FEATURE BRIEF
Kiteworks Comparison:
IRAP vs. Hosted
vs. On-premises
Consider the following when deciding where to deploy your Kiteworks
instance in Australia. Self-managed on-premises systems can provide
customers with the most control, but also the most responsibility. Typical
cloud systems have accessibility, cost, security, and scalability advantages,
and Kiteworks Enterprise Hosting adds a higher level of security and control.
Kiteworks IRAP maximizes security with a set of services and controls
wrapped around a single-tenant hosted system.
