So, before you make a choice, it is imperative that you have done a thorough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/customizations\/deployment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">private cloud vs on-premise comparison<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In this post, we\u2019ll examine the most popular deployment options for enterprise-level LMS software, and weigh the private cloud vs on-premise pros and cons.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>On-premise hosting<\/h3>\n<p>Under the on-premise hosting model, you run your enterprise LMS software on your own servers, which are hosted on a data center at your premises and are managed by your IT staff.<\/p>\n<p>While on-premise sees strong competition from the increasing number of cloud offerings, it\u2019s still holding its own in the enterprise world. In fact, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/newsroom\/id\/3878666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 study by Gartner, Inc.<\/a> showed a 17.3% year-over-year growth in server purchases for enterprise data centers.<\/p>\n<p>The main selling point of on-premise hosting is that you retain full control of your data and services. This is especially important in this era of strict data protection laws and increased user concerns over privacy.<\/p>\n<p>Running your LMS in your own data center allows you to enforce in your training servers the same deployment rules, security restrictions, and DevOps processes already in place across your IT infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>You also don\u2019t have to share your training servers with anyone else, which gives you better performance per dollar compared to the average co-hosted private cloud solution.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, since an on-premise LMS lives on your own data center, it will be easier to restrict access to employees inside your premises, or to integrate it with other systems you already have.<\/p>\n<p>All this flexibility, however, comes at a cost.<\/p>\n<p>Your IT staff will have to spend a good chunk of time to spec, order, install, set up, configure, and deploy your on-premise LMS. And that\u2019s just to get it up and running. To keep your training portal working smoothly and securely they\u2019ll also need to monitor it and perform regular maintenance work.<\/p>\n<h3>Private cloud hosting<\/h3>\n<p>In private cloud hosting, you rent your service infrastructure from a private cloud solutions vendor, that takes care of running the network and maintaining the hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Private cloud hosting is increasingly popular with medium and large businesses that need to offload some of their IT work, but want to maintain control of their software infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>The main benefit of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/2016\/11\/training-private-cloud-needed-cases.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hosting your LMS on a private cloud<\/a> is that you don\u2019t have to set up and maintain additional infrastructure on your own data center (or even have a data center). The private cloud vendor hosts your training software and makes sure that it runs smoothly.<\/p>\n<p>While the private cloud vendor is responsible for the hosting infrastructure, you still have the final say on everything from the OS and upwards. You can fully customize your LMS installation, add custom training extensions, and even co-host packages such as WordPress.<\/p>\n<p>Private cloud hosting also makes it easier to scale your training portal (e.g., to train large multinational teams, or to open your training to the public). Most vendors let you upgrade any part of your hosting plan (CPU, storage, bandwidth, etc.) on demand.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all roses, though.<\/p>\n<p>While private clouds have been embraced as reliable enterprise hosting options over the years, it\u2019s still possible that you\u2019ll suffer the occasional outage. And during that, your only option will be to wait for your vendor\u2019s IT team to restore the service.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, private cloud hosting makes it slightly more complicated to integrate your LMS with software and hardware systems in your data center.<\/p>\n<p>Last, but not least, you have to share control of your data with the private cloud vendor that is responsible for storing and handling them. Considering the increasingly harsher laws against data mismanagement (e.g., EU\u2019s GDPR legislation), you will need to either opt for on-premise hosting (if you have the technical skills to secure it) or choose your private cloud vendor wisely.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7294 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise.png\" alt=\"Private Cloud vs On-premise comparison: what to choose for your LMS\" width=\"1200\" height=\"314\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise-768x201.png 768w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise-1024x268.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise-810x212.png 810w, https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Private-cloud-vs-on-premise-1140x298.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Private cloud vs on-premise comparison: which and why?<\/h2>\n<p>So, now that you have seen the basics of what these options can offer to you, let\u2019s see when and why you should choose each of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Pick on-premise LMS hosting<\/h3>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If training is critical for your business<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your LMS is crucial for your day-to-day operation, you might not want to depend on a third-party vendor for its availability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If your training includes sensitive information<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your training often contains sensitive material that must not leak outside the company (e.g., secret employee training material ahead of a surprise product launch). In these cases hosting it on-premise lets you keep everything under close guard.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you want total control of your data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s privacy-centric landscape and especially in light of GDPR regulations (which impose large penalties for data breaches), trusting your company\u2019s services to a cloud-based third party is a risk many CEOs are not willing to take.<\/p>\n<p>On-premise hosting is the tried-and-true alternative that lets you retain total control over your data. eFront, for example, can run as a self-hosted intranet service, letting you train your employees without your data ever reaching the internet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/integrations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">integrate your LMS<\/a> with other enterprise systems<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your training portal needs to talk to machines and services hosted on your data center, self-hosting is the best option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you want to keep your IT resources in-house<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are a larger company with considerable IT expertise, self-hosting can help you to simplify your server management and centralize control of your training infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h3>When to opt for a private cloud-based LMS solution<\/h3>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you want the quickest time to deployment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Private cloud hosting lets you create a full-blown corporate training portal in less than a day. That\u2019s lightning fast compared to waiting several weeks for your company to choose, buy, and set up the required servers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you want to free up corporate IT resources<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Offloading your LMS hosting to a private cloud will enable your IT staff to spend more time on your most crucial business services, such as your CRM and ERP.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you lack in-house IT expertise<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smaller companies often lack the IT skills to manage their own data center. In such cases, a private cloud vendor is a more secure and stable option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you run publicly available training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your training is open to the general public (e.g., if you run a customer training program), then private cloud hosting offers a fast web deployment option and makes it easier to scale your training portal as your audience grows.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If you don\u2019t have any special integration needs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your LMS doesn\u2019t need to connect to your core IT infrastructure, then offloading it to a private cloud gives you great customizability without the headaches of maintenance.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>As you have probably already guessed, there\u2019s no clear winner in our private cloud vs on-premise comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Both cloud and on-premise hosting have their pros and cons, and offer different tradeoffs. Either of them can be a fine choice for your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.efrontlearning.com\/features\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">enterprise training LMS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It all comes down to your company\u2019s IT skills, your training needs, and your choice of LMS software. Some platforms offer no private cloud hosting options, whereas others don\u2019t let you self-host \u2015 making the whole cloud vs on-premise comparison a moot point.<\/p>\n<p>Our own training platform, eFront, is a rare breed of LMS that can be deployed both on-premise and to a private cloud. In fact, our fully managed Private Cloud option goes for the exact same price as the on-premise version and comes with free updates, support, and backups. Plus, for the ultimate in speed, it lets you choose the hosting region that\u2019s closer to your users between US, EU, Asia, and Australia.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re running an internet business or operate in a more traditional industry, choosing the right hosting model for your company\u2019s online services is an important step.
