Differentiate Cloud and On-premises Architecture

An understanding of the underlying architecture of finance and operations will help you appreciate the rich functionality of the user interface. Some architecture components can vary between cloud and on-premises deployments. The on-premises deployment is named Dynamics 365 Finance + Operations (on-premises).

Cloud deployments offer a service that is fully managed by Microsoft, while on-premises deployments are deployed locally within a customer’s data center. Methodologies differ between cloud-hosted and on-premises deployments. The deployment that a business uses will be based on who the desired data trustee is and who will manage the application lifecycle.


Finance + Operations (on-premises) deployment
Organizations that choose to deploy Finance + Operations also need to take ownership of various tasks that would have otherwise been carried out by Microsoft. These tasks include configuring high-availability solutions, disaster recovery solutions, and sandbox environments. Keep in mind that there are functionality differences between on-premises deployments and cloud deployments.
