0:02 welcome to palms academy
0:04 in this video let us see the difference
0:07 between hosted and on-premise model meet
0:10 john john is the head of supply chain at
0:12 xyz corp in the previous set of videos
0:15 we saw how john evaluated and
0:17 implemented a warehouse management
0:19 system as part of the process to
0:21 implement a wms one of the most
0:23 important decisions that john had to
0:26 take was whether to go for hosted model
0:28 or on-premise model
0:30 let us see how john evaluated the two
0:33 models and pros and cons he identifies
0:34 on-premise model
0:36 john understands that in an on-premise
0:39 model he is responsible for the
0:40 procurement and maintenance of the
0:43 infrastructure to host the wms application
0:44 application
0:46 he identifies the different hardware and
0:48 software platforms that are required to
0:51 host the wms they are
0:54 hardware for production servers test
0:57 servers report servers external storage
1:00 devices and backup devices for disaster
1:02 management and mitigation software
1:05 software
1:07 operating systems and related licenses
1:09 database management systems and related
1:12 licenses report server licenses
1:15 anti-virus licenses firewall licenses
1:17 and load balancers
1:21 infrastructure for the data center alike
1:23 a secure area with access control
1:26 mechanism for the servers
1:28 provision and backup for maintaining a
1:31 preset temperature power backup for the
1:34 data center and backup lines for both
1:36 intranet and internet connections
1:40 provision for vpn
1:43 anti-static and fire retardant flooring
1:46 john also realizes that he would require
1:48 robust disaster management and disaster
1:51 recovery services which is extremely
1:53 expensive to set up and manage in
1:55 on-premise mode
1:57 apart from the points identified above
2:00 john recognizes that the overall budget
2:03 to implement a wms is not just
2:05 restricted to the cost of the software
2:07 but also includes additional
2:09 year-on-year cost to maintain the
2:12 infrastructure john also realizes that
2:15 server capacity in terms of cpu ram and
2:18 storage will require periodic upgrades
2:22 as the number of users and data grows he
2:24 also realizes that servers will also
2:26 have to be upgraded at the end of their
2:29 lifecycle which will lead to additional costs
2:31 costs
2:33 hosted model
2:36 after evaluating on-premise model john
2:38 evaluates the hosted model in which he
2:41 had to either pay a monthly subscription
2:44 fees or yearly subscription fees
2:46 with the hosted option john did not have
2:49 to worry about servers and licenses
2:51 john had the option to add resources
2:54 like memory cpu storage space and
2:57 on-demand db backup
2:59 he also had options to reduce the
3:01 resources required during non-peak hours
3:05 to minimize the costs hosted model also
3:07 provided disaster management and
3:09 disaster recovery options at affordable cost
3:10 cost
3:13 to access the wms through the cloud john
3:15 had to procure high-speed internet
3:17 connection to ensure application
3:20 performance did not degrade due to slow internet
3:22 internet
3:24 john understands that irrespective of
3:27 the model he chooses he must procure
3:29 install and maintain certain
3:30 infrastructure like
3:33 network connectivity at the office and
3:35 warehouse locations
3:37 wi-fi devices
3:40 desktop pcs or laptops printers
3:42 printers
3:45 barcode label printers
3:47 and handheld devices
3:50 john recognizes that moving to the cloud
3:52 is to future proof his business
3:55 he also realizes that large companies
3:58 who had the capability to maintain large
4:01 data centers were moving to the cloud as
4:03 the cloud offers more advantages and
4:06 takes away the hassle of maintaining
4:08 servers and related infrastructure while
4:11 providing enough features to safeguard
4:12 his data
4:14 this concludes the video on the
4:16 differences between hosted model and
4:18 on-premise model please share your
