Bring your own intelligence closer to the impression
Index Cloud is our neutral compute environment for decisioning closer to when impressions originate. Partners deploy their own models, data, and logic in isolated infrastructure adjacent to the transactionproviding the autonomy of the public cloud, but without the latency, signal loss, cost premiums, and added overhead of running outside from the auction.
Decisions made closer to the impression are smarter from the start
[icon-value-evergreen-120x120-1.png]
Your value stays yours
Deploy your own models, data, and decisioning logic without giving up control of your strategy or IP.
[icon-autonomous-evergreen-120x120-1.png]
Autonomous by design
Each partner runs in isolated infrastructure with tightly permissioned access, cryptographically signed code, and independent execution.
[icon-objective-evergreen-120x120-1.png]
Objective platform
Index provides the environment, not the strategy. We do not define your logic or intermediate your unique value.

Closer to the impression
Run against the signals available at decision time without external round trips, unnecessary latency, or signal loss.

The Index Cloud purpose-built for programmatic
A neutral platform for partner intelligence
Every partner brings distinct value to Index Cloud. We provide the common compute layer while you retain autonomy over your own models, logic, and commercial strategy.
No external hosting costs required
Theres no infrastructure for you to maintain outside the exchange.
Performance at the source
Closer proximity to the impression means your models run on richer signals, faster, and at greater global internet scale.
Immediate scale
Your unique business value has immediate, scaled access to 3,000+ global media owners spanning streaming TV, web display, online video, native, and mobile app.
Our infrastructure, not public cloud
The Index Cloud is purpose-built for programmatic at scale and runs within Index’s own global data centers without any third-party cloud dependencies.
Hear from Index Cloud partners
“By collapsing the distance between our decisioning layer and the impression, Index Cloud lets us focus on what matters most: making the best decision for the best performance. At the same time, we retain full independence of how we decision on an ad, with our code remaining private and under our control.”
Shane Shevlin
Co-Founder and CEO of Bedrock Platform
“Before Index Cloud, we had to shrink our AI models to deploy them. Now we can run them at full scale in real time, helping advertisers achieve better outcomes with greater efficiency.”
Adam Heimlich
Founder and CEO of Chalice AI
“Index Cloud is foundational. It’s the infrastructure that makes containerized AI decisioning possible, allowing us to bring richer data closer to the impression to drive the outcome the advertiser wants.”
