On-premises
Running systems on technology controlled and operated by your own organisation
What's it for?
Keeps systems on equipment the organisation owns and operates itself.
For example…
Patient records stay on-premises in the hospital’s own data centre under local policy
A company runs its finance database on servers in its own data centre, making it an on-premises system rather than a public-cloud service.
Think of it like…
Keeping files in your own office cabinets instead of a rented storage unit across town
