On-Premise IT

On-premise is a traditional method of installing and customizing software on the customer’s own computers where you will own both the software being used (or at least a license to use it) and the equipment on which it will be run.

Often abbreviated as on-prem IT, and also called “on-premise” your software is installed and run on computers within your premises (in the building), rather than at a remote facility, such as a datacentre or cloud service provider. On-premises software is sometimes referred to as “shrinkwrap” software, and off-premises software is commonly called “software as a service” or “cloud computing”.

For most organisations, on-premise IT will be based on one or more servers (whether virtualised or not) and will be accessed using client computers (PC workstations, laptops or tablets) over a local area network.
