The InfoLibrarian Metadata Appliance™ was originally delivered as a self-contained, hardware-based solution for quickly deploying enterprise-grade metadata management and governance capabilities. While this physical appliance is no longer distributed, its spirit lives on in our
Metadata Platform — a fully modular, cloud-ready platform that can be deployed virtually or in hybrid environments.
Today, the same robust functionality is available as a virtual appliance or containerized deployment, optimized for modern enterprise architectures and compliance-focused use cases. Whether you need to operate in an air-gapped setting or deploy rapidly in the cloud, the evolved Metadata Appliance ensures you retain full control, flexibility, and power.
