Pricing and deployment
Combine licensing and infrastructure around budget, data control and maintenance requirements. Customer-managed deployments include ongoing system support; with a KFSMS dedicated server, we also configure the environment for messaging workloads and continue handling server and network issues.
Step 01Licensing
Both models provide the complete KFSMS system and support for system issues. Choose according to investment timing and long-term plans.
Lower the initial investment and launch sooner
Use KFSMS month by month with maintenance and technical support included, giving growing teams more financial flexibility.
The monthly fee excludes servers and messaging channels. A KFSMS dedicated server can be added separately.
Secure long-term use with one license purchase
Purchase a perpetual KFSMS license with ongoing standard version upgrades and greater freedom over deployment and migration.
System support remains available. Server and messaging channel fees are separate.
Step 02Deployment choice
Deploy KFSMS in your facility, cloud, IDC or designated server, or choose a dedicated physical server that we configure for messaging workloads, deploy, host and maintain.
Use dedicated physical hardware configured and optimized for KFSMS messaging workloads, with deployment, a fixed outbound IP and ongoing maintenance provided through a KF facility.
Best suited to
Teams that want one team to manage deployment and ongoing support across the system, hardware and network.
Use your own data center, public cloud, existing IDC or designated server while KFSMS assists with environment review, deployment and launch.
Best suited to
Teams with existing server or cloud resources that want to retain infrastructure control.
Messaging channel fees are separate. Server, network and hosting specifications are recommended according to actual operating scale.
KFSMS dedicated server
A KF operated facility configures physical servers around KFSMS task scheduling, data processing and network requirements, then completes system deployment and outbound IP setup. The same team remains available for system, hardware and network troubleshooting after launch.
Run KFSMS and business data on non-shared hardware with an environment adjusted for messaging tasks, data and connections.
Use a dedicated outbound address that can be adjusted when network and business requirements change.
The customer owns the server after purchase while KFSMS continues to provide hosting and maintenance.
Our professional technical team helps diagnose system, server and network issues across the full environment.
