THE OPPORTUNITY
Deploy AI in a way that fits your organization
Organizations have different requirements for technology, security, data handling, and day-to-day operations. Some prefer a managed cloud service, while others need to run their AI platform within infrastructure they control.
Deployment flexibility gives your organization options. You can discuss a hosted environment, a private cloud, an on-premises data center, or an air-gapped deployment for suitable use cases.
The right approach depends on your business goals, available technical resources, security policies, and how you plan to use AI agents across your organization.

KEY BENEFITS
Give your organization more control over its AI environment
Select the deployment approach that supports your team today and gives you options as your needs develop.
Managed Hosting
Use a hosted cloud environment with platform infrastructure managed for your organization.
Your Infrastructure
Deploy the platform in your own cloud or on-premises environment.
Security Alignment
Plan the environment around your access, privacy, and governance requirements.
Room to Evolve
Discuss deployment and migration options as your organization’s requirements change.
DEPLOYMENT OPTIONS
Choose the environment that fits your needs
Each organization has its own balance of operational resources, infrastructure preferences, and security requirements.
Hosted Deployment
Use a managed cloud environment while the hosting infrastructure, monitoring, and routine platform operations are handled for you.
Focus: managed operations.
Private Cloud Deployment
Deploy within your organization’s cloud account or private cloud environment using your selected infrastructure and policies.
Focus: control in your cloud.
On-Premises Deployment
Run the platform in your own data center or other on-premises infrastructure.
Focus: local infrastructure control.
RESTRICTED ENVIRONMENTS
Plan for sensitive or disconnected workloads
Some organizations require additional control over network access, data movement, and the AI models used in their environment.
Air-Gapped Deployment
Discuss a disconnected environment using compatible locally hosted models and platform components.
Government Cloud
Review government cloud options based on the agency’s infrastructure and security requirements.
Local AI Models
Consider supported self-hosted AI models when external model services are not appropriate.
The feasibility of a restricted deployment depends on the selected models, infrastructure, integrations, installation, and update processes.
FIND THE RIGHT FIT
Match your deployment to your team’s resources
Both managed and self-managed approaches can support enterprise AI. The best choice depends on your requirements.
Focus on AI use cases
A hosted environment can help your team concentrate on configuring agents and serving users while infrastructure operations are managed.
Focus: managed platform operations.
Operate in your environment
A self-managed deployment can align the platform with your existing cloud, data center, and operational practices.
Focus: infrastructure control.
Plan the next phase
Discuss a future move from hosted to self-managed deployment when your organization is ready.
Focus: long-term flexibility.
DATA AND SECURITY
Design your deployment around your security requirements
Your AI environment should fit the way your organization manages identity, access, data, and operational oversight.
Data Location
Review where organizational information is stored and processed within the chosen deployment.
Identity and Access
Plan authentication and role-based permissions around your organization’s policies.
Network Controls
Consider network boundaries, connections, and external services as part of the architecture.
Monitoring and Logs
Define how platform activity is monitored and reviewed by authorized teams.
AI Model Selection
Choose supported model options that align with your data and operating requirements.
Governance
Establish responsibilities for updates, oversight, and ongoing administration.
Data handling and compliance depend on your complete deployment, selected model providers, integrations, agreements, and operating practices.
AI MODEL FLEXIBILITY
Choose models that support your deployment strategy
Different use cases may call for different AI capabilities. Review model options alongside your infrastructure and data requirements.
Supported Commercial Models
Consider models from supported providers when external services align with your policies.
Self-Hosted Models
Consider compatible locally hosted models for environments requiring additional control.
Future Model Choices
Review model configurations as your use cases, available technology, and requirements evolve.
SOURCE CODE AND OWNERSHIP
Explore the level of platform control your team needs
Deployment planning can include a discussion of source code access, licensing, customization, and the responsibilities of your technology team.
Review the Platform
Explore source code access to support technical review and understanding of the platform.
Customize Your Experience
Discuss how your team can adapt the platform and integrations to your organization’s needs.
Plan Licensing and Support
Review the applicable license terms, deployment services, updates, and ongoing support.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about deployment flexibility
What does deployment flexibility mean?
Deployment flexibility means your organization can discuss different environments for its AI platform, including managed hosting and infrastructure it controls.
What is managed hosted deployment?
Managed hosted deployment provides the platform through a cloud environment where hosting infrastructure and routine platform operations are managed for you.
Can we deploy the platform in our own cloud?
Yes. Deployment in a supported cloud account or private cloud environment can be planned around your organization’s infrastructure and security requirements.
Can the platform run in our own data center?
Yes. On-premises deployment can be discussed based on your infrastructure, operational resources, and project scope.
Is an air-gapped deployment available?
An air-gapped deployment can be considered using compatible local models and components. Installation, updates, and connected-system requirements should be reviewed.
Can we start hosted and move to our own infrastructure later?
Yes. A move from hosted deployment to your own infrastructure can be discussed as your requirements change. Migration scope, licensing, and operational responsibilities should be reviewed for your project.
Can we choose the AI models used in our deployment?
Supported commercial and self-hosted model options can be reviewed based on your use cases, infrastructure, and data policies.
