Ellipsis Drive can be used as a multi tenant Instant SaaS. At the same time, it is also possible to deploy a Private Instance of Ellipsis Drive on a cloud of your choice. A Private Instance is a fitting option when you - for example - have data under management that you do not wish to migrate, when you want to make use of a federated identity server, and/or when your security polices do not allow for the use of multi tenant SaaS solutions. If you are unsure about whether to use a Private Instance or the multi tenant Instant SaaS you can visit for information and guidance (or reach out to our team).

When going for a Private Instance, there are two standard deployment options:

1. A Private Instance hosted by Ellipsis Drive in a data center (or data centers) of your choosing.

2. A Private Instance hosted by your own organisation within your own network, with Ellipsis Drive as support.

Both of these options are under license. The yearly licence cost depends on your storage volume and the number of nodes in your instance (which measures the scale of the deployment).

A Private Instance hosted by Ellipsis Drive

In this case, a fresh instance of Ellipsis Drive is set up under its own network in a data center (or data centers) of your choice that is/are part for either AWS, GCP or Azure. The instance will be configured so that only your organisation - via your own network - can reach it. This adds an important layer of security, guarantees that you are compliant with requirements to store data within certain borders, boosts upload speed and reduces egress cost (after all, data does not need to be transferred over the internet as long as it stays in the same data center).

In this case, you are the single tenant of a solution maintained by Ellipsis Drive, secure and private for use by your organisation only.

A private instance hosted by your own organisation

You can also choose to host an Instance of Ellipsis Drive yourself on your own Infrastructure. Usually this option is considered when security requirements are more stringent. In case you are on AWS, GCP or Azure such a Private Deployment is set up within two weeks. If you are not in one of the above mentioned clouds, it is still possible to make use of a Private Instance, but the setup can take longer. In principle, Ellipsis Drive can run in any cloud environment that support docker containers. An installation guide for an overview of the basic architecture can be provided.

Our team is always available to help you and support your operations (see also our SLA), but keep in mind that Ellipsis staff cannot directly access your infrastructure unless your organisation provides them with the needed permissions. Providing limited permission is advised for the best and the quickest support experience in which our team takes pride.
