Needs in-house or outsourced server administrator.ĭataTherapy are one of a number of FileMaker Business Alliance partners that offer managed private FileMaker Cloud Hosted Server which can then be customised and scaled in line with the client’s requirements. It is hard to beat direct Gigabit LAN connection for high performance applications. Can be completely isolated from the internet/limited to LAN access if extreme security is required. This is commonly the case with many of our NHS clients - patient data security is paramount and so is usually strictly limited to LAN access only. Secondly, if there is already significant in-house infrastructure investment and IT support team in place in place then the upfront cost might be significantly mitigated and it will simplify integrating with other internal systems. However, this does ignore the fact that there are some scenarios where there is a significant benefit to an on-premises server: firstly, where data security is paramount there is little arguing that when you have a server that is only accessible from within a LAN and isn’t connected to the internet then it will cannot be attacked remotely from the Internet. For most modern customers, given the myriad advantages in being able to connect to your FileMaker App from any internet connection when it is cloud hosted - few would make an on-premises server their first choice. In the modern, cloud dominated IT landscape, choosing an on-premises server is often seen as an undesirable or legacy option. However, there are trade offs with all of the options so it is worth reviewing the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.

It is just something to be aware of.īut there are other and more subtle differences between the Linux and the Windows / macOS deployment options. This is true in general for all files hosted on FileMaker Cloud and not dependent on whether you use AD FS as your identity provider. Claris ID authentication is not available when the file is not hosted on FileMaker Cloud. You also cannot take a file from FileMaker Cloud and host it on your own server without modifying the accounts setup.
You will need to invite each individual member of your AD Devs group through their Claris ID and manually add them to your FileMaker Cloud Devs group. You can only choose from the groups you set up in your FileMaker Cloud customer console. The AD groups to which the user belongs play no role.
