Question 1

What is the main difference between Voltify and Azure OpenAI?

Accepted Answer

Voltify deploys private AI infrastructure within your own environment - on-premise or in your VPC. Azure OpenAI Service is a managed cloud service running on Microsoft Azure infrastructure. With Voltify, your data never leaves your environment and costs are fixed. Azure OpenAI charges per token and operates within Microsoft's cloud boundary.

Question 2

Is Voltify more secure than Azure OpenAI?

Accepted Answer

Voltify deploys entirely within your compliance perimeter - on-premise or in your private VPC. Azure OpenAI runs within Azure's cloud boundary with Microsoft's security controls. While Azure offers strong security, Voltify eliminates all cloud exposure by running AI completely within your own environment - no data traverses Microsoft's network for inference.

Question 3

How does Voltify pricing compare to Azure OpenAI?

Accepted Answer

Voltify uses a fixed annual license ($50K-$387K depending on tier). Azure OpenAI charges per token with throughput-based pricing. For enterprises processing 1M+ tokens per day, Voltify can be 50-70% lower total cost of ownership. Azure OpenAI costs scale with usage while Voltify costs are fixed and predictable.

Question 4

Does Azure OpenAI offer on-premise deployment like Voltify?

Accepted Answer

Azure OpenAI Service is a cloud-only managed service. While Azure offers private endpoints and data residency options, the infrastructure remains on Microsoft's cloud. Voltify specializes in true on-premise and private VPC deployment where you control every layer of the stack - from hardware to model weights.

Question 5

Can Voltify integrate with existing Microsoft/Azure ecosystems?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Voltify can deploy into your existing Azure VPC and integrates with Azure services, Microsoft 365, Dynamics, and other Microsoft products. The difference is Voltify's AI runs on infrastructure you fully control within your Azure tenancy, rather than as a shared Microsoft managed service.

Question 6

How does compliance compare between Voltify and Azure OpenAI?

Accepted Answer

Azure OpenAI inherits Microsoft's compliance certifications but operates on shared infrastructure. Voltify provides SOC 2 Type II alignment, ISO 27001-aligned controls, HIPAA-ready deployment, and full audit transparency - with the added benefit of absolute data isolation since no inference data leaves your environment.
