Hybrid integration without compromise

Frends Hybrid Integration enables organizations to execute integration processes anywhere: on-premises, in the cloud, or across both — all managed from a single control plane. Designed for regulated and complex IT environments, it ensures data sovereignty, security and performance without compromise.

Navigating the complexities of modern IT

Enterprises today operate in a fragmented IT landscape. Data and applications are spread across on-premises systems, private clouds and modern SaaS platforms. Each has its own security, compliance, and connectivity requirements, making integration increasingly complex and costly. 

Data sovereignty and compliance

Industries such as finance, healthcare, and the public sector must comply with strict data residency laws (like GDPR) that define where data can be stored and processed. For many, sending sensitive data to the public cloud is not an option. 

Security and connectivity risks

Connecting cloud applications directly to on-premises systems can expose internal networks and create vulnerabilities. Firewalls, VPNs and complex topologies often lead to “integration gridlock.” 

Latency and performance

Large data transfers and real-time integrations between cloud and local systems can create significant latency and reduce reliability. 

Legacy systems without APIs

Many core systems, such as ERPs or mainframes, lack modern API interfaces, making them difficult to connect with cloud-based solutions through traditional iPaaS platforms.

The flexibility you need for hybrid environments 

The flexibility you need for hybrid environments Frends is built for true hybrid flexibility, with a distributed architecture that runs every process where it makes the most sense: close to the data. Sensitive data never leaves your network, delivering a secure, compliant and fully transparent hybrid integration layer. 

Unified control plane

Design, manage, and monitor all integrations from a single visual interface. The Frends Control Plane is securely hosted in the EU cloud but can also be fully deployed on-premises for organizations with strict governance or data residency requirements.

Distributed execution with Frends Agents

Lightweight runtime engines, Frends Agents, execute integrations wherever your systems reside. Deploy them on-premises to connect internal databases and legacy systems, in private or public clouds for SaaS integrations, or in containers (Docker/Kubernetes) for scalability and automation.

Secure by design

Frends’ distributed model keeps sensitive data within your own network. Agents process data locally and communicate securely with the Control Plane using encrypted channels, ensuring compliance, visibility and control across hybrid environments.

Key capabilities

Modernizing legacy systems

Frends connects legacy on-premises systems with modern cloud applications, securely and without exposing internal networks. An on-premises Agent can extract data from systems like SAP ERP, while a cloud-based Agent transfers it to platforms such as Salesforce, enabling modernization without disruption or risk. 

Ensuring regulatory compliance

With Frends, sensitive data never leaves your controlled environment. For example, a European bank processes and anonymizes customer data locally through an on-premises Agent, sending only aggregated insights to the cloud for analytics, ensuring full GDPR compliance. 

Real-time factory floor automation

Frends enables real-time data exchange between operational technology (OT) systems and cloud platforms. On-premises Agents connect directly to production machinery, triggering instant alerts and inventory updates in logistics systems with minimal latency. 

Secure public sector data exchange

Government agencies use Frends to securely connect and share sensitive data within controlled networks. An on-premises Agent accesses internal databases and exposes a secure API through the Frends API Gateway, ensuring that all processing happens inside the agency’s infrastructure while maintaining transparency and compliance.
