Deploy Akto on a Hybrid SaaS Model

You can now deploy Akto on a Hybrid SaaS Model! This model allows you to take advantage of the scalability and cost-efficiency of SaaS while retaining control over specific aspects of your software environment.

Why Hybrid SaaS?

Akto’s Hybrid SaaS model can mitigate many of the challenges of an on-premises deployment (In Virtual Private Cloud) for businesses. Akto takes on the responsibility of hosting and maintaining most of the infrastructure, reducing the burden on your business. This can result in significant cost savings, as you only need to maintain the components of the system hosted on your own infrastructure.

Here are the major advantages:

1. Better Infrastructure Management: Since fewer resources are hosted in your VPC, Hybrid SaaS reduces the burden of managing infrastructure.

2. Cost Efficiency: By leveraging Akto services, businesses avoid high upfront costs on hardware and software licenses. Hybrid SaaS allows scaling resources as needed, minimizing unnecessary expenses and reducing the need for extensive IT staff.

3. Improved Support and Maintenance: Hybrid SaaS enhances support with remote troubleshooting and updates, ensuring faster issue resolution and minimizing downtime, unlike traditional on-premises deployments.

How can you set it up?

In our Hybrid SaaS model, Akto hosts most of the application and its infrastructure, while you, the user, host a portion of the system on your infrastructure or VPC.

Now, you can deploy a mini run-time service in your VPC and bring all API data to the Akto SaaS dashboard, accessible via app.akto.io.
