PROS Cloud
Secure cloud solutions you can rely on.
PROS Cloud Architecture
The PROS Cloud is delivered globally under a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model hosted on Microsoft Azure
The PROS Cloud communicates securely with your existing IT infrastructure over HTTPS
Secure Data Centers Worldwide
PROS positions its data centers in optimal geographic locations to minimize latency and observe local legislative requirements. We utilize strategically positioned data centers within the Global Microsoft Azure network.
PROS data centers are deployed in primary and secondary pairs for backup and failover.
There are currently PROS data center pairs in the Americas, northern and central Europe, and Australia, with further locations planned.
We regularly evaluate data center expansion to enhance services for our global customers.
Scalability, Elasticity, and Resilience
PROS Cloud is built on Microsoft Azure and specifically configured with elasticity to scale to meet your performance requirements.
We’ve architected our SaaS solution to be highly available:
- Azure’s hyperscale data centers offer a wide range of resilient, secure, compliant, performant, and sustainable services
- Secondary data centers receive data backups
- A secondary data center is located at least 150 miles (240 km) away from the primary for high availability
- There is automated failover from the secondary data center in event of primary data center loss
The PROS Cloud team performs weekly full and daily incremental backups. PROS has a defined Recovery Point Objective (RPO) and Recovery Time Objective (RTO) for each solution. Scheduled backups are audited regularly and restore functionality is tested periodically to support disaster recovery planning.
Product support is a vital part of the total PROS customer experience. We’re dedicated to ensuring issues are resolved to your full satisfaction. Contact your PROS representative for details on our suite of product support offerings.

State-of-the-art Security Infrastructure
PROS deploys a state-of-the-art network security infrastructure. We utilize firewall and Intrusion Prevention System technologies to analyze network traffic and guard against attacks. For Host Security, PROS deploys an advanced antimalware solution that uses a pure machine learning approach to determine malicious activity. The solution can detect threats without relying on signature-based technology and techniques. A sophisticated host-based incident response tool hunts and captures threat activity in almost real time in conjunction with a powerful tool that can model and track the introduction of known good changes in systems and protect from non-trusted changes.
User Authentication
PROS Best Practice approach for installations is to leverage our customers’ current corporate identity management solution. Single Sign On (SSO) is the PROS preferred method. Where an SSO approach is used to integrate to an existing application infrastructure, we can leverage the Security Assertion Markup Language standard (SAML 2.0) as well as Microsoft Azure Active Directory.
Data Encryption
All data at rest is encrypted with an AES 256bit cipher. Data in motion is sent over HTTPS and TLS 1.2 where possible and again encrypted with an AES 256bit cipher. Encryption keys are held and protected as per key management best practices.
