Requirements
Linux host, container runtime, network access to your storage, and an identity provider. No GPU required for retrieval; a local model needs its own sizing.
Documentation
Read everything before you talk to us.
Architecture, deployment, connectors and the permission model are all public and ungated. You should not have to fill in a form to find out whether a product fits your environment.
Quickstart
From nothing to a cited answer
A proof-of-concept stands up with a single command on your own infrastructure, or one click on the Azure Marketplace.
# 1. Stand up K-Lake on your own host zegress up --license ./zegress.lic # 2. Connect a source, in place. Nothing is copied. zegress source add smb://fileserver01/legal --name legal-share # 3. Point your assistant at it over MCP zegress mcp url → https://zegress.internal:8443/mcp
Illustrative. Exact commands and flags are in the deployment guide, which is versioned alongside each release.
What it does not need
No migration, no re-permissioning, no outbound internet, and no agent on user devices.

Getting started
What K-Lake is, the concepts everything else builds on, a quick start from sign-in to a cited answer, the one-command proof of concept, and how to size a real deployment.

AI & MCP
Serving your content to an assistant over the Model Context Protocol, with per-user permission trimming and a citation on every answer — including with the internet disconnected.

Security
The trust model for a security reviewer: row-level security as the enforcement point, per-file trimming, identity correlation, encryption, audit and supply chain.
Licensing
How offline licensing works without a call-home, what happens at expiry, and managing licence keys across environments.

Availability
Getting started and Security are published in full. Using K-Lake, AI & MCP and Licensing are being written and publish next. If you are evaluating now and need one of those early, ask and we will send it. Install packages, licence keys and offline update bundles are distributed through the customer portal to named contacts.
