Dedicated Perforce Cloud Hosting for Enterprise Teams

When Perforce (P4) runs production, shared infrastructure is not enough. We've been running dedicated Perforce environments since 2015, longer than anyone else. Your team connects and works. We handle everything else.

  • Enterprise capabilities

Built for enterprise Perforce cloud control, security, and scale

Enterprise Perforce environments carry requirements that standard managed hosting does not address: access controls that match your governance model, performance that holds as depot size grows, and a support model calibrated to the criticality of what runs on it. We build Enterprise Cloud around those requirements from day one.

Your Perforce instance runs on dedicated infrastructure that no other customer touches, with dedicated compute, disk I/O, and network. We configure everything to your specifications before your team ever runs a p4 sync.

In a shared environment, every p4 sync and submit competes for disk I/O and network throughput. In your dedicated environment, those resources belong entirely to your team.

Engineers running large depots and binary-heavy changelists notice the difference immediately, not in benchmarks, but in the daily rhythm of work.

"In many cases, Perforce cloud installations are faster than on-prem installations, for a variety of reasons. It's a little bit of black magic in the cloud."

— Tom Tyler, Perforce Inc.

Perforce's default configuration gets teams productive quickly, but does not produce an enterprise security posture. We reconfigure every server to close the gaps left by default installations: access controls, network exposure, authentication enforcement, and audit logging. IP allowlisting, SSO, and data residency are configured to your governance requirements. Full security documentation available on request.

Premium 24x5 support, managed updates, and backup schedules aligned to your recovery requirements. When something needs attention, we handle it scoped to your deployment, not from a standard support playbook.

Game studios running Unity for game development rely on Perforce (P4) for version control of large assets that Git and Unity's built-in version control cannot handle at scale. Enterprise Cloud gives those teams dedicated infrastructure for large binary files, 3D assets, and production pipelines, with the performance and isolation that shared hosting cannot provide. Over 150 studios worldwide trust us to run their P4 environments, including Two Point Studios, Romero Games, and Camouflaj.

Game studios and media teams
managing large binary files, 3D assets, and production pipelines that Git cannot handle at scale.

Enterprise engineering teams
with strict security, compliance, and governance requirements that shared infrastructure cannot meet.

Teams migrating from self-hosted Perforce
On AWS or on-premises, looking to cut infrastructure costs and operational overhead without losing control.

Organizations with distributed teams
Across multiple regions that need consistent, low-latency p4 performance without managing their own edge infrastructure.
  • Architecture

Deployment architecture built around your requirements

There is no standard architecture for Enterprise Cloud. We design yours during scoping: based on how your teams are distributed, how your depot profile grows, your recovery requirements, and your access control model. Single-tenant dedicated instance, global deployment with proxy and edge replication, custom backup and RTO/ RPO planning. We cover everything during the scoping process.

  • Perforce tools

P4 Code Review, P4 Plan, and
P4 DAM: included and managed

Most self-hosted Perforce (Helix Core) teams skip these tools entirely, not because they don't need them, but because configuring them correctly alongside a live server is genuinely complex. We deploy and manage all three as part of your Enterprise Cloud environment, ready on day one.
  • P4 Code Review
Native code review built for Perforce workflows
Structured review workflows that integrate directly with changelists, streams, and shelved files. File locking, binary assets, and multi-stream branching all work as expected, no workarounds required.
  • P4 Plan
Project management built around Perforce changelists and streams
Project schedules, backlogs, and resource planning connected directly to your Perforce activity. No manual sync between what engineers commit and what project managers track.
  • P4 DAM
Digital asset management for large binary workflows
Metadata tagging, asset search, preview generation, and controlled distribution for large binary files. Built for game studios and media teams managing terabytes of textures, audio, video, and compiled assets.
  • Migration

Migrate your existing Perforce environment with zero downtime

Most teams that move to Enterprise Cloud already run Perforce somewhere: self-hosted on-premises, on AWS, or with another provider. The trigger is usually the same: infrastructure becomes a burden, performance degrades, and the support model no longer matches what is running on it. We manage the full migration.
  • 01
Assess
We review your present setup: depot size, workflows, integrations, access model, and operational limitations.
  • 02
Plan
We design the target architecture, migration path, and validation checkpoints. Stakeholder alignment happens here, before cutover.
  • 03
Migrate
We run a phased migration with integrity verification and rollback capability at every stage. Your team keeps working throughout.
  • 04
Stabilize
We monitor, tune, and support the environment post-migration until it runs exactly as expected.
We complete most enterprise migrations in under 2 business days with zero downtime.
  • Already have a Perforce license? Keep it.
Your license agreement stays between you and Perforce. Volume discounts and multi-year agreements carry over, and we manage the infrastructure. The licensing relationship stays yours.

Why enterprise teams choose
Assembla for dedicated Perforce hosting

We have been running Perforce in the cloud since 2015. The teams that choose Enterprise Cloud have outgrown self-hosting, had a bad experience with a provider that did not understand Perforce in depth, or need operational accountability that generic cloud infrastructure does not provide. When something breaks in production, you reach engineers who know the product, not a first-line support queue reading from a script.

FAQS

Still have questions?

We’ve got answers

Perforce Enterprise Cloud is dedicated single-tenant hosting for Perforce (P4), fully managed by Assembla. We build the environment around your security model, performance requirements, and operating model, with zero-downtime migration and Perforce-native tooling included: P4 Code Review, P4 Plan, and P4 DAM.

Yes. Your Perforce instance runs on dedicated infrastructure, isolated from all other customers, with no shared compute, disk I/O, or network. This is what distinguishes it from standard multi-tenant Perforce Cloud hosting.

Yes. Migration is included in every Enterprise Cloud deployment. We run a structured process: assess, plan, migrate, stabilize. We complete most enterprise Perforce migrations in under two business days with zero downtime.

Yes. Your license agreement stays between you and Perforce, and volume discounts and multi-year agreements carry over. We manage the infrastructure. The licensing relationship stays yours.

Teams running 100 users and 50TB typically see hosting costs drop from around $3,300/month to under $950/month with our P4Proxy optimization. That is about 70% savings, independent of any Perforce licensing arrangement.

Perforce Cloud is managed multi-tenant hosting: accessible pricing, 14-day free trial, Assembla platform included. Perforce Enterprise Cloud is dedicated single-tenant: higher P4 performance, zero-downtime migration included, enterprise-hardened server configuration, P4 Code Review, P4 Plan, P4 DAM, and custom architecture and pricing.

Yes, it is where most of our game studio customers run. Game studios rely on Perforce (P4) for version control of large binary files, 3D assets, and production pipelines that Git and Unity's built-in version control cannot handle at scale. Enterprise Cloud provides those teams with dedicated infrastructure, performance, and isolation that shared hosting cannot provide. Over 150 studios worldwide trust us with their P4 environments, including Two Point Studios, Romero Games, and Camouflaj.
