COMPARISON

Cloud Hosting vs On-Premise: Was ist der Unterschied?

With cloud hosting, the software is provided, updated and maintained by the provider. Accordingly, you do not have to worry about updates or new hardware – all of this is part of the license fees in the “SaaS” model.

On-premise, on the other hand, means that you run the software directly on your own servers. This gives you full control over your data, but also requires more responsibility for maintenance, updates and security.

YOUR BENEFITS

What are the advantages of on-premise hosting?

On-premise continues to be the state-of-the-art concept for all companies that have specific requirements in terms of data security or plan to manage sensitive or business-critical data with DAM software – without compromising on data protection.

100 % Data Control

Your data, your infrastructure. Accordingly, you have full control over what happens to your data and how data security is organized.

Flexible Change

If you decide to switch to cloud hosting, you can easily make the switch to 4ALLPORTAL at any time.

Extra Safety

With features such as our DMZ adapter, you can equip your DAM with an additional security buffer and protect your data with an additional firewall.

Strict access rights

You decide who can access your data. The combination of our rights management and your IT features nips unauthorized access in the bud.

Yes! In contrast to the general market trend, 4ALLPORTAL will continue to offer on-premise hosting for companies that value maximum control and data security. Our solution is constantly evolving, remains compatible with new technologies and supports you in remaining independent in the long term. At the same time, you have the option to switch to cloud hosting at any time should your goals change.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about hosting

The question of cost depends heavily on the individual requirements of your company. Cloud solutions have lower entry costs and do not require your own infrastructure. On-premise hosting, on the other hand, requires an initial investment for your own IT infrastructure. However, this can pay off in the long term – especially if data protection and control are paramount

The biggest disadvantage is the need for high-performance hardware. If the company does not yet have a compatible IT infrastructure, corresponding one-off costs must be planned for.

The biggest disadvantage of cloud hosting is the manufacturer’s server location. Some DAM providers operate their software on offshore servers outside the EU, some of which are not GDPR-compliant. This can give rise to potential compliance and data protection concerns, as well as security risks. At the same time, this form of hosting is associated with ongoing fees for operation, maintenance and updates. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Yes, with hybrid hosting, for example, the application is hosted in the cloud while the data is hosted on-premise on the customer’s servers.
