01
Define the boundary
Agree hosting location, accounts, network access, secrets, domains, data stores, and ownership responsibilities.
Private cloud or on-premise
Self-hosted EV charging software for infrastructure control
Sock8 can be deployed into customer-controlled infrastructure for organisations that need to own the hosting boundary, data location, network access, and operational change process.
The deployment combines an agreed software licence with installation, environment configuration, documentation, handover, and support. Architecture, availability, observability, backup, and upgrade responsibilities are defined before implementation.
Who it is for
Built for teams accountable for live charging.
- Enterprises with data-residency requirements
- Government and regulated deployments
- CPOs with established platform operations
- Infrastructure owners requiring private networking
Problems it solves
Replace operational blind spots with one system.
- SaaS hosting outside the approved control boundary
- Unclear data residency or infrastructure access
- Dependence on a shared vendor environment
- No defined path for internal operations teams
How it works
A clear path from connection to daily operation.
02
Prepare infrastructure
Provision the approved environments, connectivity, observability, backup, and security controls.
03
Install and validate
Deploy the agreed Sock8 modules and test charger, user, integration, and failure-recovery flows.
04
Handover and operate
Transfer documentation and access, train the operating team, and begin the agreed support cycle.

Pricing information
Scope the commercial model.
Customer-hosted software uses a custom perpetual licence and annual support model. Infrastructure, migration, integrations, and advanced operations are quoted from the agreed scope.
View platform pricingBuyer FAQs
Questions technical and commercial teams ask.
Is customer-hosted the same as managed cloud?+
No. Customer-hosted places the agreed software in customer-controlled infrastructure and assigns operational responsibilities explicitly.
Can Sock8 deploy on-premise?+
Yes, when the target environment and connectivity meet the agreed architecture and support requirements.
Who manages upgrades?+
Upgrade responsibility, testing, maintenance windows, and major-version work are defined in the licence and support scope.
Can Sock8 provide managed DevOps?+
Managed DevOps can be quoted as an additional service for supported customer-controlled environments.
How is pricing determined?+
Pricing depends on modules, scale, environments, integrations, availability, migration work, and the required support coverage.
