On-Premises SharePoint is a deployment model where organizations host their SharePoint servers within their own data centers. This traditional approach provides a comprehensive set of features and benefits, including:

• Enhanced Security: Organizations have full control over security measures, ensuring data protection.


• Customization: Extensive customization options allow tailoring SharePoint to specific organizational needs.


• No Internet Dependency: Ideal for organizations with limited or no internet access.


• Complete Data Control: Organizations retain full control over data storage, backup, and recovery processes.


• Regulatory Compliance: Suited for industries with strict regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance.

On-Premises SharePoint offers a robust solution for organizations seeking complete control over their collaboration platform. However, it comes with considerations such as the need for dedicated IT infrastructure, server maintenance, and manual updates.

The deployment of On-Premises SharePoint involves careful planning to ensure optimal performance and adherence to organizational policies.

The installation of On-Premises SharePoint involves a series of steps and considerations for setting up servers within the organization's infrastructure:

• Server Requirements: Typically requires multiple servers for various roles, such as web, application, and database servers.


• Infrastructure Setup: Involves planning and configuring servers, databases, and network infrastructure for optimal performance.


• Licensing: Organizations need to purchase appropriate licenses based on user and server requirements to comply with Microsoft licensing policies.


• Maintenance: Regular maintenance tasks include applying updates, monitoring server health, and ensuring system reliability.

While On-Premises SharePoint offers a high level of control, many organizations are gradually transitioning to SharePoint Online for its cloud-based advantages. SharePoint Online provides automatic updates, scalability, and simplified maintenance, allowing organizations to focus more on their core business activities.
