Delivery Models
Introduction
Structsure is a robust and secure identity provider, offering multiple delivery models to cater to the diverse needs of organizations. This page discusses the distinction between Structsure's Enterprise and Managed Cloud delivery models.
Enterprise Delivery
Overview
The Enterprise delivery model is designed for organizations that prioritize on-premises deployment or deployment to their cloud environments, often due to data residency requirements, security considerations, or specific operational controls.
Features
- Full Control: Organizations have full autonomy over their Structsure infrastructure, including hardware, network configurations, and security protocols.
- Data Residency: Ensures data remains within the organization's geographical or jurisdictional boundaries.
- Custom Integrations: Tailored solutions and integrations based on unique enterprise needs.
- Direct Support: Dedicated support teams to assist with configurations, troubleshooting, and updates.
Considerations
- Initial setup might require more time and resources, especially in on-premises scenarios.
- Organizations are responsible for hardware maintenance and upgrades in on-premises settings.
- Potential for higher upfront costs compared to Managed Cloud offerings.
Managed Cloud Delivery
Overview
The Managed Cloud delivery model is Structsure's cloud-native offering. This model enables organizations to leverage the power and scalability of Structsure's Managed Cloud infrastructure, allowing for a seamless, managed experience without the intricacies of setting up and maintaining the cloud environment.
Features
- Rapid Deployment: Quick setup times leveraging Structsure's cloud automation tools.
- Scalability: Easily scale resources up or down based on demand without manual interventions.
- Managed Security: Benefit from the security infrastructure and protocols set by Structsure's Managed Cloud.
- Cost Efficiency: Reduced management overhead and pay-as-you-go pricing models.
Considerations
- Data might reside in Structsure's Managed Cloud accounts, necessitating a review of data residency policies.
- Potential for additional costs if not managed properly (e.g., unused resources).
- Reliance on Structsure for certain aspects of infrastructure management.
