Deployment options

W&B Multi-tenant Cloud

A fully managed service deployed in W&B’s cloud infrastructure, where you can seamlessly access the W&B products at the desired scale, with cost-efficient options for pricing, and with continuous updates for the latest features and functionalities. W&B recommends to use the Multi-tenant Cloud for your product trial, or to manage your production AI workflows if you do not need the security of a private deployment, self-service onboarding is important, and cost efficiency is critical.See W&B Multi-tenant Cloud for more information.

W&B Dedicated Cloud

A single-tenant, fully managed service deployed in W&B’s cloud infrastructure. It is the best place to onboard W&B if your organization requires conformance to strict governance controls including data residency, have need of advanced security capabilities, and are looking to optimize their AI operating costs by not having to build & manage the required infrastructure with security, scale & performance characteristics.See W&B Dedicated Cloud for more information.

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 & its supported W&B products. W&B recommends this option if all your existing infrastructure is on-prem, or your organization has strict regulatory needs that are not satisfied by W&B Dedicated Cloud. With this option, you are fully responsible to manage the provisioning, and continuous maintenance & upgrades of the infrastructure required to support W&B Server.See W&B Self-Managed for more information.
To get started quickly, W&B recommends Multi-tenant Cloud.Some features and functionality require an Enterprise license. To try these features, sign up for an Enterprise trial and choose your deployment type.
