27.1 Overview
Zoho Creator offers a dedicated On-Premises edition that allows organizations to host their Creator environment within their own infrastructure, behind their own firewall. This caters to organizations with strict data sovereignty, compliance, or security requirements that prohibit third-party cloud hosting (Evaluation Guide — Deploy).
