On-premises deployment for sites whose data cannot leave.
Aqueduct can run inside your own network for agencies, utilities and operators whose operational data must stay there. The products are the same as in the cloud; only where the data lives changes.
When cloud is not an option.
Policy keeps data at home
Public agencies and utilities often have residency rules for operational data.
Control networks are isolated
Water and power networks keep control systems off the public internet, so analytics have to sit beside them.
Reviews outlast pilots
A local deployment can be easier to approve than a new cloud service.
Cloud or on premises.
| Cloud | On premises | |
|---|---|---|
| Where data is stored | Our cloud environment | Your servers |
| Who runs it | We do | Your IT team or a partner, with our support |
| Where AI runs | In the cloud | On your own servers on site |
| Typical fit | Most portfolios | Utilities, government and regulated operators |

Water, energy, air and maintenance products, the digital twins and the assistant run the same way, and devices still connect over LoRaWAN, Modbus and BACnet. Certifications and control safeguards are covered on the trust and security page.
Cloud or on premises. Your systems, your partners.
On-prem AI
Run Aqueduct on premises, on your own servers, for data that cannot leave the site.
Integrates with your CMMS
Work orders stay in the tools your teams already use. Aqueduct routes the ticket and the fix.
Auditable control
Command history shows what was sent and whether it executed. Nothing changes without owner approval.
Installed by partners
We do not sell hardware as our core business. Installation runs through partners.

Common questions
Your IT team or an installation partner supplies the servers, to a specification agreed with Milvian AI. The deployment is then run by your team or the partner, with Milvian AI support, while the data and the AI stay on your own network.
No. Every command still waits for owner approval and lands in the same audit trail, so an on-premises site is reviewed exactly the way a cloud site is. Moving the platform onto local servers changes where records are kept, not who signs off.
Many utilities keep SCADA and plant networks off the public internet, so any analysis has to sit next to them. Running Aqueduct locally also lets a security review cover equipment the utility already controls, which is often a quicker approval path. See trust and security.
