# Deployment options

> Choose between W&B deployment types: Multi-tenant Cloud, Dedicated Cloud, and Self-Managed for your organization.

The following sections describe the different ways you can deploy W\&B, so you can choose the deployment model that best fits your organization's security, compliance, and operational needs. The options range from W\&B-managed shared infrastructure to fully self-managed deployments in your own environment.

## W\&B Multi-tenant Cloud

[W\&B Multi-tenant Cloud](/platform/hosting/#wb-multi-tenant-cloud) is fully managed by W\&B, including upgrades, maintenance, platform security, and capacity planning. Multi-tenant Cloud is deployed in W\&B's Google Cloud account in [Google Cloud's North America regions](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones). [Bring your own bucket (BYOB)](/platform/hosting/data-security/secure-storage-connector) optionally lets you store W\&B Artifacts and other related sensitive data in your own cloud or on-premises infrastructure.

## W\&B Dedicated Cloud

[W\&B Dedicated Cloud](/platform/hosting/#wb-dedicated-cloud) is a fully managed platform with dedicated, isolated infrastructure, designed with enterprise organizations in mind. W\&B Dedicated Cloud is deployed in W\&B's AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure account. Dedicated Cloud provides more flexibility than Multi-tenant Cloud, but less complexity than W\&B Self-Managed. W\&B manages upgrades, maintenance, platform security, and capacity planning. Each Dedicated Cloud instance has its own isolated network, compute, and storage, separate from other W\&B Dedicated Cloud instances.

Your W\&B-specific metadata and data is stored in an isolated cloud storage and is processed using isolated cloud compute services. [Bring your own bucket (BYOB)](/platform/hosting/data-security/secure-storage-connector) optionally lets you store artifacts and other related sensitive data in your own cloud or on-premises infrastructure.

W\&B Dedicated Cloud includes an [enterprise license](/platform/hosting/hosting-options/self-managed/) with support for security and other enterprise-friendly capabilities.

For organizations with advanced security or compliance requirements, features such as HIPAA compliance, single sign-on, or customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) are available with Enterprise support. [Request more information](https://wandb.ai/site/contact).

## W\&B Self-Managed

[W\&B Self-Managed](/platform/hosting/hosting-options/self-managed/) is entirely managed by you, either on your premises or in cloud infrastructure that you manage. Your IT/DevOps/MLOps team is responsible for:

* Provisioning your deployment.
* Securing your infrastructure in accordance with your organization's policies and [Security Technical Implementation Guidelines (STIG)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Technical_Implementation_Guide), if applicable.
* Managing upgrades and applying patches.
* Continuously maintaining your Self-Managed W\&B Server instance.

You can optionally obtain an enterprise license for W\&B Self-Managed. An enterprise license includes support for security and other enterprise-friendly capabilities.

See [W\&B Self-Managed](/platform/hosting/hosting-options/self-managed/) or review the [reference architecture](/platform/hosting/self-managed/ref-arch/) guidelines.
