Convex on-prem or interacting with data not stored in Convex

Hello, The way I see it, the value of convex is in the computational/transactional "layer". Meaning the stored data could be hosted at the client's premisses. Most companies I worked with would never allow for their data not to be under their tight control. Maybe it'd be possible for such companies to use Convex if they host the data themselves. 99% of the interaction with that data needs to go through convex but they should still be able to host, access and query that data on their own.
For instance, company X ecomerce website/webapp uses Convex but convex itself would use company X's data center for the data storage. Obviously the stored data needs to be usable without the need for Convex. Exp: if they want to part with Convex or if they want to run some special analytics or whatever. Bottom line, company X wants to be the sole and unique holder of that data and all Convex would see is in its intermediary (maybe even ephemeral) layer!
Is such scenario possible now or in the future?
