No, currently Cocomo is only offered as a service hosted by
Adobe.



If you have any particular reason to prefer local hosting vs.
a hosted service please drop us a note. It will help us validate
our strategy.

Hi,



Sorry - I'm not sure I understand your question. If you are
talking about hosting your own Cocomo servers on-premise, then
Raff's answer is correct. As for the apps that you've built on
Cocomo, you can host those anywhere you like.



Thanks,

I just wanted to re-iterate what Fang is saying here - your
SWF file can be *anywhere* you want to host it, and Cocomo should
generally work just fine. On the other hand, the Cocomo services
are hosted by Adobe, and we don't currently have any way to host
those services on-premise.



hope that helps

I'm also interested in whether it will be possible in the
future to host this service locally because my company is very
focused on security due to the nature of our business. It's nearly
impossible for us to implement any communication system that
requires traffic to go outside our network.

This is a good question for me, too. I have an app which has
security requirements, which I want to port to Cocomo.
Additionally, that app can use anywhere up to 200 MB per user per
hour, in live and recorded video. I have concerns about the pricing
model which might put us straight out of the ballpark. Anything you
can do to reassure us on this would be welcome, as we have to make
a decision on comitting resources to Cocomo in the next few
days.

Ditto on the need for an internally hosted solution for
security, availability, and volume/performance reasons.

Hi All,



Cool, we're hearing your requests - so far, the majority of
what we've been hearing has been supportive of the hosted solution,
so we've been focusing predominantly on this. We are taking steps
to figure out what it would mean to license deployments of the
service (note: there are multiple machines involved in the service,
this isn't as simple as an FMS or Java install). But we want to
solve one problem at a time, and right now hosted is it.



As for devhe2007's security concerns, I'd like to drill in
more on this - is the app in question intranet-only? If this is the
case, at present Cocomo isn't a good fit for you.



Rick - what are the performance reasons you're referring to?



Lastly, to CDGD, I'd be curious to know what you think is a
reasonable way of pricing? We're going to be engaging in a more
public discussion about pricing in the months ahead, but right now
we're all about making the service as good as it needs to be before
we start charging.



thanks all for the feedback

Hi, I'm looking at Cocomo too with mind to building some
webnomics 2.0 applications.

We have been discussing how to present our service and it
involves the decisions about hosting on behalf of clients and also
allowing them to host their own installation of our product.



In a previous decision regarding another project, it was felt
important to have control over the back-end as 'the company's'. A
previous system had the company 'locked in' to using a vendor due
to them hosting a large part of it; and any access and changes to
that part had to go through the vendor.



This kind of issue sounds like it would happen with an Adobe
hosted cocomo.

For both the above 'sense of ownership and control' reasons
and the 'technical and business' control reason Cocomo would be
more attractive in our opinion as both an Adobe hosted service and
a service developers can install themselves.



Unless Adobe gives total control over the installation space
I feel people will want to do their own installations.

Otherwise people might as well use a Streaming Media Server
and AS3.



I think one question I also have is: Will developers be able
to alter the server-side scripts if they have particular services
they wish to include?

Also with that in mind, is it possible to customise Pods
without having to alter server-side scripts.
