Microsoft Dynamics 365 On-Premises

With the Dynamics 365 On-premise deployment you will be able to run your business processes and transactions within your on premise IT Infrastructure. You would have the option to turn ON or OFF the cloud synchronization of your business data to Microsoft cloud. However, if you chose to not replicate your business data into the Microsoft cloud, you will not be able to leverage the benefits of Microsoft cloud such as Machine Learning, Telemetry, embedded BI and more. The Dynamics 365 on-premise deployment option is called as Local Business Data option.

Dynamics 365 On-premises deployment option gives complete control of the management and maintenance of your business data in-house:

• Run and maintain your own server
• Handle all upgrades and updates internally
• Avoid having any data store limit
• Subscribe or purchase different types of licenses based on Microsoft Volume Licensing
• Create your own SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) reports

Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance and Operations (on-premises) can work on networks that use Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6).
