# Infrastructure Requirements for Private Cloud Deployment

For **Large Enterprise customers**, K-LINK offers flexible deployment options on GCP, AWS, or customer-managed private cloud environments.

We support:

* **Local Compliance**: Data residency alignment (PDPA, GDPR, HIPAA, etc.)
* **High Availability**: Multi-zone deployment, database replication, and failover
* **Data Security**: End-to-end encryption, daily backups, and 30-day retention
* **Private Cloud Ready**: On-premise/VPC deployment with zero external dependencies
* **Enterprise Integrations**: SSO, private networking, and secure configuration options

This deployment model is tailored for enterprise clients with strict regulatory, infrastructure, and security requirements.

Our team works closely with your IT to ensure a smooth and secure setup from infra to production

To ensure optimal performance, scalability, and reliability, we recommend deploying the klink.cloud platform on **Google Cloud Platform (GCP)** or **Amazon Web Services (AWS)**. However, klink.cloud also supports deployment in customer-managed **private cloud environments**, provided the following minimum infrastructure specifications are met.

***

#### ☁️ Preferred Private Cloud Environments

* **Recommended**:
  * Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
  * Amazon Web Services (AWS)
* **Supported**:
  * Customer’s Private Cloud (VMware, OpenStack, Bare Metal, or any CNCF-compliant Kubernetes setup)
