Nines self-hosted household management solution

Data privacy is a top priority for family offices, and at Nines, we share a deep commitment to protecting the sensitive information around our clients’ properties and assets.

Now, we’re excited to introduce a new option for family offices who want even greater control over their data: a Docker-based self-hosted solution, so you can get all of the same benefits of our cloud-based household management software, while hosting the data on your own servers.

With the self-hosted version of Nines, clients gain:

• Full control over their data and infrastructure
• Opportunities to integrate with internal tools and legacy systems
• The ability to leverage Nines in remote, offline or highly restricted environments

“Our organization works with a number of Family Offices that are highly focused on security and privacy, preferring to have complete internal control over their data,” says Conner Wilkinson, CEO and Founder of Cascade Technology Services. “Nines is the only Estate Management platform that offers a private hosted model that has checked all of our customer requirements.”

Clients who use the self-hosted version of Nines still get access to regular updates and improvements, as well as dedicated support from our team.

“Beyond the software itself, we have appreciated our partnership with Nines,” says Conner. “Their team listens to feedback, proposes solutions and ensures initiatives are carried over the goal line.”

Who should consider the self-hosted version of Nines?

Nines is built with security first, and is backed by AWS’ highest available security standards, so our cloud-based platform meets the security standards of most families and family offices.

The self-hosted solution is designed for family offices with robust internal infrastructure and strict compliance requirements.

If you answer yes to any or all of the following questions, your organization may be well-suited for the self-hosted solution:

• Do you have internal team members dedicated to data security and compliance, who can manage a self-hosted solution?
• Do you need to build integrations between Nines and your proprietary systems?
• Do users need to access your household management system in remote locations without internet connectivity, or in an air-gapped, offline, or highly restricted environment?

If you answered no to the questions above, then our simple, flexible cloud-based solution is probably the right fit for your organization.

How does the self-hosted solution work?

With the Docker-based self-hosted solution, Nines runs in a container on your own on-premise or cloud-based servers. We’ll let you know every time we have new releases so you can connect and update your container on a schedule that works for you.

The self-hosted solution gives you nearly all of the same benefits as our cloud-based solution, with a handful of limitations around features that depend on access to the cloud or third-party tools. In these scenarios, we provide workarounds and guidance to help you configure your own setup.

What are the added benefits of using a self-hosted solution?

For family offices with dedicated security infrastructure, an self-hosted solution offers greater control and an opportunity to reduce exposure to external threats.

In addition, a self-hosted solution allows you to:

• Run the platform closer to your users and systems for faster response times, regardless of internet speed
• Configure hardware, OS, and network settings to match your policies
• Gain enhanced control over access, network isolation, and audit readiness

Whether you’re operating in a secure environment, need to meet strict compliance standards, or simply prefer full control over your infrastructure, our Docker-based self-hosted version of Nines gives you the flexibility and freedom to run our software your way.
