Superblocks Azure Cloud-Prem delivers the full power of Superblocks in a deployment model designed for organizations that require strict data residency, security controls, and infrastructure ownership. With Azure Cloud-Prem, Superblocks runs as a dedicated, single-tenant deployment inside your Microsoft Azure account. This gives customers direct control over networking, data boundaries, and compliance posture, while Superblocks continues to manage the platform lifecycle, upgrades, and reliability. The result is the trust and governance of customer-owned infrastructure—without the operational burden, slow iteration cycles, or complexity of traditional self-hosted deployments.

​
Azure single region architecture

In the single region deployment, the Control Plane and Data Plane run in the same Azure region.

​
Azure multi-region architecture

In a multi-region deployment, the Superblocks control plane runs in a single Azure Virtual Network (VNet) in one region, while each Azure region that hosts customer data runs a local data plane. Applications connect directly to the regional data plane closest to the data, ensuring low latency and regional isolation. All communication is outbound-only from the data plane, so customers are not required to allow inbound network access or open firewall ports. This architecture delivers regional performance, strong network isolation, and simplified security posture while supporting global deployments.

​
How it works

In the Superblocks Azure Cloud-Prem deployment model:
  • Superblocks is deployed as a dedicated, single-tenant instance within your Azure account
  • AI inference is executed on Azure OpenAI Service, using models and regions you control
  • Applications connect directly to the Superblocks data plane running in an Azure region colocated with your private data, minimizing latency and data movement
  • Your team authenticates using your enterprise SSO provider, with identity and access governed by your existing Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) and Azure RBAC policies
  • Superblocks operates and supports the platform as a fully managed service, adhering to least-privilege access and customer-defined boundaries
This model ensures that all application data, AI inputs, and AI outputs remain within your Azure environment, while Superblocks manages platform operations—including upgrades, security patches, reliability, and ongoing support—without requiring you to run or maintain the system yourself.

​
Why choose Cloud-Prem

Azure Cloud-Prem is best for enterprises requiring the highest level of compliance, security, and data residency. Customers in Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare & Life Sciences, Telecommunications, and Government often choose this deployment model because:
  • Azure data residency and isolation: All application data, AI prompts, and AI responses are processed and stored entirely within your Azure account and selected Azure regions.
  • Customer-managed AI inference on Azure AI: Clark performs inference using Azure AI Service in your Azure account, governed by your regional selection, model access controls, and service policies.
  • Enhanced observability and audit readiness: Increased visibility into platform activity enables integration with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and audit workflows to support compliance requirements.
  • Azure-native security and governance enforcement: Apply your existing Azure RBAC policies, VNet network controls, firewall rules, and governance guardrails directly to Superblocks.
  • Leverage Azure enterprise agreements: All infrastructure resources run in your Azure account and can count toward your existing Azure committed spend and enterprise agreements.

​
Managed service model

In Azure Cloud-Prem, Superblocks is responsible for:
  • Delivering regular platform updates and feature enhancements
  • Managing upgrades
  • Ensuring release compatibility, stability, and reliability
  • Providing operational support and incident response
All upgrades are planned, executed, and supported by Superblocks. This ensures Cloud-Prem environments remain secure, supported, and current, without requiring customers to plan, test, or operate upgrades themselves. Customers retain control over cloud-level access, security policies, deployment environments, and AI execution boundaries, while Superblocks manages the ongoing operation and lifecycle of the platform.
