DataSight is traditionally offered as an in-house client-server application, however since 2017 we have also offered DataSight in the Cloud subscription. DataSight has been published within a virtual environment on DataSight.Cloud using the Parallels Remote Application Server or RAS. As a cloud solution, users can utilise DataSight and all of its functionalities without installing the client on a local computer or allocating an in-house MS SQL server.
Users benefit from the following advantages of using DataSight Cloud:
- Securely access DataSight on any device
- Access data from many locations (internet required)
- Cut deployment costs of on-premise installation
- Cut additional IT costs for administration
- Cut additional IT software costs (no on site MS SQL licenses required)
- Disaster recovery procedures are implemented and scheduled to protect data
- Lower start up costs
DataSight Cloud seats provide for concurrent usage, allowing a given number of users at any one time to access the subscribed number of seat(s). One seat can have multiple SQL user authentications, to allow more than one user profile access to that DataSight seat while still recording the correct DataSight Processing History.
You can connect to the DataSight.Cloud RAS and access DataSight Cloud either with:
