On-Premise vs. Cloud Hosted Solutions

Carillon® ERP has clients with their servers in the cloud and on on-premise servers. Wherever you decide to host Carillon® ERP, Carillon will provide comprehensive support depending on your chosen Support Plan.

Cloud-Based Solution

In this scenario, a cloud provider hosts the Carillon® ERP system, your chosen database, and the optional KwikTag server in their secure facility. When searching for a cloud provider, look for a company that maintains an SSAE16 Type II SOC1, SOC2 (Security and Availability), and SOC3 data center. The provider will place your information on the cloud using a Virtual Private Network (VPN), and everyone in your organization will access their data via VPN.

On-Premise Solution

If an on-premise solution is a better fit for your organization, Carillon can help you find a server with the specifications your company needs. With this option, you should also consider a cloud backup for your on-premise solution and Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPS) to ensure your information is secure and accessible.

If your organization has multiple locations, you can create a cloud network that your other locations can access.
