Secure Deployment Architecture
ZMDM runs entirely within your own cloud account and VPC, ensuring complete control over your data and infrastructure.
Data Stays in Your VPC
All application data remains inside your own VPC/private cloud — never in a shared, multi-tenant SaaS environment.
Network Isolation
Access restricted to internal networks or VPN/peering, reducing attack surface and simplifying security reviews.
Data Residency Control
Deploy in specific regions or data centers to satisfy data residency and sovereignty requirements.
Your Security Controls
Use your own VPC, subnets, security groups, firewalls, and VPN configurations aligned with your standards.
Controlled Change Windows
Choose maintenance windows, rollback strategies, and release cadence aligned with your change management process.
IP & Custom Logic Protection
Custom workflows, scripts, and business rules live inside your environment alongside your source control.
Complete Data Ownership
Because ZMDM runs in your VPC and uses your own databases and file systems, you retain complete control over data and infrastructure — ensuring a clean exit strategy with no complex data extraction required.
