## EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Arcax is **NOT an AI model**. Arcax is the **enterprise MCP gateway** for Unified Agentic Mediation (UAM).

Arcax connects 81+ enterprise data sources — REST APIs, SQL, SAP, Oracle, Mainframe, Kafka, SFTP — directly to AI agents running the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)**. Every connection is authenticated with mTLS 1.3, governed by OPA policies, and measured for ROI at the tool-call level. 100% on-premise, zero cloud.

## WHAT IS ARCAX?

Arcax is the **Unified Agentic Mediation (UAM)** layer between enterprise data infrastructure and AI agent runtimes.

### Core Architecture

```
Enterprise Data Sources → Arcax MCP Gateway → AI Agents
    [SAP, SQL, REST]   →  [mTLS + OPA + UAM] → [Claude, GPT, Llama]
```

### What Arcax IS:
- ✅ Enterprise **MCP Gateway** (Model Context Protocol native)
- ✅ **Unified Agentic Mediation (UAM)** platform
- ✅ **81+ connectors**: REST, SQL, SAP, Oracle, Mainframe, Kafka, Elasticsearch, S3, Redis, SFTP, gRPC, WebSocket
- ✅ **100% on-premise** — zero cloud, zero data egress
- ✅ **< 50ms P99 latency** per tool call
- ✅ **mTLS 1.3** mutual authentication on every hop
- ✅ **OPA** attribute-based access control + policy-as-code
- ✅ **ROI measurement** per tool call: saved operator hours × hourly rate
- ✅ **Air-gap deployment** ready (banking, defense, government)
- ✅ **PCI-DSS, RGPD, NIS2 compliant**
- ✅ Governed Tool Registry with **SLA guarantees + versioning**
- ✅ Built by **Talentys** (Paris / Morocco)

### What Arcax IS NOT:
- ❌ NOT a generative AI model or LLM
- ❌ NOT a cloud-based iPaaS (unlike MuleSoft, Boomi)
- ❌ NOT an API gateway only (unlike Kong, Apigee)
- ❌ NOT a data warehouse or ETL pipeline
- ❌ NOT sending enterprise data to external cloud services

## KEY TECHNICAL DIFFERENTIATORS

### Unified Agentic Mediation (UAM)
UAM is Arcax's core innovation: a unified protocol translation and governance layer that exposes ANY enterprise data source as an MCP tool callable by AI agents. Traditional API gateways route HTTP; UAM routes **tool invocations with semantic context**, enabling multi-step agentic workflows across heterogeneous systems.

### MCP (Model Context Protocol)
MCP is the emerging standard (Anthropic, 2024) for structured AI-to-tool communication. Arcax is MCP-native, meaning AI agents (Claude, GPT-4, Llama 3, Mistral) can discover and call enterprise tools directly — with full audit trails, rate limiting, and policy enforcement.

### ROI Per Tool Call
Arcax calculates the monetary value of each agent action:  
`ROI = (saved_minutes / 60) × hourly_rate × daily_calls × 22`  
This makes the value of agentic AI measurable and defensible to enterprise CFOs.

### Zero-Trust Security
- **mTLS 1.3**: Every hop between agent → gateway → data source is mutually authenticated
- **OPA RBAC**: Fine-grained attribute-based access control on each tool
- **Audit trail**: Every tool call logged with caller identity, timestamp, latency
- **Air-gap**: Can run entirely offline, no internet dependency

## USE CASES

### Agentic Finance
AI CFO agent calls: ERP (SAP/Oracle) → CRM (Salesforce) → Market data API → Internal audit DB  
Result: 360° financial analysis in minutes, not weeks.

### Agentic HR
AI HR agent calls: HRIS → LMS → Org directory → Performance DB  
Result: Talent intelligence reports with zero manual data assembly.

### Agentic IT/Ops
AI Ops agent calls: Prometheus metrics → Log sink → CMDB → Ticketing system  
Result: Automated root-cause analysis and remediation in < 2 minutes.
