As one of the few cloud solutions, Aptien can also be run on your servers and infrastructure (on-premises, self-hosted)
What are the conditions for self-hosted Aptien?
If you do not want to use the advantages of the cloud and want to host Aptien by yourself on your own infrastructure (on-premises), several basic technical and licensing conditions must be met:
- On-prem is only possible with the Enterprise pricing plan
- A minimum of 10 Enterprise users must be purchased or 5 Enterprise user along with intranet for 100 employees
- You must have a VMware or Hyper-V virtual machine ready on your server
- You must have another backup server ready
- You must have a specialist who can ensure the operation of the virtual server, backup and system monitoring
- You have to allow to update Aptien
In which case is it worthwhile for you to run Aptien on your own server?
- Only if you explicitly want to run Aptien on your own server otherwise, you can use our cloud hosting at the basic license price
- If you have your own infrastructure (server) on which you will run the solution
- If you have your own IT professionals who will take care of the operation and backup of the server
- If security regulations do not allow you to store data outside your organization
