# Overview

An On-Premise Integration allows DDOE to connect to storage systems that are hosted within your organization's own infrastructure rather than in a public cloud provider such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.

With On-Prem integrations, your data remains inside your controlled environment while DDOE accesses it through a configured storage driver. This approach is commonly used by organizations with strict security, compliance, or data residency requirements.

**Benefits of On-Prem Integrations**

- Data remains within your organization's network
- Supports private and air-gapped environments
- Helps meet security and compliance requirements
- Enables Direct Data access without copying datasets into DDOE
- Integrates with existing storage infrastructure

**Common On-Prem Storage Types in DDOE**

- NFS
- Host Path (FS)
- S3 API-compatible storage (such as Dell ECS)
