Overview of Private POP Installation

What is a Private POP?

• Customer-managed POP that can be deployed in any location the organization chooses - such as on-premises, in a private cloud, or at an edge location.
• Acts as a dedicated entry point to the Safous system - tailored to meet the organization's specific security, compliance, and infrastructure needs.
• Provides a hybrid environment - The private POP can be used by on-prem users, while the Safous Global (cloud) POP can enable remote access. In this way, on-prem users have direct access to local data centers without the need to connect to the cloud, while external users use the Safous Global POP to access these same applications.
