Self-hosted analytics
Self-hosting can support data control, private networking, custom retention, regional requirements, and integration with internal systems. It also requires operational capacity for upgrades, scaling, security, backups, availability, and monitoring. Self-hosted may run on-premise or in the customer’s cloud account, so the terms are related but not identical.
What is Self-hosted analytics?
Self-hosted analytics is analytics software deployed in infrastructure selected and controlled by the customer rather than operated entirely as a vendor-managed SaaS service.
Why it matters
Self-hosting can support data control, private networking, custom retention, regional requirements, and integration with internal systems. It also requires operational capacity for upgrades, scaling, security, backups, availability, and monitoring. Self-hosted may run on-premise or in the customer’s cloud account, so the terms are related but not identical.
Example
A company deploys its analytics platform in a private cloud account and manages the database, network rules, upgrades, and backup policy.
