Can Jira be installed on-premises?
Jira Data Center remains the only Atlassian-supported option for on-premises installation, deployable on your own physical hardware, virtual machines, or Kubernetes clusters. However, it faces end of life by March 2029, with no new licenses or renewals after March 2028, after which it becomes unsupported and read-only.
Jira Server, the original self-hosted edition, ended support on February 15, 2024, and is no longer available for new deployments.
For organizations requiring high-level security in a self-managed environment, Easy8 provides a robust on-premises alternative with enterprise-grade encryption, role-based access controls, GDPR compliance, and seamless Jira data migration tools. This ensures continued data sovereignty and ongoing updates without Atlassian's impending EOL constraints.

Is Jira Server going away?
Yes, Jira Server has already ended. Atlassian officially ended support for Jira Server on February 15, 2024, ceasing all technical support, security updates, bug fixes, and new features. This means existing installations receive no further updates, increasing security risks for on-premises users.
Is Jira Data Center end of life?
Atlassian officially announced on September 8, 2025, that Jira Data Center will reach end-of-life on March 28, 2029. This represents the conclusion of the self-managed, on-premise deployment option for Jira Software, Jira Service Management, and other Atlassian products.
After this date, Data Center environments will transition to read-only mode, meaning no new functionality, security patches, or continued support will be available.
