Third-Party Solutions — Deployment and Management
This page provides a high-level guide to deploying and operating Third-Party Solutions in CloudRaya Marketplace.
Third-Party Solutions are services powered by partner software and licenses, deployed and operated on CloudRaya-managed infrastructure, and managed through a unified CloudRaya subscription and billing experience.
Use this page as a starting point. For service-specific operations, follow the dedicated guides for each solution.
What Are Third-Party Solutions?
Third-Party Solutions are managed services delivered on CloudRaya infrastructure using partner-provided software and licenses.
They are designed for:
- Backup and cyber protection
- Business email and collaboration
- Security, compliance, and SaaS platforms
- Enterprise productivity services
Unlike Serverless Containers, you are not deploying an application stack.
You are subscribing to a managed service plan that CloudRaya provisions and operates for you.
