XQual is available as a fully hosted Cloud service by default, but it can just as easily be installed On-Premise, on your own servers - reinforcing the security of your data when it's sensitive.
Both deployment models are fully featured and carry no extra licensing cost: the choice is entirely about where your data and infrastructure live, not about what XQual can do.

- Two fully-featured deployment models: Cloud (SaaS) or On-Premise,
- Same price, same features - no extra cost either way,
- Cloud: data centers on every continent, a 99.95% uptime SLA, GDPR-compliant hosting available in France,
- On-Premise: your infrastructure, your rules - your data never leaves your own network,
- Switch or migrate between the two at any time.
Cloud (SaaS)
Hosted, maintained, secured - ready in minutes- Data centers on every continent, meeting stringent availability and security standards
- A 99.95% uptime SLA, backed by redundant power, cooling and network connectivity
- Regular vulnerability audits and scans with recognized tools, continuous automated monitoring against an up-to-date CVE database
- Every software component (Linux, Java runtime - currently Java 17, Tomcat 9) kept up to date with proven, maintained, secure versions
- Each customer instance isolated behind dedicated firewalls - restrict inbound access by IP/subnet, control ports and protocols precisely
- Server access strictly via SSH key pairs managed through IAM policies - no password authentication; databases are never reachable from outside, only from the application instance itself
- Daily automated database backups, plus a weekly offsite copy to a second, physically distinct data center
- GDPR-compliant hosting available - can be hosted in a France-based, Paris-region data center
On-Premise
Your servers, your rules, full control- Your data never leaves your own network or country - full sovereignty for sensitive or regulated data
- Full control over exactly which XQual version is deployed and when it gets upgraded - no forced updates
- Full control over the surrounding infrastructure: hardware sizing, network topology, firewall rules, backup policy, disaster recovery - all defined by your own IT team
- Fits naturally into an existing security perimeter, SSO/LDAP directory, and change-management/audit processes
- No dependency on internet connectivity for day-to-day usage inside your network
- A natural fit for organizations under strict data-residency, defense or industrial confidentiality requirements
Cloud vs On-Premise
The comparison at a glance| Cloud (SaaS) | On-Premise | |
| Who it's for | Teams who want to get started immediately with zero infrastructure to manage, and organizations comfortable with data hosted in a professionally secured, audited cloud environment | Regulated industries (defense, aeronautics, finance, healthcare, public sector) and any organization whose security policy requires sensitive data to stay strictly inside its own perimeter |
| Cost | Free - included with every XQual license | Free - included with every XQual license (self-hosted on your own infrastructure) |
