Deployment flexibility just got better: Tableau on Linux is here!

Once you've decided on the operating system, the choice becomes how to deploy: on-premise (on a VM or physical machine) or in the public cloud (on AWS, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure). Oh, and if you don't want to maintain a server at all, Tableau Online is a great option.

There are advantages to being able to choose how you want to deploy. With an on-premise server, you have complete control - from the hardware to the security protocols. Hosting a server in the public cloud lets you scale faster because someone else is managing the hardware and you can quickly modify the size.

Having options is important because each organization has unique protocols they need to follow and a diverse user group to consider. Maybe you're currently running on-premise applications, but moving towards a goal of operating in the cloud. Tableau fits into that strategy. There's no need to worry about losing content or having to start over.

Concerned about getting all your users access to Tableau Server? First, we make it easy by letting you choose which type of authentication to use: AD, SAML, Kerberos, or LDAP. Then, choose the appropriate permissions per user or group them together to make managing them much easier.
