On-Premises
On-Premise (or server-based solution) is a deployment model in which organizations host software or infrastructure on their own premises instead of in the cloud.
By choosing this solution, organizations retain full control over their infrastructure and can customize and configure it to meet their specific needs. However, on-premise requires organizations to invest more capital and resources to manage hardware and software.
On-Premise components
Hardware:
- Server infrastructure (physical servers);
- network components (routers and switches);
- Storage devices (hard disks or storage area networks (SANs).
Organizations need to ensure that the hardware meets application requirements and can handle the expected workload.
Software:
- An operating system that supports the selected applications;
- database for storing and managing data;
- application servers to host and deliver applications to end users.
The choice of software components depends on the specific requirements of the organization and the applications it intends to deploy.
Best practices in building local infrastructure
- Designing a robust infrastructure that meets the current and future needs of the organization.
- Implementing appropriate security measures to protect data and infrastructure from data breaches and cybercriminals.
- Organizing regular backups to ensure data integrity, and performing routine system maintenance.
- Conducting regular monitoring to proactively identify and remediate potential problems.
