Where is my data stored?

At Nira, we prioritize both the accessibility and the security of your 3D data. By default, data uploaded to Nira is stored globally across almost every continent.

However, we understand that certain projects, industries, or legal frameworks require strict data residency. For these cases, we offer Region Locking.

What is Region Locking?

Region Locking allows you to restrict your data to a specific geographical area—whether that is a continent, a country, or even a specific city.

While Nira still manages the infrastructure, this feature provides a high level of data sovereignty without the overhead and cost of a full on-premises deployment.

Why Nira Region Lock is Different

Most platforms that claim to offer "regional hosting" only do so for the final storage of the data. Often, the processing servers (where the heavy lifting of converting your files occurs) are located in a single global hub, meaning your data temporarily leaves your required region during upload.

Nira provides true region locking. Your data never touches a server or a network outside of your requested region—neither during processing nor during storage.

Key Considerations

• Global Granularity: We can narrow your data residency down to a single city, provided we can source an adequate datacenter within that specific location.

• Account-Wide Application: Currently, Region Locking is an "all or nothing" feature. It applies to every asset within a specific Nira account. If you have some assets that require region locking and others that do not, you will need to maintain separate accounts.

• Access vs. Residency: Region locking controls where the data lives, not who can see it. While Nira is ultra-secure, this feature does not automatically filter access by a viewer's geo-located IP address. If you grant a user access, they can view the data from anywhere in the world. For specific access control like Single Sign-On using an identity provider or IP based filtering please reach out with your specific requirements, and we can discuss the various options available.

• Pricing: Available only to Growth and Enterprise plans.

  • Standard upgrade pricing applies for regions within the U.S. and E.U.

  • Custom pricing for granular region lock within the U.S and E.U (specific datacenter or city).

  • Custom pricing for regions outside of U.S and E.U.
     

On-Premises Deployment

For organizations that require total control over their hardware environment, Nira can be deployed on-premises (self-hosted). This allows you to install Nira on your own facility's hardware or within a specific third-party cloud provider.

• Pricing: One-time deployment fee + $25 per user (400-user minimum).
