Deployment Options

This page provides a concise overview of the available deployment models and helps you choose the best option for your organization.

ZigiOps offers flexible deployment options designed to meet the security, compliance, and operational needs of enterprise environments.

Deployment Models Overview

ZigiOps supports the following deployment models:

On-Premise Deployment (Linux or Windows)
ZigiWave-Hosted Cloud Deployment

Both deployment options use the same ZigiOps integration engine and provide a consistent security and functional baseline, including:

FIPS 140-2-compliant encryption for sensitive data
TLS-secured UI and listener endpoints (TLS 1.2 / TLS 1.3)
Support for enterprise-grade security and access controls
Full compatibility with all ZigiOps integration templates

On-Premise Deployment (Linux and Windows)

On-premise deployment gives organizations full control over infrastructure, network access, and operational processes.

Supported Operating Systems

Linux: Installed under /opt/zigiwave/zigiops, managed via systemd service
Windows: Installed under C:\ZigiWave\ZigiOps, running as a Windows service

When to Choose On-Premise

Highly restricted or closed network environments
Strict data residency or regulatory requirements
Environments requiring full control over networking and security
Use cases requiring on-premise listener endpoints
Organizations that need to manage SSL certificates and encryption locally

Availability and Operations

Supports high-availability configurations using a primary/backup model
HA can be implemented on both Linux and Windows
Customers manage installation, upgrades, and infrastructure
ZigiWave Support can assist with installation and upgrades when needed

ZigiWave-Hosted Cloud Deployment

The ZigiWave-hosted cloud option delivers the fastest time-to-value with minimal operational overhead.

Key Characteristics

Each customer receives a dedicated, isolated ZigiOps instance
Single-tenant deployment (multi-tenancy is not currently supported)
Hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Access Model

Secure, dedicated regional URL:
- EU: https://<customer>.zigiwave.eu
- US: https://<customer>.zigiwave.us
Access credentials are provided by ZigiWave
No installation or infrastructure management required

Security and Availability

Each instance is secured with its own SSL certificate
High availability is enabled by default
Monitored with a target uptime of 99%
Dynamic IP addresses by default
A static IP can be assigned on request for customer-side whitelisting

Listener Support in Cloud

Listener (webhook) endpoints are not enabled by default but can be enabled upon customer request, depending on the use case and security requirements.

Updates and Maintenance

Fully managed by ZigiWave
Bug fixes, updates, and new features are delivered by ZigiWave
Updates are applied only after customer approval

Security Overview (All Deployments)

Across all deployment options, ZigiOps applies consistent security controls:

Sensitive data visible in the UI or filesystem is encrypted using a FIPS 140-2-compliant AES/CBC algorithm with a 256-bit key
Encrypted data includes:
- Authentication credentials (passwords, tokens, API keys)
- Security-related HTTP headers (Authorization, Set-Cookie, and others)
- Configuration and log files
All UI and listener endpoints are secured with TLS
Customers can use their own SSL certificates for on-premise deployments

Licensing Overview

ZigiOps uses the same licensing model for both cloud and on-premise deployments.

Deployment

Licensing

On-Premise

ZigiWave provides a license file. Customers apply it to their local ZigiOps instance. High Availability requires additional license files for backup/failover instances.

Cloud

ZigiWave issues and applies licenses transparently as part of the cloud service.
