Cloud: A model where applications run on remote servers over the internet. On-Premise: A model where software runs on in-house physical or virtual servers.
The main difference between both approaches is in the ownership, control, security and maintenance processes. Modern platforms should offer sustainability and flexibility at the same time by adapting to both architectures.
Traditional software often either only allows On-Prem installations or is optimized only for specific cloud providers. This creates infrastructure dependency. Also, migrating systems to different environments is complex and time-consuming.
i-frame removes the limitations of infrastructure dependency. The architecture of the platform:
- With its Docker/Kubernetes supported distribution structure, it provides easy installation in both On-Prem and Cloud environments.
- In both scenarios, the same functions can be used with the same interface.
- Integrations, database connections and security protocols are environment-independent.
| Feature | Traditional Methods | i-frame |
|---|---|---|
| Setup | Long and manual | Docker-supported fast setup |
| Environment Dependency | Tied to a single structure | Cloud + On-Prem compatible |
| Portability | Difficult and costly | Platform-independent deployment |
| Database Compatibility | Limited | MSSQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, etc. |
| OS Compatibility | May depend on Windows | Compatible with Windows + Linux |
| Web Browser Compatibility | Restricted | Compatible with all modern browsers |
