In an era where security, compliance, and flexibility are paramount, RiverMeadow’s Private Deployment Model stands out as a critical enabler for secure, scalable, and accelerated cloud migration. By offering both a SaaS and private deployment option, RiverMeadow gives enterprises the freedom to choose the deployment path that best aligns with their security posture, regulatory environment, and operational needs.
RiverMeadow’s Private Deployment Model allows customers to run RiverMeadow’s full-featured cloud migration platform entirely within their own data centers or private cloud infrastructure. This model supports both VM-based and OS-based migration strategies and includes all the capabilities available in the public SaaS version—including automation, workload modernization, and cross-cloud workload mobility.
The Private Deployment Model is delivered as a single, downloadable OVF virtual appliance that can be deployed into any vSphere environment (or made available in native cloud formats if needed). This appliance orchestrates migrations securely and efficiently, with support from RiverMeadow for installation, upgrades, and operations.
🔒 Enhanced Security and Control
For industries like finance, healthcare, and government where data security and compliance are non-negotiable, the Private Deployment Model offers a secure environment where all migration data and operational workflows are self-contained. The deployment is not internet-facing, and sensitive information such as source machine configurations and credentials are encrypted and retained only within the customer’s private infrastructure.
Additional security highlights include:
⚙️ Deployment Flexibility
RiverMeadow’s platform can be easily deployed on customer infrastructure in a matter of minutes. It supports both VM- and OS-level migrations, including operating system modernization. Whether you're moving from physical, virtual, or cloud sources to vSphere, AWS, Azure, GCE, or OpenStack, RiverMeadow provides flexible migration paths.
The platform is agnostic to the source and target clouds, allowing migrations between private, hybrid, or public cloud environments without changing tooling. This makes it ideal for multi-cloud or hybrid-cloud strategies.
🔁 Full Feature Parity with SaaS
All features available in RiverMeadow’s hosted SaaS model—such as automation, scheduling, OS modernization, and gold-plating (integration of security, monitoring, and backup tooling)—are also included in the private deployment. This ensures that customers don't compromise functionality for the sake of security.
📈 Performance & Scalability
The architecture of the private model is designed for performance at scale:
RiverMeadow’s private deployment also supports modular scaling with multiple appliances and worker nodes—ideal for high-volume or geographically distributed migration projects.
🚨 Security-Conscious Enterprises
Organizations operating under strict compliance frameworks (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP) benefit from the Private Deployment Model's ability to isolate workloads and prevent data leakage.
🛠️ System Integrators and Partners
For managed service providers or system integrators executing migrations on behalf of clients, the private model allows hosting within the partner’s private cloud, giving them full control over the project environment without sacrificing customer data security.
🌐 Global Enterprises with Decentralized IT
Multi-national organizations with globally dispersed IT environments can use private deployments to execute regional migrations, ensuring compliance with local data residency laws and improving network efficiency.
With increasing regulatory demands and growing concerns around data sovereignty, RiverMeadow’s Private Deployment Model represents a forward-thinking, customer-centric approach to cloud migration. It allows organizations to migrate with confidence—knowing that their workloads, credentials, and sensitive data are protected and under their full control.
If your enterprise is planning a cloud transformation and requires the highest standards of security, flexibility, and performance, RiverMeadow’s Private Deployment Model might just be the strategic advantage you’re looking for.
