Self-hosted deployment
DBtune offers a self-hosted deployment option for enterprise customers. Self-hosting is particularly valuable in two scenarios:
- For organizations requiring an air-gapped environment due to regulatory compliance and information security requirements.
- For cases needing specific customizations or integrations that are only possible in a self-managed environment. For example, if you are a software provider you may want to integrate your service more tightly with the DBtune optimizer. This is common for partners who adopt a value added reseller (VAR) or original equipment manufacturer (OEM) commercial model.
The self-hosted deployment delivers the complete feature set of the DBtune SaaS while giving you the added benefits of enhanced security, customization options, and infrastructure control. However, your team will be responsible for maintenance, updates, and infrastructure management.
