance, all of this is part of the subscription. On-premise, your infrastructure stays with your team: we keep K.IOP up to date, and you pick the services you need from this list.
-
Continuous monitoring
Servers, database, services and certificates are monitored continuously with Zabbix. Any anomaly raises an alert, and our team steps in during business hours.
-
A penetration test every six months
Every six months, our team tests your instance the way an attacker would. The vulnerabilities found are fixed, and the results go into your security report.
-
A scored security report
You receive a report that scores the security of your infrastructure and details the patches applied, the test results and the actions taken. A document ready to hand to your CISO or an auditor.
-
Patches and updates
Operating system, database and platform are kept up to date. Security patches are applied, and every new version of K.IOP is deployed to your instance.
-
Real-time replication
The database is replicated in real time to servers at several hosting providers.
-
Backups and retention
Replication keeps the service running, backups let you go back in time. They are kept on the servers of your instance, replicated across several hosting providers: your backups never leave your perimeter. They are kept for 30 days, a period you can adjust to your needs.
Performance, the third criterion
Beyond confidentiality, a dedicated infrastructure gives your processing power of its own.
-
Reserved resources
On a dedicated instance, processors, memory and storage serve your organisation only. Other customers' processing has no effect on your response times.
-
Sized for your volumes
The infrastructure is calibrated at scoping for your volumes and processing. When they grow, we add power with you.
-
Close to your users
Hosted in the country of your choice, the instance sits as close as possible to your teams and your data sources.
The AI model, where you decide
Cleaning, rules and calculations run without a language model. For the assistant and the AI steps of workflows, you choose the model and where it runs.
-
Included
The model that comes with your plan
A market model, Claude today, ready to use and included in your subscription. Your data is never used to train it.
-
Your contract
Your own LLM, connected
Already using a market model or an in-house LLM? K.IOP connects to it with your key, and the calls run under your contract and your usage rules.
-
Nothing leaves
A hosted open-source LLM
On your dedicated instance or at your site, we install an open-source model and size the infrastructure to run it. Your data is sent to no AI provider.
-
Your call
No AI at all
AI can be switched off for the whole organisation. Connectors, data quality, dashboards and workflows work without it.

How a dedicated or on-premise deployment works
-
Scoping
Volumes, data sources, your CISO's requirements, hosting location: we size the infrastructure with you.
-
Installation
We install the infrastructure and the platform, set up monitoring and connect your first sources.
-
Training
Your teams are trained on K.IOP: connectors, data quality, dashboards and workflows.
-
Monthly care
On a dedicated instance, our team looks after your infrastructure every month, tests its security every six months and sends you the report. On-premise, this care is available as an option.
A fixed subscription, set at scoping
The price of a dedicated instance or an on-premise installation is set with you at scoping. It stays fixed from day to day, and we review it together when your needs grow.
-
At the start
Set-up
Installing the infrastructure, configuring the platform, connecting your sources and training your teams.
-
Every month
Fixed subscription
On a dedicated instance: the platform, hosting, infrastructure care, patches, penetration tests and the security report. On-premise: the platform and its updates, plus the care services you choose.
-
No surprises
Your volumes included
The infrastructure is sized for your volumes from day one, and the subscription does not vary with the number of rows processed. More power, new sources or new services: we review the sizing with you.
Prepare your meeting
If you wish, describe your needs: we size a first proposal to prepare your meeting with an expert. Only your contact details and a few words about your project are required.
Frequently asked questions
In which country is my data hosted?
On the shared cloud, in France. A dedicated instance is hosted in the country you choose, with established hosting providers in that country, replicated across several of them. On-premise, your data stays in your own infrastructure.
How do you work on an on-premise installation?
Through a secure remote access that you open and can close at any time. We use it to update K.IOP and, if you have chosen them, for monitoring and security tests. Your team keeps control of the infrastructure.
What is in the security report?
A security score for your infrastructure, the patches applied over the period, the results of the latest penetration test and the actions taken or planned. It is written to be handed to your CISO or an auditor.
What happens if there is an incident?
Monitoring runs continuously and raises an alert as soon as an indicator leaves its normal range. Our team steps in during business hours, and response times are set in your contract.
Can we start on the shared cloud and move to a dedicated instance later?
Yes. Start on the shared cloud, with a free account or a paid plan, and we migrate your organisation to a dedicated instance or on-premise when your volumes or security requirements call for it.
