OnPremUmgebungen
OnPremUmgebungen, short for on-premises environments, refer to the practice of hosting and managing software applications and data within an organization's own physical infrastructure. This approach contrasts with cloud computing, where resources are hosted on remote servers managed by third-party providers. On-premises environments offer several advantages, including greater control over data security and privacy, as well as the ability to customize hardware and software to meet specific organizational needs. However, they also come with higher upfront costs, maintenance requirements, and potential limitations in scalability and flexibility. Organizations often choose on-premises solutions for critical applications where data sovereignty and compliance are paramount. The management of on-premises environments typically involves dedicated IT staff responsible for hardware maintenance, software updates, and ensuring the overall reliability and performance of the systems.
