IC 3.0 Hosting Options

 This article explains the hosting options available for IC 3.0, including cloud and on-premise deployments, as well as server setup configurations. You’ll also learn how IC 3.0 can run standalone or side by side with IC 2.0 on the same server, giving your team flexibility as you plan your upgrade or migration. 

Hosting Options

Cloud Hosting

IC 3.0 can be hosted in the cloud, reducing the need for internal server infrastructure and ongoing maintenance. This option is ideal if you want scalability, security, and simplified IT management. Cloud hosting ensures you are always on the latest version without the need for manual upgrades.

On-Premise Hosting

For organizations that prefer to keep their intranet infrastructure within their own IT environment, IC 3.0 is also available as an on-premise deployment. This option provides full control over data, security policies, and server resources while maintaining the new functionality and design of IC 3.0.

Server Setup Options

Standalone Installation

IC 3.0 can be installed on its own dedicated server. This setup ensures complete separation from IC 2.0 and allows for a clean start while your team tests and configures the new version.

Side-by-Side Installation

IC 3.0 can also be installed on the same server as IC 2.0, allowing the two versions to run in parallel. This configuration makes it possible to test IC 3.0 functionality (such as SharePoint integration) while still relying on IC 2.0 for day-to-day use. Running both versions side by side allows for a gradual transition and avoids the need for additional infrastructure.

Flexible Setup

With IC 3.0, you have the flexibility to choose the hosting and server setup that best fits your organization’s needs. Whether you prefer the ease of cloud hosting or the control of on-premise hosting, and whether you want a standalone environment or to run IC 3.0 alongside IC 2.0, you can tailor the setup to support your IT strategy and migration timeline.
