VAI Solutions can run in the Cloud or On-Premise
Both on-premise and cloud computing can provide your business with the IT infrastructure it needs. The model you choose will likely depend on the level of security you need in order to meet compliance standards and on the cost structure you prefer.
A cloud-based solution utilizes cloud architecture and highly virtualized technology to host a company’s applications offsite in highly secure data centers. Reducing capital expenditures to a minimum, data is backed up regularly, and companies only need pay for the resources they use. This allows companies to pay on an as-needed basis and effectively scale up or down depending on overall usage, user requirements, and the growth of a company.
In an on-premise environment, resources are deployed in-house and within an enterprise's IT infrastructure. An enterprise is responsible for maintaining the solution and all its related processes.
There are a number of fundamental differences between an on-premises and a cloud environment. Which path is the correct one for your enterprise depends entirely on your needs and what it is you’re looking for in a solution. Here’s a look at how the two models compare.
