standalone systems

Operate without integration

Standalone systems are computers or devices that operate independently, without connection to a network or reliance on other machines.

The term distinguishes self-contained equipment from networked or distributed systems: The lab uses standalone systems to prevent data breaches.

In software contexts, a standalone application runs without requiring other programs or an internet connection.
