When teams talk about Bring Your Own Cloud (BYOC) enablement, the conversation often gets conflated with tools that only address small slices of the problem. At first glance, platforms like Nuon might appear to help you “run in your customer’s environment,” but what they actually provide is far narrower. Nuon simplifies one operational leg — orchestrating Terraform and Helm charts within customer environments via their agent-based mechanism. That agent retrieves and deploys your configurations locally, which can be useful for a very specific deployment flow. But that’s where their focus stops and even thats limited to specific cloud environments (no GCP, OnPrem or OCI support)

“Security startups don’t have time or resources to reinvent cloud infrastructure. Omnistrate allowed us to run a scalable SaaS in weeks—not years—without experienced DevOps personnel on staff, so we could focus on what matters: securing our customers.” — Vinay Mamidi, CEO and Founder at Whiteswan Security"

In our previous post on BYOC, we discussed different approaches to SaaS distribution and specifically discussed BYOC model in detail.

However, many of our BYOC customers have the need to distribute their software on-premises, who are looking to retain full control and get assistance on an as-needed basis. Introducing OnPrem CoPilot, a way for your support team to automate their OnPrem operations.

Like BYOC, you deploy your application in the customers' account. Unlike BYOC though, your customers will retain the full control and whenever they need help — whether it’s for initial installation, software upgrades, security patches, infrastructure updates, troubleshooting support, etc.— they can connect securely and get help for specific operation(s). Once done, they can continue to have full control and continue to operate independently.

Applications are only as good as the data that powers them, and companies are putting more and more restrictions on where their proprietary data is accessible from. In 2025 we see these issues accelerating even faster, as companies will find even more reasons to not allow their proprietary data outside of their realm of control.

This means that new applications must be designed with data access in mind, and all new applications must have the ability to be deployed next to their customer’s data, in both physical location (data center) as well as realm of security control (cloud account ownership).
