Choosing the right software deployment model for your product is crucial to how an enterprise views your software offering. For them, cloud technology means it's no longer simply about selecting the right capabilities and software vendor; they also have to consider the delivery model to deploy the software across their enterprise. Different vendors offer different deployment models and some may support more than one deployment method (even for the same application).
Cloud computing has revolutionized the software market in a number of ways, but it has also transformed how software developers can enable on-demand resources, unlocking lower costs, lower risk of downtime, and increased scalability, efficiency, performance, and security. Within both traditional on-premises and cloud software deployment models, there are a number of options available.
