on-prem
In-house server deployment
On-prem is short for on-premises, describing software or computing infrastructure hosted locally rather than in the cloud.
Companies with on-prem systems maintain their own servers and data centers: We're still running on-prem, but planning to migrate to AWS next year.
The term emerged as cloud computing made the distinction necessary.
