"...the on-premise offering of Quay was released."
It's my premise that the author of that press release doesn't know the difference between "premise" and "premises." I know we have a habit in American English to evolve the meaning of words faster than any other language but surely IBM's press team could offer to proof-read things like this before posting.

(And yes, I die inside a bit when someone on NPR ends a sentence with a preposition...)
- kitd 7y agoIBM use "on-premise" all the time. Like it or loathe it, it's become the accepted neologism for "self-hosted".
- ghaff 7y agoMy personal preference is to use "on-prem" because: 1.) There are arguments but no definitive justification for choosing between on-premise and on-premises. 2.) A lot of what gets lumped under on-prem is not actually on your premises anyway. It's in a colo or a managed hosting provider, etc.
