Cloud Convenience. On-Premises Control.
IntelliPaaS Hybrid gives you the best of both worlds. Design and manage integrations from a cloud-based interface while keeping all data processing within your network perimeter. Sensitive data never leaves your infrastructure – but your team gets the speed and simplicity of cloud-based tooling.
Hybrid integration combines a cloud-based management interface with on-premises data processing. IntelliPaaS Hybrid lets you design, deploy and monitor integrations from a browser while lightweight runtime agents process all data within your network perimeter. Business data never leaves your infrastructure – only metadata and status telemetry reach the cloud control plane. This model suits organisations running a mix of cloud SaaS and on-premises systems.
Key Capabilities:
- Cloud-based control plane for integration design, monitoring and management
- On-premises runtime agents that process data within your network perimeter
- No inbound firewall rules required – agents initiate all connections outbound
- Data never leaves your infrastructure – only metadata and status telemetry reach the cloud
- Connect cloud SaaS applications to on-premises ERP, databases and legacy systems
- Centralised monitoring across cloud and on-premises integrations from a single dashboard
- Scale runtime agents independently based on workload and geography
How Hybrid Deployment Works
The IntelliPaaS cloud platform hosts the design studio, connector library, monitoring dashboards and orchestration engine. You build integrations in the browser just as you would with a pure cloud deployment.
The difference is where data processing happens. Lightweight runtime agents are deployed within your network – in your data centre, private cloud or specific geographic locations. These agents execute the integration logic locally: they pull data from source systems, apply transformations and push results to target systems. All data processing stays within your perimeter.
The agents communicate with the cloud control plane over encrypted outbound connections. They send status updates, error reports and performance metrics – but never the actual business data. This means your IT team does not need to open inbound firewall ports or create complex network rules.
When Hybrid is the Right Choice
- You run a mix of cloud SaaS and on-premises systems (the most common enterprise scenario)
- Compliance requires data to stay within your network but you want cloud-based management
- Your team needs to connect legacy systems (SAP, Oracle, mainframes) to modern cloud applications
- You want centralised visibility across all integrations regardless of where they run
- Multiple geographic locations need local data processing with central oversight
Other Deployment Options
Hybrid is the most common enterprise deployment model, but IntelliPaaS supports the full spectrum:
- Cloud iPaaS – Fully managed, zero infrastructure, ideal for cloud-first organisations
- On-Premises iPaaS – Full platform within your data centre, no cloud dependency at all
- Air-Gapped Integration – Fully isolated deployment with zero internet connectivity
Hybrid deployments are most commonly used to sync cloud CRM with on-premises ERP, process data locally across multiple regions, modernise legacy systems, meet regulated industry compliance requirements and support phased cloud migrations – all managed from a single cloud-based console.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does any business data reach the cloud in a hybrid deployment?
No. Only metadata and status telemetry (transaction counts, error rates, performance metrics) reach the cloud control plane. All business data is processed entirely within your network by the local runtime agents.
How many runtime agents can I deploy?
There is no limit. Deploy agents across multiple data centres, geographic regions and network segments. Each agent operates independently and reports to the central cloud console.
What are the infrastructure requirements for runtime agents?
Agents run as lightweight containers on any Docker or Kubernetes-compatible infrastructure. Minimum requirements are modest – 2 vCPU, 4GB RAM for standard workloads. Scale up for high-throughput scenarios.
Can I move from hybrid to fully on-premises?
Yes. Integration configurations are portable. If your requirements change, the on-premises deployment includes the full design studio and monitoring – no cloud dependency at all.
How are runtime agents updated?
Agent updates are pushed from the cloud control plane and applied on your schedule. You approve each update before deployment. Rollback is supported if an update causes issues.
