PrizmDoc v13.2 - Updated
Server Hosting Options
PrizmDoc Overview > Server Hosting Options

We Host It or You Host It!

With PrizmDoc, we offer two options for hosting your PrizmDoc Server. Before you move forward with installation, you will want to understand these options and determine what is right for you.

Self-Hosted (On Premise)

The self-hosted installation is the traditional hosting option, in which you install PrizmDoc Server entirely on your own infrastructure. PrizmDoc Server is flexible and scalable in that it can be installed on single server or a cluster scenario, with several different possible options for cluster installs.

Reasons to Choose Self-Hosted

Accusoft Cloud-Hosted

With Accusoft Cloud-Hosted Services, you only need to integrate the PrizmDoc Viewer within your application and connect to our PrizmDoc Server, hosted on AWS. This allows you to have all the power of our customizable Viewer and set of APIs, without having to provision the hardware necessary to run PrizmDoc Server on-premise.

Reasons to Choose Accusoft Cloud-Hosted

What happens if I need to change my decision later?

As mentioned, both the Cloud-Hosted and Self-Hosted options are based on a common architecture. Moving from one option to another requires a minor configuration entry and an appropriate license:

Installers Shipped with PrizmDoc

Self-Hosted Only

PrizmDoc contains two installers; one for the PrizmDoc Server and one for the Viewer (which includes all of the Viewer code and the Web Tier samples). Please refer to the Getting Started with PrizmDoc section for complete instructions.

Licensing

The license for the Accusoft Cloud-Hosted option is distinct from the Self-Hosted options. When you sign up for a trial, you will receive separate license keys to support either option. You can convert your trial Accusoft Cloud-Hosted license to a paid license on our website or consult a sales representative to purchase an on-premise license.
