Key Features:
- 100% of components run in your environment
- Zero data leaves your network, including metrics
- Complete network isolation possible
- Compatible with air-gapped environments
- Custom support structure tailored to your security protocols
Use Cases:
- Financial institutions handling sensitive financial data
- Healthcare organizations with strict PHI requirements

All enterprise deployment options include comprehensive security features such as SOC2, ISO27001, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance certifications, PII anonymization, custom data retention policies, and encryption at rest and in transit.
2. Production Gateway Deployments
Only relevant for Hybrid and Air-gapped deployments.
This lever allows you to align costs with the breadth of your implementation.
Your base enterprise license includes one (1) production gateway deployment. You can add more licenses for additional deployments, such as for different business units, cloud providers, or geographic regions.
Scenario | Licences required |
---|---|
Single cloud / single region | 1 |
Multi‑cloud (AWS + Azure) | 2 |
Separate BU with own budgets | 1 per BU |
Disaster‑recovery region hot‑standby | 1 (counts as production) |
Unlimited dev/staging gateways are always included at no cost. You can also scale up or out — unlimited horizontal and vertical scaling is available for every deployment.
Additional Production Deployments: Each additional production gateway is charged separately
What Qualifies as a Separate Production Deployment?
What Qualifies as a Separate Production Deployment?
• Multi-cloud deployments (AWS + Azure + GCP)
• Geographic distribution (US + EU + APAC)
• Isolated business unit deployments
• Dedicated customer environments
Development & Staging Environments
Development & Staging Environments
• Unlimited dev/staging gateways on each license
• No additional charges for non-production use
• Full feature parity with production
3. Gateway Request Volume
This lever applies to SaaS and Hybrid deployments only. Airgapped deployments have unlimited, unmetered usage.
Included Monthly Usage
All SaaS and Hybrid contracts include a generous baseline of monthly requests, custom-tailored to your organization’s needs and projected volume.
Predictable Overage Pricing
If you exceed your included tier, additional requests are billed at a transparent, pre-negotiated rate. No hidden fees or surprise spikes.
Scales With Your Adoption
Pricing grows with your actual AI usage. As your LLM adoption increases, enjoy volume discounts and pay only for what you use.
Unlimited for Airgapped
On fully airgapped deployments, Portkey does not meter or charge for requests—run as many as you need with zero usage-based costs.
