Deployments

Choose the deployment model that matches your control boundary.

MSPlex deployment conversations should start with security posture, operator ownership, and rollout speed. Hosted, hybrid, and self-managed models each fit different MSP environments, and the right choice depends on how much of the exchange boundary your team needs to hold directly.

Three rollout models, each with a different operational tradeoff.

Hosted MSPlex

The fastest path to evaluation. MSPlex operates the exchange layer while your team focuses on workflow fit, connector relevance, and security review.

Hybrid control boundary

A fit for MSPs that need part of the control plane or credential boundary to stay closer to internal infrastructure while still reducing rollout friction.

Self-managed deployment

Best for teams that want deeper infrastructure ownership and are prepared to carry more operational responsibility around deployment, upgrades, and monitoring.

Deployment should be driven by control, not preference alone.

01

Set the boundary first

Decide which parts of the auth, audit, and runtime boundary must stay closest to your existing security controls.

02

Choose for rollout speed versus control

Match the deployment model to the speed of rollout you need. Hosted moves faster; self-managed gives more direct infrastructure control.

03

Keep first scope narrow

Use the deployment discussion to narrow scope, not expand it. Keep the first production workflow and first connector set explicit.

Keep deployment framing connected to trust and workflow scope.

Practical note

The right deployment discussion usually happens after the team has identified one or two concrete workflows, not before it knows what it is trying to operate.

Need the deployment discussion grounded in your environment?

Bring your security posture, hosting preferences, and first target workflows. We can map those constraints to the most realistic MSPlex rollout model.
