Private Cloud
We recommend Private Cloud if...
Rapidfacture recommends a cloud solution to 90% of the users, especially small companies with less than 20 employees: a professional solution, which does not cause any internal effort and is significantly cheaper.
While professional server operation in Germany costs between €5,000 to €15,000 per year, the operating costs for a cloud server are usually less than €1,000 / year.
Take in consideration server hardware prices between €4,000 – €15,000 for professional systems. With the Private Cloud solution there is no hardware investment to make. However, the cloud hardware in the data center is of the highest quality, maintained by professionals.
Installation costs are relatively low.
On-Premise
We recommend On-Premise if...
- You have an internal admin or IT department or a long-standing service provider.
- Your company has over 30 software users who use the system on a daily basis.
- You just don't feel like moving to the cloud. We do no recommend to save on professional infrastructure (e.g. backup), so the additional costs generated by this decision should be worth the effort.
- Your internet connection is slower than DSL 6000.
- The internet connection fails at least 4 times a year. Keep in mind that in such a case, telephone and e-mail will not work either. If your internet fails once every 2 years, the issue is acceptable.
- Your company has fewer than 10 employees and you are an IT professional yourself who wants to invest your time.
- You have to work according to military standards and are not allowed to store data in the cloud.
