| New! Matterport Cloud Hosting on Non-Matterport AWS Servers Hi All, The Matterport media release distributed this morning (Thursday, 26 August 2021) includes this paragraph: --- As part of its multi-cloud strategy, Matterport plans to deploy its platform to Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud (US) to address specific regulatory and compliance requirements, including conformity with heightened cybersecurity requirements. This move will enable U.S. government agencies that acquire and manage sensitive information to use the Matterport subscription platform and services. --- (I believe) this is the first time that Matterport will offer Matterport hosting on non-Matterport Amazon Web Services (AWS) servers. This signals to me that Matterport may now be willing to allow major big brands, such as global hotel chains, to host Matterport tours within their AWS accounts. Shortly after I bought my Matterport Pro 3D Camera in July 2014, I met with a major, global hotel chain that was very receptive to Matterport, but required self-hosting on their AWS account. At that time, Matterport told me - not going to happen! (I had a similar conversation with Matterport about a police department that said Matterport was a non-starter as long as the processing and hosting took place on Matterport's AWS account. (The police department was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for LiDAR scanning gear and training and felt that Matterport tours was a much more affordable solution.) Do you work with global brands that would be receptive to Matterport if the big brands could self host on their AWS account? Sounds like that is a possibility, now that Matterport has opened the door to Non-Matterport AWS server hosting. Your thoughts? Best, Dan |

| Dan - I have big clients that have requested and would benefit from this, my concern is that Matterport use it as a competitive advantage to offer their own capture services and thus another hurdle for us to jump over! | ||

| Hi Dan, I have had clients who want to host locally as they just want the scan for internal purposes. Things like staff training and company anniversary events where the scan is to be limited to staff and clients. I’ve often recommended they use the password feature but they tend to just end up making a cheaper virtual tour with someone else and put it on a password protected webpage. |

| You can make a Matterport tour for them, then publish on Google, grab it from there with Pano2VR and build a self hosted tour from it. You will lose in resolution but you will get a tour that is linked already. Even though it has an excessive linking that needs to be deleted to make a user experience better. | ||
