Deployment

Your data, your way.

Run Priority One on your own hardware, or let us host it in the cloud. It is the same product either way — and either way, the data is yours.

On-premises

Your servers. Your building. Your control.

The database and application server run on hardware inside your facility. Your data never leaves your network unless you want it to — ideal for agencies with existing IT or strict data-sovereignty requirements.

  • Data sovereignty — SQL Server on your hardware, behind your firewall
  • No internet dependency for core dispatch — if the line drops, you keep dispatching
  • Full control of backups, maintenance windows and configuration
Cloud · AWS

We host it. We manage it. You dispatch.

Priority One runs on Amazon Web Services. We handle the servers, backups, updates and uptime monitoring, so your team focuses on operations rather than IT.

  • Amazon RDS for SQL Server with automated backups and point-in-time recovery
  • Encryption at rest and in transit, and automated patching
  • Consoles and MDTs connect over TLS — no server room, no VPN for your crews

Hybrid deployments. Some agencies run a local server for dispatch and replicate to AWS for offsite backup and disaster recovery. Talk to us about the right architecture for yours.
