Managed Cloud AI

For self-hosted customers who want cloud AI without managing API keys. Included at no charge for SaaS deployments.

Self-Hosted Cloud AI Access

Self-hosted deployments default to local Ollama (your hardware) or BYOK cloud AI. If you prefer not to manage API credentials, we offer pooled, metered access to Gemini and OpenAI with usage-based billing. SaaS deployments include managed cloud AI at no additional charge — pooled, fast, GPU-backed responses without hardware investment.

Common Questions

?

Can I self-host NetDBA4U?

Yes. Self-hosted deployment places the portal, repository database, and optional local AI (Ollama) entirely inside your network. You can also use cloud AI with your own API keys (BYOK).

?

What happens after the 30-day trial?

After 30 days, you can upgrade to any paid tier. Your configuration, incidents, and historical data are preserved. We never delete data without explicit request.

?

Is there a SaaS option?

Yes. Our VPN-Tunnel SaaS hosts the portal while your databases stay on your infrastructure. Connect via WireGuard, IPsec, or OpenConnect. SaaS includes managed cloud AI at no extra charge.

?

Can I combine platform + services?

Absolutely. Most clients run the platform for autonomous monitoring and retain our DBAs for deep-dive tuning, migrations, and strategic projects. Retainer plans include the platform at no extra charge.
