APM-Private Cloud Overview
AppNeta provides two deployment options for AppNeta Performance Manager (APM): public cloud and private cloud. The public cloud offering runs as a service (SaaS) within the public cloud. The private cloud offering, APM-Private Cloud, runs as a virtual machine instance on a server within a customer network. APM-Private Cloud is typically used by customers whose network or security policy precludes use of the public cloud offering.
With APM-Private Cloud:
- All data remains within the customer network.
- There are no external network connections except where explicitly enabled. These include:
- Maintenance tunnel
- ISP resolution service
- Geo map service
Public cloud vs. private cloud
Generally there is feature parity between the public and private cloud offerings with the following exceptions:
| Feature | Public cloud | Private cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Monitoring points supported | Unlimited | 1000 |
| Usage history storage | 90 days (unlimited data size) | 30 days or 318GB (max. 2GB per monitoring point) - whichever comes first |
| Usage monitoring at 10 Gbps | Yes | No |

| Delivery route history storage | 365 days | 90 days |
| Global Monitoring Point access | Yes | No |
| System-level branding options | No | Yes |
| Organization-level branding options | Yes | Yes |
