Plauti Deduplicate on Plauti Cloud is the Cloud-hosted alternative to Plauti Desktop and Server. Both tools process Deduplicate Jobs outside Salesforce to speed up the job processing, especially for large jobs. Plauti Cloud has some advantages over Plauti Desktop/Server, such as running jobs in parallel.
Jobs on Plauti Cloud can be started manually, by selecting jobs to start, or automatically, as soon as a job is available for starting. For the latter you don't even need to log onto Plauti Cloud, jobs are started fully automated.
Plauti Cloud hosting
Deduplicate on Plauti Cloud is hosted on Azure. Every single Deduplicate job that you start gets its own server. This temporary server is completely locked off, with no connection to the outside world, even Plauti cannot access it. The server can only send job status updates to Plauti Cloud, and only send and receive encrypted data from and to your Dynamics 365 environment.
As Plauti Cloud job servers only run when they're needed, Plauti Cloud is more environmentally friendly than Plauti Server. The downside is that starting up a new server takes a few minutes, so there is a start-up time for each new job.
