The type of certification authority system you require depends upon the size of your business operation. Larger organizations tend to have a bit more flexibility to the types of systems they can pick and choose from, as they often have more money to work with in their budgets. It should be pointed out that CA solutions are available for any size organization, with three different delivery options to fit into any budget and satisfy your requirements.
Delivery Options for Obtaining a Certification Authority System
A tradition certification authority system is delivered in two different ways. The first way is where the CA system is offered as a service and is delivered as a managed CA solution. The next way is where the CA system is installed locally using provided software. A third way to deliver a CA system is also available, which is different from the other two traditional methods. This method uses a combination of dedicated, hosted and or shared solutions, where software can be installed locally, for some features, while others are hosted on a remote server.
