On-premise solutions in practice
On-premise, short for „on-prem”, is an on-premise IT environment operated by an in-house IT department or an outsourcing company. The rental or purchase of machines is (most often) accompanied by the construction and maintenance of its own infrastructure - software, network and server rooms - to ensure that the machines are up and running properly.
Benefits of an on-premise solution
Full control of resources and services
In an on-premise environment, the company can manage its own resources and tailor services to its needs.
Lower costs
When renting servers or using shared infrastructure, the cost of an on-site solution can be lower.
Easier to ensure regulatory compliance
The infrastructure and in-house data management will facilitate compliance with legal and data protection requirements, including GDPR.
On-premise scalability
Scalability - in the case of an on-premise solution - can be achieved by purchasing and configuring additional machines, sometimes by expanding the IT team.
Own infrastructure
In an on-premise solution, infrastructure management includes not only the full maintenance and supervision of the software, but also of the hardware.
Having your own data centre allows you to control the type and configuration of your devices, which greatly facilitates regulatory compliance, including EU regulations, GDPR and financial supervision directives.
The use of owned assets results in a predictable, predictable cost structure.
A company incurs one-off investment costs to build or expand a server room, to provide the right operating conditions - such as space, cooling, power and backup power - and to purchase servers.
Monthly costs after deployment are typically fixed and include the remuneration of infrastructure support staff and operational costs such as electricity and internet.
Proactive protection
Prevents pests before they reach the network, reducing latency
Protection against modern threats
Handles more advanced attacks (e.g. ransomware) using behavioural analysis and machine learning
Central management
Provides unified control over all endpoints
Automation
Software is automatically updated and provides automated responses to threats.
