Product · Deployment

Cloud, on-premise or edge. Same architecture.

Meddle runs in a European cloud, inside your own data centre, or at the edge next to the machines. The architecture does not change: only the place it executes does.

Connectivity and access

How it is reached, securely.

  • Managed VPN

    Remote connectivity to plant equipment over a managed VPN, with a private, dedicated VPN available where it is needed.

  • Endpoint and SSO

    A custom DNS endpoint and SSO authentication, to line up with the access management you already run.

  • Outbound only

    The field agent opens outbound connections: no port exposed towards the OT network, compatible with DMZ and segmentation.

The three topologies

Where it executes.

  • Cloud. No upfront infrastructure cost, automatic updates, remote access and scalability. It is the shortest path for an SME.
  • On-premise. A local instance in your own data centre: complete data sovereignty, minimal latency and independence from internet connectivity.
  • Hybrid. Edge processing for time-critical data, cloud for long-term history, analytics and model training. Supported natively.
Frequently asked questions

The rest, in short.

  • Can I install it on-premise?

    Yes. Meddle can run in your own data centre or in a European cloud. The architecture is the same, only the place it executes changes.

  • We are air-gapped, the network does not leave the plant.

    That is fine. Meddle runs on-premise or at the edge, reading from the PLCs. No data leaves the plant.

  • Can I change topology later?

    Yes. The architecture does not change across the three options, so you move between them without redoing the integrations.

  • Do I need hardware to start?

    No. The pilot starts with no extra hardware: connectivity to most PLCs is software.

Which perimeter do you need?

We weigh cloud, on-premise and hybrid against your real constraint, before any commitment.
