Mindbreeze InSpire’s cloud-native architecture combines enterprise-grade security, an open architecture and flexible deployment options to fit seamlessly into your existing IT landscape, without compromising on governance, compliance or control.

In short
Mindbreeze InSpire runs in the cloud, as a hybrid model, or on premises. In the cloud it is available as Mindbreeze InSpire SaaS and via Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud and Oracle Cloud. On premises it comes ready to use as an appliance box that is securely integrated into your data center. The hybrid model indexes on-premises and cloud data in one common search index. In every model, Mindbreeze inherits and enforces existing permissions for every query. SoftAdvice, the Mindbreeze partner in the Benelux, designs the data foundation, connects the sources and builds the first use cases with your team.
Cloud, hybrid or on premises
Cloud deployment
Recommended for companies that already use cloud solutions to handle a broad range of data. Mindbreeze InSpire indexes the data directly from cloud applications such as Salesforce, ServiceNow or Office 365, processes the information, and consolidates it into a search index. It scales without additional hardware or software.

- Amazon Web Services (AWS Marketplace)
- Microsoft Azure (Azure Marketplace)
- Google Cloud (Google Cloud Marketplace)
- Oracle Cloud (Oracle Cloud Marketplace)

Hybrid model
Whether your data is in the cloud or on site, Mindbreeze indexes both. An appliance consumes and analyzes the data from on-premises applications, while data from cloud services is indexed directly from the cloud. Users search both with a single query, thanks to the common hybrid search index.
On-premises appliance
Mindbreeze InSpire comes ready to use as an appliance box that is securely integrated into your data center. It provides a fast and secure solution without the need for cloud connectivity, and the highest level of privacy and data security.
- No cloud connectivity needed
- Deployed within your own infrastructure
- GPU-ready, delivered without pre-installed GPUs

Permissions enforced for every query
Mindbreeze inherits and enforces existing enterprise permissions for every query, ensuring only authorized data is surfaced. It enforces document-, entity-, and field-level permissions, so GenAI outputs comply with all underlying security models.
