Adobe Connect deployment options
Hosted
Start collaborating immediately with just a Web browser, Flash and an internet connection. Adobe manages everything for you so there’s no complicated hardware or software to install, setup or maintain.
On-premise
Deploy Adobe Connect behind your firewall and integrate it with your existing IT infrastructure, giving you complete control over how you set up and manage your environment.
Managed services
Outsource your IT management to us and we’ll take care of installation, upgrade and management while you retain the benefit of control, additional security options, and customizability of an on-premise deployment.
