Yes. Many clients use Azure GDPR for sensitive workloads and cloud APIs for non-sensitive tasks. Our orchestration layer routes queries to the right backend automatically based on data classification rules you define.
Cloud API setups can be live in 2-3 days. Azure GDPR deployments typically take 1-2 weeks including DPA setup. On-premises deployments take 2-4 weeks depending on hardware readiness and network configuration.
No. Ironum handles deployment, configuration, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. We provide training for your team to manage day-to-day operations, but we remain available for support and updates.
Yes. Our modular architecture means you can start with cloud APIs and migrate to Azure GDPR or on-premises as your requirements evolve. We handle the migration with zero downtime.
Cloud APIs typically have 200-500ms response times. Azure GDPR is comparable. On-premises deployments can achieve sub-100ms latency for local models, making them ideal for real-time applications.
