Multi-Prem Software

As data privacy, security, and regulatory compliance have become more important, many enterprises have chosen not to adopt multitenant SaaS solutions. These customers need solutions that give them more comprehensive control over their data. As such, they have traditionally purchased on-premises software, packaged as binary files, and deployed it on hardware in a data center, server room, or colocation facility. This approach, while providing the necessary level of control, brings operational challenges and limitations.

The demand for on-premises software remains enormous and continues to grow. A hybrid approach called multi-prem is emerging, offering some of the advantages of on-premises deployment along with the scalability of cloud-native applications. This model relies on orchestrated containers and the DevOps software development life cycle to manage application installation, maintenance, upgrades, and operations.

Containerized architecture and software development pipelines bring automation, uniformity, scalability, and observability to software deployment and management. This technique enables the packaging of cloud-native applications for multiple customer environments, including on-premises, private clouds, and air-gapped servers. With this model, enterprise IT teams can stop struggling to manually operate legacy applications and instead can partner with in-house engineering teams to operate a platform as a whole that helps manage applications for them. ...
