The Gap

Some environments can't allow collaboration to leave the network.

Classified systems, OT environments, and other restricted networks can't rely on cloud collaboration. The platform itself has to run inside your environment, with no outbound connectivity unless you explicitly allow it.

Cloud-first isn't an option

Most collaboration platforms depend on internet connectivity and external services. They can't operate on networks that prohibit outbound connections.

Teams still need modern collaboration

Without an approved platform, people fall back to disconnected tools and manual processes that slow coordination and reduce visibility.

Control has to extend to the platform

It's not enough to keep your data on-premises. Messaging, calls, files, identities, and audit logs must remain inside your network, with external services enabled only when you choose.

The Solution: CometChat AIR

Air-gapped by default

CometChat AIR keeps messaging, channels, calls, files, identities, and audit logs entirely inside your environment. The core never reaches the internet, while AI, moderation, translation, and other external services remain optional.

Trusted Infrastructure

How It Works

The whole stack lives behind the air gap.

AIR deploys entirely inside your isolated environment, messaging, voice, video, storage, and AI all run locally, with no outbound internet required and no external service dependencies to phone home to.

The whole stack lives behind the air gap.

Deploy inside your environment

Install CometChat AIR on your bare metal servers, virtual machines, Docker/Kubernetes clusters, or private cloud. Everything runs inside your network boundary, including in air-gapped environments.

Operate independently

The platform functions without internet access. All messaging, calling, files, and core services stay inside your enclave, with no dependency on external services.

Control everything

You decide who can access the deployment, where data resides, and when updates are installed. Nothing changes unless you authorize it.

  • HIPAA-grade messaging for hospitals and clinics; coordination that stays inside the walls.

Deploy Your Way

Your environment, your rules

One messenger, three ways to run it: Start fully sealed and open up only if and when you need to

Air-gapped

On-prem / self-hosted with no outbound connectivity. The whole messenger lives inside your network, ideal for classified, clinical and regulated environments.

On-prem, connected

Self-hosted, with selected services allowed to reach approved external systems, you control exactly which, and to where.

Cloud-hosted

Prefer we run it? Deploy the same messenger on CometChat's managed cloud and roll out in days, not quarters, at a price an order of magnitude below anything else on the market.
