SELF-HOSTED

Deploy on Your Terms

Store and operate Sonatype on your own hardware. Implement and automate security policies that match your specific risk criteria.

Automate Security

Eliminate unnecessary manual processes. Let Sonatype’s behavioral AI handle policy enforcement.

Keep Control In-House

Prefer to maintain software yourself? Have complete control of your environment, infrastructure, and assets at all times.

Scale with Ease

Self-hosted can be cheaper than cloud hosting. At first. We can help you evaluate your processes and expenses to make the best decision.

Add to Existing Solutions

If you’re already hosting other software on-premise, you may find it easier to continue deploying in-house.

AIR-GAPPED

Deploy in a Zero-Trust Environment

Ensure the highest levels of security and compliance at all stages of development. Government agencies and other highly regulated industries can avoid the public internet and even other network within their organizations.

 

Maximize Security

Air-gapped security keeps your SDLC safe from attacks and theoretical threats.

Scale When You Need

More internal infrastructure means higher costs. Scale when you need, and Sonatype will be there to help ease the transition to other deployments.

Log Data Efficiently

Data updates can take longer in air-gapped environments. Sonatype tools help bridge the gap.

Integrate Seamlessly

Server space and administrative resources are needed before implementing a disconnected model.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What deployment options does Sonatype offer?

Sonatype solutions are available as a cloud deployment hosted in Sonatype’s data center environment, self-hosted or on-premises deployment, and a fully disconnected deployment using the Sonatype Air-Gapped Environment (SAGE).

How do I choose between deployment models?

The Sonatype solutions are available in multiple deployment models to meet the security, infrastructure, and connectivity needs of any organization, helping you choose the option that best aligns with your operational and regulatory requirements.

SaaS (Sonatype-hosted) deployments are fully managed by Sonatype and run in the cloud, offering the fastest time to value with no infrastructure to maintain, automatic updates, and built-in scalability. This model is ideal for teams that want to reduce operational overhead while benefiting from continuously updated intelligence and policies.

On-premises or self-hosted deployments provide full control over where and how the platform runs, making them well suited for organizations with strict data residency, compliance, or integration requirements. Teams can operate Sonatype solutions within their own infrastructure while maintaining alignment with existing security and governance practices.

For highly regulated organizations operating in classified, restricted, or sensitive environments, Sonatype supports fully disconnected deployments through the Sonatype Air-Gapped Environment (SAGE). SAGE enables these organizations to apply the same vulnerability intelligence, policy enforcement, and software supply chain protections without any direct internet access, using tightly controlled, offline update mechanisms that align with strict compliance and security requirements.

Sonatype solutions can be deployed wherever your software development and delivery pipelines operate — from fully cloud-managed environments to the most tightly regulated and disconnected systems.

Can Sonatype solutions run in a disconnected environment?

Yes, Sonatype supports fully disconnected deployments through SAGE, enabling vulnerability intelligence, policy enforcement, and governance without direct internet access.
