# On-Prem vs. Cloud

## On-Premises vs Cloud Offering

Based on the requirements, each organization can choose between the Cloud and On-Premises versions. Table below describes the features available in each of the versions:

### On-Premises Installation

IZ Analyzer Server Plugin will be distributed through the appropriate release channel ([IZ Releases](https://support.integralzone.com)), which can be installed on the [SonarQube™](https://www.sonarqube.org) server maintained by the Organization.

A license key will be provided as part of the onboarding process, which has to be configured as part of initial setup.

{% hint style="info" %}
Systems from which the source code analysis will be invoked from should be able to communicate with IZ License Manager to validate the license (For example: a Jenkins instance).
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledgebase.autorabit.com/product-guides/integral-zone/iz-analyzer/on-prem-vs.-cloud.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
