Ekara Private Platform: DEM for Total Control and Data Sovereignty
What Is a “Self-Hosted” Ekara Deployment?
A self-hosted or on-premise deployment means your organization fully installs, administers, and operates the entire Ekara digital experience monitoring (DEM) platform within your own IT environment.
With Ekara Private Platform, your monitoring infrastructure — from robots to central components — is entirely hosted and managed on your premises, in your own data centers, or within your private cloud.
This deployment model is ideal for organizations that must meet strict compliance, sovereignty, or security policies. It ensures that all monitoring data and operations remain completely under your control.
How Ekara Private Platform Works
Ekara Private Platform is available as a licensed on-premise installation dedicated to each customer.
It delivers advanced observability and synthetic monitoring capabilities through Ekara Private Robots, which simulate real user interactions with your digital applications.
Installation and Operation
The self-hosted deployment includes the setup of:
Ekara Private Platform
(the central monitoring infrastructure including databases and administration modules)
Ekara Private Robots
(synthetic agents operating within your environment)
Your IT team can install and operate the solution autonomously, or choose optional support and expertise from Ekara’s specialists:
- Customer Success Team (CST)
- Ekara Consultants
- Ekara Training modules
These resources ensure seamless implementation and long-term performance optimization.
Why Choose a Self-Hosted Deployment?
1. Total Data Sovereignty
Keep your monitoring data entirely within your own infrastructure. No performance data, user information, or configuration details ever leave your network. This provides 100% data residency and ensures immunity from foreign data access requests — a key advantage for public sector, defense, and regulated industries.
2. Compliance and Security
Ekara Private Platform aligns perfectly with organizations that have stringent internal compliance policies, allowing full control over system access, network architecture, and data lifecycle.
3. Customization and Integration
Adapt the platform to fit your internal IT environment, infrastructure constraints, and security frameworks. Integrate seamlessly with your existing IT Service Management (ITSM) tools or custom monitoring systems.

FAQ
What other deployment models are available for Ekara?
Best if you want a fully managed service with zero infrastructure to maintain. ip-label maintains the robots (shared robots) as well as Ekara Central (encompassing databases, administration, storage).
Ideal if you want control over your own measurement robots (private robots), but prefer ip-label to manage the storage, databases, and administration infrastructure in the cloud. You can even use the hybrid deployment (private robots) in tandem with the full SaaS Ekara Cloud (shared robots)!
Suitable if strict compliance or security policies require that the entire monitoring infrastructure (robots + central components) be hosted within your own IT environment.
What’s the difference between “Private Platform” and “Private Robots”?
The complete self-hosted monitoring solution, including central infrastructure and private robots.
Synthetic monitoring agents installed and operated by your teams on your premises.
They are used in both self-hosted and hybrid deployments, whereas the SaaS deployment uses shared robots managed by ip-label.
Who manages updates and maintenance?
In self-hosted deployments, customers manage updates and maintenance independently. However, Ekara’s support and consulting teams can provide guidance or manage upgrades on request.
Can we migrate from Cloud or Hybrid to Private Platform later?
Yes. Ekara’s architecture supports flexible migration paths, allowing you to transition between deployment models as your compliance or operational needs evolve.
