Deployment
Cloud or your own server: you choose where LoftRay runs
LoftRay runs the same software in our cloud or on your own server. In the cloud we host it and handle updates. On your own server it installs from a signed offline installer, updates when you say so, and our support reaches it only through a relay that can’t read your data.
Two options
What is the difference between cloud and own server?
The software, the modules and the screens are the same. Who runs the server is not.
Own server
How does support reach a server in your building?
Through an encrypted relay. It connects our support team to your server without being able to read the traffic that passes through it.
Your server
LoftRay and your data, on your premises.
Encrypted relay
Passes the connection through without being able to read it.
LoftRay support
Helps with updates and issues when you ask.
Which one
Which option suits your company?
Choose the cloud if
you have no IT team, want updates handled for you, and want to start quickly without buying hardware.
Choose your own server if
your policy says business data stays on your premises, or you already run servers and have people to look after them.
Questions
Questions about where LoftRay runs
Can LoftRay run on our own server?
Yes. Install it on your own server with a yearly licence, or use our cloud. Both run the same software.
Where is our data stored?
On LoftRay Cloud, in a region we will name here before launch. On your own server, the data stays on that server; LoftRay support reaches it only through an encrypted relay that cannot read the traffic.
Can it be installed without an internet connection?
Yes. The own-server version comes as a signed offline installer, so it can be installed on a machine that is not connected to the internet.
How are updates handled on our own server?
Updates are staged, so you choose when they are applied.
