M-Files cloud, on-premise or hybrid

What does your ideal IT environment look like - cloud-based, on-premise or hybrid?

With M-Files, the choice is yours. Use M-Files on-premises, in the cloud or as a hybrid solution with a single licence subscription. Easy deployment and automatic updates enable organisations to improve efficiency and enjoy the benefits of M-Files from day one.

Cloud

Manage your documents and information without investing in local server infrastructure and maintenance, and make it easier than ever to access files and content from anywhere. Access content from the M-Files vault as well as from your organisation's other (existing) data storage locations.

  • Same user experience as on-premise
  • Flexible scalability
  • Always up-to-date
  • Enterprise security
  • Easily connect on-premise servers
  • Migrating local repositories to the cloud and vice versa

Uniform user experience

M-Files is the first content services platform to offer the same user-friendly user experience in the cloud compared to On-premise deployments.

Flexible scalability

M-Files runs on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and uses the highly scalable and reliable cloud platform and geographically distributed data centres to provide fast service.

Always up-to-date

With the M-Files cloud, you are provided with automatic updates so that your organisation is always working with the latest version of the platform.

Enterprise security

The M-Files cloud is monitored 24/7 by a dedicated team. The cloud is certified for the ISO 27001:2013 standard and the quality system meets the ISO 9001:2015 standard.

But know about the security of M-Files?

In addition to several active security measures within the platform and infrastructure, data is always encrypted (at rest) and during transmission. You can also enable several additional security measures in M-Files, such as multi-factor authentication and dedicated secure network connections.

On-premise

An on-premises deployment is best suited to organisations that have already invested in existing servers and systems, or that for legal reasons need to use an on-premises solution deployed behind the organisation's own firewall. However, M-Files makes it possible to make these secure deployments externally accessible in a secure and smart way, from any device.

Hybrid

Does your organisation currently have existing records or other content? Leave them in place and enrich this content with M-Files thanks to its hybrid form of cloud and on-premise. 

With a hybrid deployment of M-Files, organisations can leverage both their existing investments in on-premise technology and cloud capabilities.

Moreover, M-Files cloud can be seamlessly integrated with existing on-premise systems such as ERP or CRM, like SAP or Microsoft Dynamics GP and AX. Conversely, an on-premise deployment of M-Files can be easily integrated into existing cloud-based business applications, such as Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics Online or NetSuite.

The same client options (M-Files Desktop, M-Files Web or any of the M-Files mobile applications) are also available for organisations using a hybrid server implementation.
