W&B Multi-tenant Cloud
A fully managed service deployed in W&B’s cloud infrastructure, where you can access the W&B products at the desired scale, with cost-efficient pricing options, and with continuous updates for the latest features and functionality. W&B recommends Multi-tenant Cloud for your product trial, or to manage your production AI workflows if you don’t need the security of a private deployment, self-service onboarding is important, and cost efficiency is critical.For more information, see W&B Multi-tenant Cloud.
W&B Dedicated Cloud
A fully managed service with dedicated, isolated infrastructure in W&B’s cloud. Choose this option if your organization requires conformance to strict governance controls including data residency, needs advanced security capabilities, and wants to optimize AI operating costs by not having to build and manage the required infrastructure with security, scale, and performance characteristics.For more information, see W&B Dedicated Cloud.
W&B Self-Managed
Deploy and manage W&B Server on your own managed infrastructure. W&B Server is a self-contained packaged mechanism to run the W&B Platform and its supported W&B products. W&B recommends this option if all your existing infrastructure is on-premises, or your organization has strict regulatory needs that W&B Dedicated Cloud doesn’t satisfy. With this option, you’re fully responsible for managing the provisioning, and continuous maintenance and upgrades of the infrastructure required to support W&B Server.For more information, see W&B Self-Managed.
