PRODUCT SUMMARY

On-premises deployment

While many industries are turning to the cloud for digital transformation, some organizations are not yet ready to deploy their highly sensitive data to the cloud and continue to choose on-premises. There are several reasons why an organization might choose on-premises deployment, including:

  • Organizational/regional requirements: Depending on industry or regional regulations, some businesses have policies that require all data to remain on premise. For these organizations, considering the cloud for data storage or data solutions is simply not an option.
  • Stringent data control: While most cloud solutions have stringent security measures governing the data stored on their systems, some businesses may choose to keep their data on-premises as they feel it lessens their risk profile.
  • Process and customization control: On-premises deployments offer organizations ultimate process and customization control.
  • Limited ongoing costs: While many organizations prefer the SaaS model’s low upfront costs followed by ongoing subscription fees, other organizations are better set up for an on-premises model of an initial software purchase with no fees over time.

SaaS deployment

Organizational requirements and priorities vary widely. Those who prefer to dedicate little-to-no resources to internal IT, both personnel and hardware, and are looking to deploy quickly with minimal upfront and maintenance costs will turn to a SaaS deployment. Advantages of this cloud-based model include:

  • Limited internal IT resources: DCS SaaS solutions require minimal IT resources – in both hardware and personnel. By hosting the Titus solution in the cloud, organizations no longer need the rack space, or the personnel to maintain an on-prem solution.
  • Low upfront costs: DCS SaaS allows for organizations to more easily deploy their classification and security solutions as the barrier to upfront cost is greatly reduced and the Total Cost of Ownership is spread over the lifetime of the use of the solution.
  • Low maintenance costs: SaaS models offload all hardware maintenance and software updates to the service provider. DCS handles all maintenance, ensuring your organization is always running the latest version of the software, including the latest security updates.
  • Scalability: As your organization grows, DCS SaaS can easily scale with you. Changing security landscapes, mandates, and employee groups are easily managed through the cloud.
