All the isolation of your own server. None of the server room.
PrintJobManager is delivered as SaaS, hosted by Aleyant. Most customers run on shared cloud infrastructure. Enterprise customers who want the isolation of dedicated hardware can move to a dedicated cloud server, without taking on the cost, patching, and upkeep of running a server on-site.
Shared SaaS
Several customers on common infrastructure, kept apart by software.
Dedicated Cloud
One Customer. Your own server, with nobody else's data or activity from others.
Two ways to run PrintJobManager
Both are SaaS, hosted and maintained by Aleyant. The difference is whether you share the underlying server with other customers or have it entirely to yourself.
| Shared SaaS | Dedicated Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Where it runs | Aleyant-hosted, on shared cloud infrastructure | Aleyant-hosted, on a server used only by you |
| Who maintains it | Aleyant | Aleyant |
| Isolation | Logically separated, on hardware shared with other customers | Fully isolated, on hardware used by no one else |
| Best fit | Most shops that want SaaS simplicity without extra cost | Enterprise businesses with stricter security or compliance needs |
Dedicated Cloud vs. running your own server
If the appeal of an on-premises server is having it to yourself, a dedicated cloud server gets you that same isolation, without buying hardware or staffing up to maintain it.
| Server on-site | Dedicated Cloud | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware cost | You buy and refresh servers every few years, a capital expense | No hardware to buy, a predictable subscription instead |
| Patching & maintenance | Your IT team handles updates, security patches, and backups | Aleyant handles all of it for you |
| Uptime & disaster recovery | A single point of failure in your building; recovery is on you | Redundant cloud infrastructure with backups and failover built in |
| Remote access | Usually needs a VPN or extra setup for other locations | Accessible from anywhere, no extra setup |
| Isolation | Fully isolated, because it is in your building | Just as isolated, on a server that is still only yours |
| Scalability | Limited by whatever hardware you already bought | Resources can be adjusted as your shop grows |
