Many organizations are actively moving toward a cloud-first strategy. Whether that shift is driven by the need for better scalability, remote work support, or security modernization, one thing is clear: IT management isn’t getting any simpler. Most companies are operating in hybrid environments where on-prem and cloud-based systems live side by side.
That’s where Recast Software fits in. We help IT teams manage and secure endpoints wherever they are, be it on-prem, in the cloud, or somewhere in between.
Cloud-Forward IT Without the Growing Pains
Recast Software helps organizations take practical steps toward becoming more cloud-forward. We do this by giving IT teams the visibility and control they need over their environments, without forcing an all-or-nothing move to the cloud.
With solutions like Right Click Tools and the Recast Management Server (RMS), IT pros can manage endpoints across hybrid environments with ease. These tools scale alongside your organization, making them just as valuable in traditional ConfigMgr deployments as they are in modern Intune or Entra ID setups.
A few of the ways Recast supports a cloud-forward approach:
- Hybrid Management: Seamlessly manage devices whether they’re domain-joined, Azure AD-joined, or hybrid.
- Scalable Infrastructure: Start on-prem and grow into the cloud at your own pace.
- Better Visibility: Get the insights you need to maintain compliance and security across every endpoint.
Recast’s goal is simple, help IT teams modernize without losing control of their environments.
Running Recast Management Server in the Cloud
The Recast Management Server (RMS) is the central hub that powers our enterprise tools. It manages permissions, roles, and communication between Recast components. While many organizations still host it on-premises, it’s fully capable of running in a cloud-based virtual machine (VM) today.
Hosting RMS in the cloud gives your IT team flexibility without adding complexity. Whether your goal is reducing hardware dependency or improving remote management, RMS is ready to go.
Here’s what to expect when running RMS in a cloud VM:
- Hybrid Ready: Easily connect your cloud-hosted RMS to on-prem or hybrid environments.
- Streamlined Deployment: Eliminate the need for on-prem hardware while keeping the same level of control.
- Future-Proof Foundation: As identity integrations and cloud management evolve, RMS is built to adapt alongside your infrastructure.
Simply put, RMS is cloud-ready. You can host it wherever it makes the most sense for your organization—on-prem, in a private data center, or in a cloud VM—without sacrificing the control or reliability you rely on.
Your Path Toward a More Cloud-Forward Future
Every organization’s journey from on-prem to the cloud is a little different. Whether you are on-prem, hybrid or cloud-only for your datacenters, endpoint management, and/or identity management, Recast Software can meet you where you are, and move with you as your journey to the cloud evolves.
We make endpoint management simpler, smarter, and more connected so you can focus on delivering IT operations that move your organization forward.
