Structural deployment types

Self-hosted Tonic Structural instance

You can deploy a self-hosted, on-premises instance of Tonic Structural.

For a self-hosted instance, Structural provides administrator tools that allow you to monitor Structural services and manage Structural users.

You can configure Structural environment settings to customize your instance.

On a self-hosted instance, based on your license plan, you have access to the full set of supported data connectors.

Structural Cloud

Structural Cloud is our secure hosted environment. On Structural Cloud, Tonic handles monitoring Structural services and updating Structural.

Structural Cloud does not include:

• Single sign-on (SSO) for user management

• Environment setting configuration. Structural Cloud uses a single configuration.

• Structural data encryption

• Access to the following data connectors:

  • Amazon Redshift

  • Most Spark-based data connectors (Amazon EMR, Spark SDK, Spark with Livy)

Structural Cloud also supports a pay-as-you-go plan, where free trial users can move on to set up a monthly subscription. For more information, go to Setting up and managing a Structural Cloud pay-as-you-go subscription.

Each Structural Cloud user belongs to a Structural Cloud organization, which is determined either by the user's email domain or by a workspace invitation. Structural Cloud users do not have any access to workspaces or users from other organizations.

Each free trial user is in a separate organization, along with any users that they invite to have access to a free trial workspace.

For information about Structural Cloud organizations, go to Structural organizations.

The Account Admin permission set allows a Structural Cloud user to manage organization users and workspaces. For information about granting access to the Account Admin permission set, go to Granting Account Admin access for a Structural Cloud organization.
