Positioning
We distribute the storage, server and data center hardware that lets platforms like NSOffice.AI actually run on-prem, and we bundle it with the multi-vendor pieces around it so you're not sourcing storage, compute and connectivity from five different places.
Pitches
IT product distribution (servers, storage, data center hardware)
You get sized, OEM-backed storage and server hardware to stand up the on-prem deployment you're promising customers who won't go to a private cloud. That means you can close data-residency-sensitive deals without building your own hardware sourcing relationships.
Solutions aggregation and orchestration
Instead of stitching storage, compute and networking together yourself, you get one partner-ready bundle matched to your RBAC, SSO and connector requirements. That cuts the time between a customer signing and the on-prem instance being live.
Tech Data Capital financing
Financing lets you fund the on-prem hardware without a big upfront capex hit while you're still scaling past 22 enterprise customers. That keeps your balance sheet light while you prove out the on-prem model.
Conversation arc
“Bhargav, given Tech Data's just been named preferred India distributor for NSOffice.AI, I wanted to talk through the on-prem storage piece you're planning directly.”
“Walk me through what 'on-prem' means for you here — is this for a specific customer's data center, or a reference deployment you're building out yourselves?”
“Rather than you sourcing storage, servers and connectivity separately, we can bundle those into one partner-ready solution sized to your RBAC and multi-system connector requirements.”
“I hear that committing to physical infrastructure feels like a big step for a 22-customer platform — that's exactly where financing can decouple the timing from the cash outlay.”
“Can we get 30 minutes with your infrastructure lead to size the storage config against your first on-prem deployment target?”
Ask these
- Q1When you say on-prem, which customer or deployment is driving that requirement first?
- Q2How are you thinking about storage sizing given you're already integrating with 15+ business systems like CRM, ERP and HRMS?
- Q3Do you see this on-prem build staying purely on-prem, or does it need to interconnect with cloud as you expand into APJ?
- Q4Given NSOffice.AI is still early-stage with a small customer base, is this on-prem instance for a single strategic account or a repeatable template?
Feasibility
FAQs
We market ourselves as 'no infrastructure to manage' via private cloud — going on-prem contradicts our own pitch to customers.
That's exactly why this needs to be positioned as an option for customers who demand it, not a replacement for your cloud story. We can size a minimal on-prem footprint so it's a controlled offering, not a full infrastructure business you now have to run.
We're too early-stage (22 customers) to commit capital to physical hardware right now.
That's what Tech Data Capital financing is built for — it decouples the timing of the hardware spend from your cash position. You can commit to the customer without a large upfront outlay.
