Pro Cloud Server - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is Pro Cloud Server?

Sparx Systems Pro Cloud Server is a secure access and integration layer for Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect repositories. Rather than acting as a simple hosting server, it provides the services that enable collaboration, centralized licensing, and integrations around EA models.

It sits between Enterprise Architect and your infrastructure as a managed service layer. Distributed teams connect to EA repositories through Pro Cloud Server instead of directly to databases or file-based models. This gives you controlled, scalable access to a single source of truth, while keeping security and governance in place.

Pro Cloud Server is the gateway for web and out-of-the-box integrations with tools like ServiceNow, Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, etc. It exposes OSLC and REST-based service endpoints that allow platforms such as Prolaborate, internal portals, and other tools to consume EA model data in a controlled way.

Key Capabilities:

• Secure access layer for EA repositories

Provide authenticated, managed access to Enterprise Architect repositories for remote and on-premises users without exposing databases directly.

• Model collaboration for distributed teams

Allow multiple users to connect to shared EA repositories through Pro Cloud Server, supporting remote, hybrid, and global collaboration against a single source of truth.

• Floating License Server for Enterprise Architect

Use the built-in Floating License Server to centrally manage and allocate Enterprise Architect licenses across users and teams, improving utilization and reducing admin overhead.

• OSLC and REST-based integration gateway

Enable web-based access and third-party integrations with Enterprise Architect using OSLC and REST-based service access, instead of direct database connections or bespoke scripts.

• Foundation for Prolaborate and web portals

Act as the required backend for Prolaborate and other web interfaces that need secure, performant access to EA models and metadata.

• Support for secure, governed deployments

Help align with security and governance expectations by keeping EA repositories behind a controlled service layer, with options to fit your network and hosting standards.

Who Uses Pro Cloud Server?

Pro Cloud Server is typically used by organizations that have standardized on Sparx Enterprise Architect and need to scale it beyond a small local team:

• Enterprise Architecture and Architecture Governance teams

• Software and Systems Architecture teams working across locations

• IT operations or platform teams responsible for hosting EA at scale

• Organizations deploying Prolaborate or other web-based consumers of EA data

• Companies that need centralized license management for Enterprise Architect

When Pro Cloud Server Is a Good Fit

Pro Cloud Server is a good fit when organizations:

• Want to move from file-based or isolated EA models to shared repositories with secure, managed access

• Need to support remote or globally distributed teams working on the same Enterprise Architect repositories

• Require centralized floating license management for Enterprise Architect to simplify administration and improve utilization

• Plan to use Prolaborate or other web portals to expose architecture and portfolio insights from EA

• Need a controlled integration layer that exposes EA model data via OSLC and REST instead of direct database access

• Want to align their use of Enterprise Architect with security, governance, and infrastructure standards, using Pro Cloud Server as the managed access and integration layer
