Portal Deployment

In Your Datacenter, Or In The Cloud

CTERA Portal is available in both SaaS and Datacenter editions:

  • Datacenter Edition: Installed at the service provider’s existing datacenter, this option leverages the service provider’s investment in hosting and storage infrastructure to generate a new source of recurring revenue. It is equally well-suited to large-scale branch office deployments.
  • SaaS Edition: Run by a "Master MSP" (a CTERA partner running the Datacenter Edition) as a cloud service, the SaaS edition it is the quickest way for service providers to make a foray into managed cloud services, with an own-branded offering that can be up and running in hours, with no upfront investment.
