Cloud convenience, operational risk
Managed ETL tools process operational data on vendor infrastructure. SCADA telemetry and grid data crossing your OT boundary into systems you do not control.
ENERGY & INFRASTRUCTURE
Airbyte Enterprise Flex runs the data plane inside your OT/IT boundary. 700+ connectors, sovereign architecture, and zero data transit to vendor servers.

The challenge
Managed ETL tools process operational data on vendor infrastructure. SCADA telemetry and grid data crossing your OT boundary into systems you do not control.
Open-source connectors on-prem give you control, but your team owns uptime, upgrades, and connector maintenance.
SCADA, historian, ERP, and environmental data sit in separate systems. Stitching them into a unified operational view takes months, and the result is fragile.
Flex solves the tradeoff between convenience and control.
Sovereignty
A vendor contract is not a security boundary. Airbyte Enterprise Flex is. Your data plane runs inside your operational network, the control plane manages orchestration, and operational data never touches our servers.
No inbound firewall rules. The data plane initiates all communication.
Bring your own KMS. Airbyte never holds the keys to your operational data.
Pipeline executions, schema changes, and access events stream to your security tooling.
Deploy isolated data planes across regions for multi-jurisdiction utilities or global energy operations.
Use cases
Connect SCADA, historian, and ERP systems through 700+ connectors with the data plane inside your operational boundary. Bridge OT and enterprise analytics without creating a new attack surface.
Unify sensor telemetry, maintenance records, and supply chain data for condition-based maintenance. CDC keeps dashboards current as sensor data streams in.
Consolidate environmental, safety, and operational data into one warehouse for automated compliance reporting.
AI agents
Airbyte gives agents structured fetch and write access to operational systems, along with semantic search that is superior to keyword search, with the Context Store. Deployable in your warehouse of choice.
