Tapdata offers two deployment modes, Fully-Managed and Semi-Managed. For security reasons, many customers prefer to keep their data within their own data centers. In this case, you may chooose Semi-Managed mode, then Tapdata’s data processing engine, Tapdata Agent, will be installed on your servers within your data center or cloud VPC. Tapdata will remotely manage the agent, perform automatic upgrades, and other operations. Tapdata Agent does not transfer customer data outside your network, aside from the necessary management traffic such as job configurations & monitoring data . With this deployment, you can achieve maximum data security, but you may need to provide basic maintenance for the server and operating system on which Tapdata Agent runs.
