Introduction

Although XTM Cloud, as a translation management system provider, offers cloud-based CAT software, there are several server variants to choose from when subscribing to XTM Cloud.

There are three types of XTM Cloud product that you can purchase:

  1. Public Cloud,

  2. Private Cloud (PVC),

  3. Suite (on-premise).

Private Cloud and Suite can be collectively labeled as standalone servers: in contrast to Public Cloud, standalone clients have their own separate servers so that they do not share system resources with any other clients.
