CAS: GB Cloud vs. Standalone

No matter which way you decide to go, the Crypto Application Server (CAS) must get involved.

You’ll have 2 options when connecting your BATM to CAS. Each has its own merits and drawbacks. These points will be presented here.

Crypto Application Server (CAS)

Your BATM must connect to a server. The server is the actual heavy-lifter. It connects to your BATM and your wallets and other resources. The BATM is little more than a remote control for the CAS server, a place that your customers can securely identify themselves & insert (or receive) fiat.

If you plan on expanding your network, or demand complete control - then you should consider operating your own CAS server (Standalone).

The GB Cloud CAS

The GB Cloud CAS is operated by General Bytes. We maintain it, secure it, upgrade it, backup, and administer the CAS. For that convenience, we charge 0.5% of conducted transactions/month/organization, but support fees are half that of a Standalone CAS.

To use the GB Cloud CAS, merely login to the GB Cloud CAS with your Operator credentials, and

Standalone Server

If you feel confident in your ability to administer the server yourself, you’re welcome to operate your own Standalone CAS server. You’re responsible for selecting a host, installation, setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting - however you’ll have complete control over your server. For many customers, that’s an absolute necessity.

If you’ve decided to operate your own Standalone CAS server, then please navigate to the Sales page on our website to purchase the appropriate license at:
