One Platform... Two Deployment Choices
NileByte LMS runs the same complete feature set in both the cloud and on-premise. The choice is about what fits your school's reality: infrastructure, IT capacity, and data policies.
Cloud Deployment: Fastest and Easiest
- Live in days — no servers to buy or configure
- Access from anywhere — school, home, field trips
- Automatic updates and backups managed for you
- Scales with enrollment — add campuses easily
- Enterprise-grade security in certified data centers
On-Premise Deployment: Full Control
- All data on the school's own servers
- For institutions with strict data-residency requirements
- Works offline within the school network
- Deep integration with existing school systems
How to Decide
| Factor | Cloud suits when… | On-premise suits when… |
|---|---|---|
| Speed to start | You want to begin this term | You can wait for setup |
| IT staff | Limited — we manage it | Dedicated IT team available |
| Data location | Provider-managed | Must be in-house |
| Capital cost | Lower | Higher |
| Multi-campus access | Effortless | Needs network work |
Same Platform, Same Quality
No reduced "cloud version" — the same modules, the same reports, the same support. Choose the deployment that fits your school, and start.
