You can also purchase a Premium Plus plan, which provides all the features of the Premium plan, with the addition of Regional Fallback.

With Regional Fallback, a copy of your database and FileDocuments is maintained in a completely separate region. For example, if your app normally runs in us-east-1, a copy of your data is made in us-west-2. If all the AZs in the primary region become unavailable, you can then choose to run your app temporarily in the secondary region with the data that has been copied to that region. Once the primary region is back online, you can then revert your app to running in the primary region.

Because this is designed for a catastrophic regional failure, there are some limitations to your normal operations. For example, you cannot deploy a new version of the app while it is running in the secondary region. The decision to switch to the secondary region is completely under your control.

#### On-Premises and Private Cloud

If you want to deploy your Mendix apps to other environments, you can add these to your Mendix plan. For example, you can choose to deploy to [SAP BTP](/developerportal/deploy/sap-cloud-platform/). You can also choose to deploy to your own cloud using [Mendix for Private Cloud](/developerportal/deploy/private-cloud/).
