The Bitrix24 system developers offer two delivery options:

• cloud version (the system is deployed on the servers of Bitrix itself);

• boxed version, which is deployed on your own or rented server / VPS hosting.

As the project and scenarios for using Bitrix24 in the company develop, a situation may arise in which it is necessary to switch from the cloud version of Bitrix24 to the boxed version or vice versa.

The transition between versions of Bitrix24 requires certain preparation, tools for transferring data from one system to another and solving related technical issues. It is also important to check and, if necessary, reconfigure external integrations and applications.

Let's consider the stages of transition in both possible directions.

Transition “cloud → box”

To deploy the boxed version of Bitrix24 and transfer data from the cloud, you must:

1. Purchase a license for the boxed version of the program. The license must correspond to the number of employees.

2. Selectsuitable server/VPS.

3. Deploy boxed Bitrix24.

4. Agree on what data and settings we transfer from the cloud.

5. Transfer data and settings. If necessary, automate the transfer (scripts).

6. Check the functionality of all necessary functionality.

7. Notify all employees to use out-of-the-box Bitrix24 from now on.

Transition “box → cloud”

To launch the cloud version of Bitrix24 and transfer data out of the box, you need to:

1. Purchase a cloud license suitable for functionality, number of employees, and disk space.

2. Agree on what data and settings are transferred out of the box.

3. Transfer data and settings. If necessary, automate the transfer (scripts).

4. Check the functionality of all necessary functionality.

5. Notify all employees to use cloud Bitrix24 from now on.
