On-premises eDiscovery options after 2028, compared.
Relativity Server is a well-established platform. Under Relativity's announced policy, new matters created on or after January 1, 2028 must be hosted in RelativityOne, its cloud platform. Existing Server matters created before then will continue to be supported, and Relativity has referenced limited geographic and use-case exceptions. This guide compares platforms that can run on customer-controlled infrastructure.

Questions to ask before you choose
Where will my data be hosted, and who controls the encryption keys?
Can the platform run without internet access?
Is the AI available on-premises, or only in the vendor's cloud?
How is pricing calculated: per GB, per user, or license?
Can it import Relativity workspaces, coding, and productions?
Can legacy and new matters run in parallel during the transition?
