Who it is for·Companies running Hermes agents on their own infrastructure (on-premise)
Self-host Hermes agents at scale on your own servers, on-premise, with Molted's managed control plane. Your data never leaves, and the runtime stays alive for you.
If you already run infrastructure, or your data cannot leave the building, self-hosting Hermes is the obvious path. Your servers run 24/7 anyway, so autonomous agents cost nothing extra in idle, and the data stays on your hardware. The catch is operations: keeping a fleet of agents alive, recovering and integrated, on your own infra, is a platform project. Molted's On-Premise model gives you the managed control plane on your servers, so you self-host Hermes without becoming the on-call team. It is the same control plane that runs OpenClaw, so the two runtimes deploy the same way on your metal.
01The reality today
On your own servers, every Hermes failure is your team's problem: silent crashes, corrupted configs, version updates that break setups, recovery. Doing that for one agent is work. For a fleet, around the clock, it is a permanent on-call rotation.
Your servers and compliance are sorted, but a server is not an agent runtime. It will not keep Hermes alive, version its state, ship integrations, or stop a node from running out of memory when agents spike. Building that layer in-house is months of work unrelated to your product.
Because your infrastructure already runs continuously, the usual cost objection to autonomous agents disappears, there is no extra idle bill. The real blocker is keeping the agents alive, integrated and recoverable on your own hardware.

02How Molted helps
01
Molted On-Premise runs on your infrastructure: the same self-healing runtime, bare pods that never crashloop, a daemon that survives Hermes dying, auto-repair for corrupted configs, and a RAM semaphore for safe density. You self-host; Molted operates the control plane. No on-call for the runtime.
02
Agents, state and credentials stay on your hardware. Run fully on-premise, air-gapped if you need it, or on a dedicated Swiss cluster for data sovereignty. Credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest, and nothing has to round-trip to a third-party cloud.
03
Your servers run 24/7 regardless, so always-on agents add no marginal idle cost. You get the runtime model, general-purpose agents that stay available and act on their own, without a cloud bill on top.
04
1,500+ integrations through a managed layer, a versioned filesystem with point-in-time restore that hot-reloads the running instance, and safe high density, all on your own infrastructure. Pin a different Hermes version per agent and roll forward independently, on any AI provider.
03FAQ
Yes. Molted's On-Premise model runs the managed control plane on your own infrastructure, so you self-host Hermes with self-healing, integrations and versioning, without operating the runtime yourself. It is the same control plane that runs OpenClaw.
No. On-premise, agents, state and credentials stay on your hardware, and it can run air-gapped. There is also a Swiss cluster option for data sovereignty. Credentials are AES-256-GCM encrypted at rest.
No. That is the point of the managed control plane: Molted handles recovery, density and the runtime operations on your servers, so your team does not become the on-call rotation.
No. Your infrastructure already runs continuously, so always-on agents add no extra idle cost. You get persistent agents without a cloud bill.
Yes. The control plane is runtime-agnostic, so OpenClaw and Hermes run side by side on the same on-premise cluster, each with its own pinned version, isolation and integrations, all managed the same way.
Yes. Molted is an on-premise AI agent platform: it runs the managed control plane on your own Kubernetes infrastructure, so Hermes agents, state and credentials stay in-house for compliance, air-gapped if needed, with a Swiss cluster option for data sovereignty.
That is the Molted on-premise model: a managed control plane and dashboard for self-hosted Hermes agents where you bring your own infrastructure. You self-host the agents; Molted operates the runtime (recovery, density, integrations) on your servers.
Yes. On-premise Hermes runs on Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, OpenRouter, xAI and a dozen more, and you can swap providers without changing what your agent does, all while the agents and data stay on your hardware.
