Hosted vs. On-Prem Connectors

Learn the differences between hosted and on-prem connectors in C1 and when to use each for secure, reliable identity syncs.

Main Takeaways

Hosted connectors run fully in C1’s cloud and require no customer infrastructure, making them the simplest way to sync identities and entitlements.
On-prem connectors are deployed inside your network to reach systems that aren’t publicly accessible or require internal connectivity.
Both connector types perform secure, continuous syncs, but on-prem deployments give you full control over network boundaries and data flow.
Choosing the right connector type ensures reliable access data, complete visibility, and smooth onboarding into C1.
